We note the new version of CDU from Connectix and list  shipping software for the Power Macs (lots of international companies on  that list!). Rounding out the issue, Matt Neuburg and Adam focus on the  small Macintosh developer.

With NChess, you can keep track of multiple games and multiple players. You can play  using one Newton (handing it back and forth), or you can play with two  Newtons via infrared, email, printing, or faxing. With NChess, you can play against any Newton owners anywhere in the world so long as they have access to NewtonMail. A later version of NChess will allow you to send and receive text versions of a game. This makes it possible to play through the  internet with anyone. Please read the Beta Docs included with NChess for  information on how to use this version of NChess. NChess is simple to use,  but it is a good idea to browse through the docs before you get started.

This is a Newton game based on the  old African game Mancala. There are many variations to the game in general, this is just one of them. The object is to get all the stones (or the  most). Instructions are included within the game.  New for version 1.1 -  Newton plays smarter! The User can configure board to start with 2-6 stones in each hole.

You are the commander of the Lunar Landing Module. You must have  nerves of steel and fast reflexes to land your spacecraft on the moon. The  harder the landing spot, the more points it is worth. Obey your computer's  warnings of speed, and keep an eye out on your oxygen supply! One little  mistake and its the history books for you! Lunar Lander a deceptively  simple game. It takes most people several tries before they can even land  on the simpler spots. Try the spots to the right if you think you've got it wired! I promise you that it's possible to land in the harder spots, I  landed in all the spots myself! Shareware!!
Bookcase.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Bookcase.sit                        0       5K      6/20/94     Bookcase - This is another hack from Bill Kearney. It just lists all the  books currently installed in your Newton and lets you open them by clicking on their name from it's list. The Find Only in Books box does just that. It limits the find function to looking only in ALL books and nowhere else.  It's only while you're in Bookcase or in one of the books you've opened.  Shareware, $5.

There is also a 6k help file  that may be loaded for online help. If NewtonUnlock is stored on a card,  simply install the card when the Newton asks for the password. Wait for the Newton to read the card, and "poof" you're into the Newton. If NewtonUnlock is stored on the internal RAM, do a reset. The password screen will close  soon after opening, and you're into the Newton. Once into your Newton, run  NewtonUnlock from the "Extras" drawer and remove the password. This version places logs in the notification to allow someone to check if their Newton  was broken into. Freeware.

It is unobtrusive and simple to use. X-Master's basic  design is similar to launching utilities such as Now Utilities NowMenus for the Macintosh which provides a popdown list of applications and documents  to open. X-Master is small (roughly 9K) and therefore can be loaded into  either internal memory or onto a storage card. After installation, you will see a small dot in the upper right (or left) hand corner of your screen.  Tap it for a list of user installed apps, then tap again to launch an app.

The list is numbered along its left  side. This number is the uniCode decimal equivalent of the first character  shown on its line. The app defaults to displaying 20 characters across. You can change this by selecting from the "Per line" pop-up near the bottom of  the apps window. There are choices for 10, 15 and 20 characters per line.  Just above the Per line pop-up is a font pop-up. Select Espy, Geneva or New York and the list of characters will be displayed in that font. It's  probably only useful to developers. To use uniCode info, refer to your NTK  manuals and look up the Chr() and Ord() functions. Expiring demo.

This is a great list, but you'll need Excel 2.2 or later to open it. The Newton  titles are listed alphabetically, and the version number, author, and  description are given, as well as it's usefulness, Newt rating (coolness  factor), size when loaded, date of the last revision, type of program  (free, commercial, shareware...), fee, and notes for some. This is a great  and very useful list, updated 5/24/94. You'll be amazed at the number of  titles. Maybe you should buy a Newton?

This Newton book is a test venture to see if they really want to go in this direction. With this  first edition, they take a look as two Newton packages (both very useful  commercial), tell about upcoming BIC and smart phone Newtons, which are on  tap to ship this year, and take a look at whether you should upgrade you  current Newton or get the new 110.

Snake 2.6.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Snake 2.6.sit      2.6              0      34K      6/13/94     Snake 2.6 - Snake is a Newton game where a snake will run and run and grow  and eat and grow...and crash. You're job is to keep the snake alive as long as you can, and to keep the snake from crashing into rocks, walls and into  itself. Steer the snake by tapping next to it's head.
Slurpee 1.0.sit          NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Slurpee 1.0.sit     1.0              0      34K      6/13/94     Slurpee 1.0 - Slurpee transfers paragraphs or tab-delimited text between a  text file and Newton soup entries via a terminal emulator and serial  connection. I wanted a convenient way to move information from the desktop  to soups on the Newton, especially text paragraphs to separate Notepad  entries, and vice versa. Newton Connection Kit (NCK) is also a possibility, though it is slower, more complicated, and expensive. Although Slurpee was  created primarily to support moving NewtonScript application/method sources by users of my Newt application development tool, I thought that this  utility may be useful for others as well.
SleepAid 1.2.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:SleepAid 1.2.sit     1.2              0      22K      6/13/94     SleepAid 1.2 - SleepAid covers all aspects of power management on your  Newton (Classic, MP100, MP110 or German MP). It replaces the default  "Sleep" preferences allowing you to set two sleep times - one for battery  and one for AC. It lets you reboot or sleep your Newton even if some errant application wants it to stay awake. And finally, it adds a SleepAidNow  corner for one tap sleep and a HeapStatus corner for an instant reading  of free heap space. SleepAid is not a radical change from the existing  interface. It adds functionality without complexity and implements sleep  the way it should have been in the first place.
SetClock.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:SetClock.sit                        0      13K      6/13/94     SetClock - This small utility will set Newton's time by calling the  National Institute of Standards in Boulder, Colorado. It installs in the  Preferences roll and does not have an icon in the Extras drawer (although  you still use Remove Software to get rid of it.) The 'Options' button  brings up the Dialing slip which allows you to set your local area code, as well as any dialing prefix, access code, or credit card information.  Tapping the 'Call' button initiates the call. Newton will hang up  immediately after receiving the time code. Now you can be sure that your  Newton's clock is always correct!
SendMyBizCard 1.5.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:SendMyBizCard 1.5.sit     1.5              0      14K      6/13/94     SendMyBizCard 1.5 - Send My Biz Card is a small app that lets you create an entry in your Names cardfile using the information in your 'Personal'  preferences or just select an existing one. It remembers this card and  whenever you want to send your electronic business card, just open 'Send My Biz Card' and hit the 'Beam' button. No more need to search for your card  with the find function or a lot of taps on the screen.

You start by entering the total, including tax and everything. Enter  the tip rate - 15 percent...The tip will be calculated for you. Enter the  number of people to divide the bill by, and a table will appear. The great  thing is the Extras section. Say you go out to lunch and your friend orders two drinks. You want to split the bill, but not pay for the drinks. Enter  the cost of the drinks, and how many. That money will be subtracted from  the split total. Then you each pay the split amount, and your friend throws in the extra for the drinks. And now, you can link people (dates,  spouses...) and get your total versus your single friend's. Freeware!
RUNewt 2.2.sit           NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:RUNewt 2.2.sit     2.2              0      32K      6/13/94     RUNewt 2.2 - After starting RUNewt, titles of any RUNewt applications  appear in a scrollable list (overview returns you to the top). Once you  make a selection, you can select an action from the Action(Routing) button  to Run App, Beam, Mail (via NewtonMail) or Delete the selected application. Once another application is started, you can drag RUNewt out of the way, or just close it. When you have deleted all RUNewt applications, the  "application soup" is removed. Currently, you create RUNewt-format  applications on your Newton either - by saving applications created by Newt 2.2 (or later) or by receiving a beam or mail from another RUNewt user. Now contains two packages, one with, one without protoEndPoint (+/- 13K).
QuickFind 1.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:QuickFind 1.0.sit     1.0              0      12K      6/13/94     QuickFind 1.0 - QuickFind automatically searches for text that is selected  (or text that was just entered) when the Find button is tapped. So to say  it makes the Find button work the same way as the Assist button does.  QuickFind also adds a check box to the find slip. As long as it is not  checked the Find or the All button in the find slip still has be to tapped  to start the search. If the check box is checked the search is started  automatically. There is another feature that QuickFind adds to the Find  function. The last ten terms that were looked up are listed in the 'Look  for' pop-up menu. Very handy!

This list contains all the currently installed apps in  your Newton. Tapping on one of the items will launch the selected app. It  also supports digital books. 1.08 - A near complete rewrite! Now uses a  smaller font in the menu for MORE apps! PickExtras is now card friendly and will close itself upon ejecting the card. This demo version of PickExtras  will expire 30 days after you install it. This version will totally expire  on 12/31/95 and will not let you install or use it after that date.

PageXpress also lets you send the same message to multiple subscribers at the same time. The  application is quite simple to use, once you've configured your recipient list. To do so select "Manage Recipients" after tapping on the action  button. The Recipient Manager window will appear and you can Add or Delete  entries. You can also edit an existing entry by double-tapping on the entry in the Recipient Manager list.

Now, instead of tapping Assist, please, a choice and THEN tapping  please, you just tap Assistance!, tap from the pop-up list and it executes!

So the next time you see a  phone number or name somewhere, select it and tap Assistance!-Call. It will set it up for you. Assistance! only uses the top portion of your Assist  button. If you'd like to continue to use the Assistant in the regular  Newton fashion, simply click on the lower half of the Assist button.

All Thumbs to the rescue! This little hack adds three buttons to the display when a book is opened. A left, right and  drag button. They're function is pretty obvious.

Tap and drag  this and you can move All Thumbs anywhere on the screen. All Thumbs will  close automatically when you close the book. If you select All Thumbs from  the Extras drawer, it will open and all apps can use it. Expires 30 days  after install, and will not install after 12/31/95.

Use with caution. Sometimes works only partially in Dates. There are two other design errors I couldn’t fix - Undo isn’t supported when you need it most, and the Close box sometimes  means “Save Changes” and sometimes means “Discard Changes.” The conjunction of these last two NewtonMail misfeatures and MailFix’s working only  partially in Dates can be particularly annoying. Version 0.40d1 now works  with NewtonMail 1.2b. This is a beta. Freeware by [e-mail].

I basically only  want the Newton to search the Names and the Notes. With the advent of  books, it's a HUGE inconvenience waiting for it to finish with The Jungle  Book when I'm just looking for Rob's phone number! What it does - It  modifies the findApps slot. This is an array that the Newton looks through  when doing finds. It was a pain to find this stuff, not to mention how  irritated the Newton gets when you whack something it _really_ needs. Don't write to ROM, it just irritates the ROM. <grin>. Pay the shareware fee!!

Two packages are included. One says "Uh OH", the other, "What the Hell?".  You may install only one package at a time. Just run it once after  installing (or reseting) to activate the new sound. It overrides the normal System Beep routine. Now, when you get an alert, you will hear "Uh Oh" or  "What the Hell ?", instead of the alarm sound that you selected in the  Preferences Section. To cancel this new beep sound, you need to remove the  package or reset your machine. If you install it in internal memory (it's  about 12k), it won't holler at you when you remove a card. The sounds are  from AMUG's Ashley Barnard, and her mother, Joey Baker.
RemoveIt 2.2.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:RemoveIt 2.2.sit     2.2              0      11K      5/30/94     RemoveIt 2.2 - What is RemoveIt? RemoveIt! lets you quickly remove Packages and Soups from the internal or PCMCIA card. Also, RemoveIt! lets you remove entries from the System and Directory soups (can be fatal if you remove the wrong entry, so be carful). The system soup is where preferences for  various packages are stored. The Directory soup is where MetaData is  stored. MetaData is the data that the NCK uses to display soups for  editting. WARNING -  While the remove button gives you an chance to change  your mind (there is a confirm dialog), undo is NOT supported. If you remove it, it is gone! This is also a good program to use if you want to snoop  around. Just be careful!
1st Name.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Books:1st Name.sit                       0     172K      5/30/94     1st Name - "A First Name Basis" is the first novel in a Science Fiction  trilogy about the relationship between humanity and the Kjilt--a  plant-evolved species. "First Name" introduces us to Drew Joplin, who has  been living on their world for five years and who is recalled to Earth to  solve a Kjilt mass-murder. But he also has another agenda, one given toohim by the Kjilt God itself... This is an original novel by Mark Underwood.
TipsterPlus! 1.0.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:TipsterPlus! 1.0.sit     1.0              0      12K      5/23/94     TipsterPlus! 1.0 - This is a handy Newton application to take with you when you're eating out! Just enter your bill, tax and tip rates, and everything  is calculated for you. You can also enter the amount of people dining, and  extras (such as if one person had a drink). Very useful!
TTime 1.2.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:TTime 1.2.sit      1.2              0       6K      5/23/94     TTime 1.2 - Ttime (tiny time) is a small program to give you a small  digital clock. It locates itself in the top left corner of the screen and  can be dragged to where ever. It updates the time every 60 seconds. No  need to restart it if you reset your Newton. It will automatically start.  Ttime floats above most all windows to stay visible. If it's not visible  over another floating window after 60 seconds, close and re-open it (tap  its Extra Drawer Icon twice). The top left placement was determined to be  where most Applications kept blank. However, there are a few that use  that spot, so you can drag it to where you want. There is no close box as it would destroy the simplicity of Ttime.
Signature.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Signature.sit                       0       8K      5/23/94     Signature - Contains two freeware programs - Signature and Signed.  Signature adds a new preference to the preference roll where the user can  put in their signature. It makes an entry in the userConfiguartion entry  called signature. I hope to include this in future ROMs and want to get  this out so that other applications (like the next one) can take advantage  of it. Signed takes advantage of Signature and adds a new print format to  the paper roll which provides for a letter format that automatically signs  the letter with the signature in the preferences.
Newton Phone List.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Mac:Newton Phone List.sit                      0       6K      5/23/94     Newton Phone List - This small utility takes exported fields from the  Newton Connection Kit 2.0 and reformats it into an RTF (MS Word and  compatible) file suitable for printing as a wallet reference for phone  numbers. It can also generate tab-delimited output for use in other word  processers or spreadsheets. It is easy to use and straightforward to  customize for individual needs. Requires HyperCard, and a Mac.
Motile Demo.sit          NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Commercial Demo:Motile Demo.sit     Demo             0     152K      5/23/94     Motile Demo - From the creators of "Columbo's Mystery Capers" and "Dell  Crosswords & Other Word Games" comes the first action-strategy game for the Newton -- Motile! The Motile demo has complete on-line help, and four  sample levels to give you an idea of what the game is like. For each maze,  Moe has a set time limit to reach the goal. The clock does not start until  the first wall is placed or removed. Once you think you've found the  solution, release Moe, and hope he makes it to the star. The actual game contains over 100 levels on a 1 MB PC-MCIA card, and will give you many,  many hours of fun. Before you try some levels, we suggest you tap the Quick Start Info button first. We hope you enjoy it! It's fun!!
Memfree 0.91.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Memfree 0.91.sit     0.91             0      11K      5/23/94     Memfree 0.91 - MemFree shows the amount of memory free as reported by  stats() -- that is, the amount of the NewtonScript heap that's free. The  number is kept up to date by a viewIdleScript (as long as the checkbox is  checked) and the GC button can be used to force a garbage collection if you want to know the amount of memory that can be made free. It's (in my  opinion) a mildly annoying aspect of stats() that it prints more  information in the inspector window than it returns as a call. For that  reason, if you have the inspector open while MemFree is running, you will  get the output of the stats() call every 3 seconds. Source code is  included.
Llama Dos 1.12.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Llama Dos 1.12.sit     1.12             0      30K      5/23/94     Llama Dos 1.12 - While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a  feature found on most computers - a command line interface for system  management. Rather than invent a new interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS  implements the world’s most widely used interface, with well over 40  million users - DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to make sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface survived  intact on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12. With LlamaDOS, a  user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of their system using the same commands they have used for years on PC’s.
Icon Editor 1.1.sit      NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:Icon Editor 1.1.sit     1.1              0      11K      5/23/94     Icon Editor 1.1 - First off I'd like as many programmers as possible to use it    if they're doing icon editing of any sort, since this will reduce  overhead on a newt if multiple programs want to do this. If your a  developer, you can include this app in package form with your app at no  charge (just send me a copy). Pretty much useless to non-developers at this point, except to play with. Icon Editor now complies with the 'accepted'  methods for routing and such (I cheated with version 1.0.) The most  important change is that icons are now saved as bitmaps (binary objects,  thanks Mike.)
BetMaster 1.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:BetMaster 1.0.sit     1.0              0      14K      5/23/94     BetMaster 1.0 - Bet Master is a tool for the horse and dog racing  enthusiast that helps select the most profitable betting strategy. It  performs a statistical analysis on the handicapping odds provided by you,  and the "WIN" odds posted at the track to select the bets that are most  likely to generate the largest payoffs. Bet Master is SHAREWARE! So, if you use it (and especially if you win some $$$) please send $10 to the author.
AssistCalc 2.2.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:AssistCalc 2.2.sit     2.2              0      11K      5/23/94     AssistCalc 2.2 - AssistCalc was written to add many mathematical functions  to the Newton. For example, what if you want to calculate the following -  ((57*6)+89) / log 5. This could be a pain on Newton's calculator.  AssistCalc allows the user to write out (not tap, tap, tap) your equation  and AssistCalc will try it's best to figure out an answer for you. You can  then copy the answer to where you need it. You can either use the  AssistCalc program, or write a problem anywhere, highlight it and click on  Assist. You will then be taken into the AssistCalc program, and the answer  will be given. AssistCalc can deal with math functions such as - acos(x)  asin(x) atan(x) atan2(x,y) cos(x) cosh(x) exp(x) log(x) log10(x) and more!

Rebate.sit               NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Rebate.sit                          0       4K      5/16/94     Rebate - Rebate returns some of the memory used on an original Newton  MessagePad when applications are loaded. In that version of Newton, the  install scripts and icon for an application took up place in the working  memory or frames heap. Load lots of applications and the loss of the memory could be significant. Load this application as the first application in  internal memory and you should have more memory. Owners of MessagePad 100s  (and upgraded MessagePads) and 110s do not need this program. By Chris  Christensen. Takes up 3k on the Newton. 2/21/94.
PopExtras 1.1.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:PopExtras 1.1.sit     1.1              0      19K      5/16/94     PopExtras 1.1 - PopExtras consists of two parts, the first being a button  which is attached to the bottom of the NotePad next to the keyboard icon  etc. Tapping this button will present you with a pop-up menu containing a  user definable list of apps installed on the Newton. Tapping an app name  will open that app! The second part of PopExtras is the utility that is  used to select which apps will be displayed in the popup button. This  utility consists of a scrolling list which contains the apps installed on  the Newton (with the exception of books and the card app). Tapping on an  item in the list with place a check to the left of the app name, tapping  again will remove the check. Simple. Very Useful!
PDAPackageDownloader1.5.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Mac:PDAPackageDownloader1.5.sit     1.5              0      66K      5/16/94     PDAPackageDownloader (PPD) 1.5 - This is an update to the Newton Package  Downloader, the absolutely BEST program to install Newton packages with.  You'll need the AppleTalk ADSP Tool and Apple Modem Tool (from Apple) in  your extensions folder. Simply drop the package on PDA Package DL, and open a connection from your Newton. And there it goes! Also included is  LunaLoad, a newton applet, which with one touch connects to your Mac. And,  there is an extension which launches PPD when you double-click on a package (instead of the pokey Apple Connectivity Kit). Pay that shareware fee!
NotePak 1.14.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:NotePak 1.14.sit     1.14             0      83K      5/16/94     NotePak 1.14 - Intelligent To Do Management for the Newton™ MessagePad™.  NotePak was written as a replacement for the Newton's built-in to do  application. NotePak's author felt constrained by the to do application's  lack of categorization and only four priority levels. NotePak was designed  to manage information in a more organized fashion and it allows you to  store and retrieve information on Newton quickly and easily. With NotePak,  you can categorize, prioritize, and organize your data to suit your  specific needs. While NotePak makes a wonderful to do list manager, it can  also serve to help you manage all sorts of small notes and lists; there is  no limit on what kind of information you store in NotePak.
NewtRTFM 1.0 Demo.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Commercial Demo:NewtRTFM 1.0 Demo.sit     1.0              0     296K      5/16/94     NewtRTFM - NewtRTFM is a Newton programming reference. Containing nearly  800 topics, NewtRTFM is a concise electronic summary of the NTK 1.0.1  documentation. A Newton-resident program with superior navigation,  searching and experimentation capabilities, NewtRTFM essentially makes the  NTK printed documentation obsolete and speeds Newton prototyping and  development. NewtRTFM lets a programmer browse its database by category,  topic, partial string match, or sequentially. This program contains a demo  version of NewtRTFM that includes all the program's features but a limited  number of topics (about 200).
MemoryMassager.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:MemoryMassager.sit                      0       7K      5/16/94     MemoryMassager - The prime purpose of this is to call a garbage collection  in your Newton's memory. In theory, such a garbage collection should get  rid of all the dross hanging around, and you may find that this staves off  the need to restart from time to time (when using version 1.02 of the  Newton OS). It incidentally includes information about free and total  memory, battery power, and battery compartment temperature, all of which  are available in other tools on the Newton. However, try tapping on the  temperature bar... Everything else should be self-explanatory.
Memory 1 and 2.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Memory 1 and 2.sit     1 & 2            0       8K      5/16/94     Memory 1 and 2 - The memory utility provides a way to modify and change the current frames heap memory. When you run memory it will monitor how much  frames heap is available every .5 seconds and display this information. It  will also keep track of the minimum amount of memory it sees. There are two versions of memory. Memory2 will allow you to change how much memory is  available. This is intended to help developers test for low memory  conditions. You can only load one version of memory at a time. You can test for low memory conditions in your applications by tapping the down arrow.  This will take away an additional 2000 bytes of memory each time you tap  it. You can return this memory by tapping the up arrow.
Lil' Scrappy.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Commercial Demo:Lil' Scrappy.sit                      0      13K      5/16/94     Lil' Scrappy - Lil' Scrappy maintains a scrapboard list of up to 26 text  items and a list of up to 23 frequently used words/phrases, using a global, floating, draggable button pallet. You can cut and paste to any text area,  across all applications. The scrapboard receives information upon copy/cut  and releases it upon paste. The word list receives information upon  copy/cut, but retains the word upon paste. You can clear the entire word  list or individual words on demand. The word list is maintained in sorted  text order and the scrapboard list is maintained in arrival order. Tap the  the drag icon and get a help screen. This is a teaseware version of the  Commercial program Scrappy.

FilePad  allows you to manage information on the go and transfer data to and from  your personal computer. A file cabinet icon represents each database you  create. Like a file cabinet, FilePad stores a variety of files. Unlike the  average file cabinet, FilePad fits into the palm of your hand. Vital  information goes wherever you do. The FilePad Demo software is fully  functional. However, you are limited to three cabinets with six entries  each. This is a commercial demo.

The best feature is that you after you write a letter to guess, the newton shows you what letter it thinks you wrote (so you don't get hung  just because your Newton can't read your writing!!). Great feature! You can also choose the level of difficulty, and can choose to receive hints.
CheckList 1.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:CheckList 1.0.sit     1.0              0      17K      5/16/94     CheckList 1.0 - This application allows you to manage a set of check lists. These might be grocery lists, lists of what to pack for a trip, project  milestones, etc. CheckList supports such features as printing, faxing,  mailing and beaming lists. It allows you to add, sort, check off items. You can create a list of this that you sometimes buy at the grocery store and  then check off the items that you want to buy this week. You can then take  the checked items and create a new list from them to produce this week’s  shopping list. CheckList also supports folders and filing to aid in keeping a variety of lists.
Books Off 2.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Books Off 2.0.sit     2.0              0       7K      5/16/94     Books Off 2.0 - The "Find" button in the palette is very useful, especially the "Find All" command. It will look at all data in the Newton. But if  there is a digital book, the speed of the command execution will be very  slow. With BooksOff, "Find All" skips all digital books, so the execution  time becomes very short. Of course, if there is a time that the data in the digital book is required, BooksOff can be easily turned on or off.
Birthdays 1.1.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Birthdays 1.1.sit     1.1              0       7K      5/16/94     Birthdays 1.1 - Birthday updater is a simple App. It looks though all of  the names in the Names soup and adds an entry in the Repeat Names soup for  each birthday. As you add names with birthdays, simply re-run this app and  it will update the birthdays. The added feature of 1.1 is that there is now a checkbox to allow for the last name to be included in the birthday  annotation.

BeamMeUp will allow you to fill up the inbox of a friend  with items from your notepad. Beam Me Up brings up a list of all the notes  in your notepad and you can beam any set of them to one user by checking  off the appropriate notes. Makes it so easy! This works best when the  person who wants to receive sets their Newton in receive beams  automatically.

OnSet 1.0.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:OnSet 1.0.sit      1.0              0      43K      5/03/94     OnSet 1.0 - OnSet will allow you to change your "power-on screen" picture.  You can change it to a number of preset ROM/system bitmaps or bitmaps that  are stored in a special soup. A few such custom pictures have been included with the OnSet archive. Make sure that you install OnSet first and then  later install the other packages or you will crash your Newton. After  downloading the package, just open your prefs roll and select "Power-On  Screen" from the overview list. Clicking on the icon will get you there  too. Select your picture with the arrows and click on the set button.   Whamo! Your newton will now power-on with the picture you selected.

You can use it to convert from one  unit of measure to another. It supports, miles, furloughs (hey, I'm in  Maryland and we race horses here), yards, feet, inches, kilometers, meters, centimeters, millimeters and itty-bitty microns. Using it is very simple.  Install it anywhere, it's card friendly and fully supports card ejects.  Please note, you must close the Formula app before ejecting a card. It's  the Formula app that Needs the Card, not nLengths. Once you've installed  it, you can access it from the Formula app in the Extras drawer. It's  listed as Lengths.
NewNote 1.0b7.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:NewNote 1.0b7.sit     1.0b7            0      11K      5/03/94     NewNote 1.0b7 - My Newton was beginning to frustrate me in that handwriting recognition is far too slow to keep up with conversation. Ok, so I switched to digital ink. Problem there was that once your digital ink note gets to  about 2 or 3 screen sizes, it takes a long time for the Newton to accept  it so that you can scroll down to the next empty screen. (Also, if you  get too long - like 4 or 5 pages - the note will be too long and the  Newton will not accept it.) Finally, the the gesture for creating a new  page is often mis-interpreted as a word, causing even longer delays!!!  newPage installs a button onto the Notes app's status bar which quickly  creates a new page and scrolls you down one screen so that you're ready!
NewBullet.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:NewBullet.sit                       0       5K      5/03/94     NewBullet - This is a my rewrite of an old (wow, 5 months) program called  Bullet. This version should work on all Newtons, and should be compatible  with other programs that put buttons on the status bar (like NotePak).  Basically, the program puts a button on the Notes status bar. This button,  when pressed, inserts a return and a bullet into the text. Make sure you  have an insertion point! Just tap on the screen where you want the bullet,  then press the button. Nice for making lists in the Note pad.

The object is to visit all of the squares on the board once  and only once. It has online documentation and takes up about 30k of  memory. Knight Run is freely distributable but a 1994 copyright is retained by REXMERE Development. Changes from V1.0 -     Knight Run V1.1 fixes some  aesthetic issues largely related to the    smaller MessagePad 110 screen. Some changes were made to the distribution to make it easier to handle on  DOS/Windows    machines.

Happy is now compble with the MP110. Happy is simple.  Tap on Happy and a  reminder will appear. Happy will look through your Names for upcoming  birthdays. Happy will only perform this search once per day, or after a  reset. If someone has a birthday within 14 days of today's date, then Happy will show that person's name along with the number days until their  birthday. Of course, Happy won't know someone's birthday unless you  fill in the Names card field for birthdate.

The object of the game is to remove pegs from the cross-shaped board by jumping one over another until only one peg is left. Scoring is based on the number of pegs and the time remaining  at the end of the game. Three high scores are saved. There are two  different setups for PegBoard. The first setup places the starting hole in  the middle of the board; the second setup places the hole randomly. All combinations are solvable. Forest PegBoard 1.0 is compatible with the  MessagePad 100 and 110.

It allows you to enter a price and two discount percentages. It will then show you values of the price less the calculated percents. All you need to do is enter your  price in the upper right field. Use the pen or the keyboard, both will  work. Then you can enter one or both percentages. Bear in mind that these  are whole numbers that will be used as percentages. It's rather difficult to get the Newton to recognize a leading period, so I decided  against using them. The calculations are fully dynamic. As you type, the  sums will recalc. If you scrub out a value, it will blank the sum. When you load this package, tap on Formulas in the Extras drawer to access.

When you tap on BookCase, it'll show you a list of all of your  books, in case you feel like reading, but don't want to look all over the  Extras drawer. Also, a handy feature is that you can choose to hide the  books from the Extras Drawer - freeing up precious real estate!

It lets you register the time spent on a project. A project is characterized by 3  keywords that can be entered very easily via label pickers. New keywords  can be added simply by writing them down. Each project can have several  different associated time intervals. I call these time intervals TASKS.  Tasks have a start and stop date and time. You can define these start and  stop moments by using a build in timer or you can create a new task and  edit these dates and times manually. You can attach a free comment to each  task. For the Newton.

With Chron you can automate your daily  tasks on your Newton device. Chron will send your mail, faxes and print  jobs at any time. Chron can also get your mail, and perform any task or  tasks for which you would use the assistant. Chron will do any or all of  these things for you, everyday! Chron works even while you and your Newton  are asleep. For example, you can set Chron to get your mail at 5:30 am.  Leave your Newton plugged into your modem and hit the sack. At 5:30 am,  your Newton will wake up, get your mail and go back to sleep. Or you can  set Chron to call your Mom at 2:30 pm. This demo version does everything  the full version does, but the alarms won't work.

Now if your local  custom taqueria has a Sharp RY5AR021 Enhanced-Range Infrared Data Receiver  and is within range, you can save time by beaming your burrito order ahead  of you. If it's still a low-tech operation, you can instead email your  order, or if it's particularly quaint, fax it. No support yet for ethernet, since La Costena in Mountain View doesn't support it. User configuration,  client-to-client beaming, and client-to-client email with enclosures is not supported in the current version. If both clients have Burrito Beamer™  installed, beaming and email with enclosures will succeed.

The entity records can be mailed,  beamed, printed or faxed although none of these have yet been tested and  probably fail horribly. There are a couple of other programs that do  similar things to Netlook, but I wanted the practice programming and I  wanted to make it nice and easy to configure. There is also a certain  amount of use in being able to mail or beam (I hope) the records to other  people.

If you don’t  have your Newton constantly by your side and easily audible, you might miss an important reminder or error message. Now—if you can remember to do so —  you can find out what you missed. Of course, you could read (but not copy)  the last three messages by undoing twice and trying to undo a third time,  then tapping the Up Arrow, but you might not know that, or might not want  to undo twice. It also shows the free system memory figure given by  stats(), which is unrelated to the figure given in Prefs. Changes - Should  automatically adjust to screen size and displays time of message.

The author thought it would make a great  Newton book, so it was recompiled to work on the Newton. There are tons of  company names and phone numbers in this book. The Vendor name, toll free  number, local number, tech support number, and BBS are listed as available. A very handy reference!! There has been little effort to ensure the  completeness or accuracy of the information contained within the 87 pages  of this Newton Book. Enjoy.

It is based on  the famous Klondike solitaire game. You have the choice of playing 1 or 3  cards at a time. You can collapse Solo to an icon so you can see your  Notepad and resume play later. Beware that this is for extreme situations,  and you may run out of RAM... but it seems to work pretty well. You can  display the red suites as outlines for low contrast situations. On-line  help is supported to explain the rules and for all sorts of info. Simply  Tap the Question mark icon. Also, you can now double-tap on Aces or other  cards... to go to the foundation! Contains a lite version which uses less  space, and has less effects, great if you're low on space. Rejoice!

The previous  version did not support a find feature, and so you had to click each little button. With the advent of the Newton Digital BookMaker software, we put  together a sample Periodic Table in Newton Digital Book format. This allows you to search the book for certain chemical elements. Data included in the  PTE "Lite" package includes Atomic Number, Atomic Weight, Symbol, Name,  Electron Configuration, and Oxidation States. This is also much FASTER than the original application, and you can use the standard overview button to  bring up a scrolling list of the elements. Tap on one of 'em, and you're  there!

Namely, that you have to click twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls.  When you install Prefs Patcher, it replaces the close box in these rolls  with one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll.  You can still click on the overview button to get back to the overview. The application also places a dual-function button on the notepad status bar  for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.

In  this version I have limited the number of intervals to 24 to reduce memory  needs. I have also added accumulated totals for the interval times. This is necessary to help in the programming phase of multimedia where you need to  time intervals from a reference point. Pit is designed to time intervals  while the script or sound track is being played back or read. The intervals collected are used to design each animation or set of images for accurate  storyboards.

In this addendum, I rush out a fix to articles #2 & 3, and add some explanatory trivia to article #3.  There may be other bug fixes coming up. Includes A/S NewtonBook Settings -  This is the Mac-compatible, custom-created file I mentioned in article #3,  claiming that I had included it with article #2.

This fixes the current complaints that  folks have about setting up their Claris folder. The Claris folder is where BookMaker looks to find translators that allow it to read any kind of  word-processing document. The author's goal for this series is to support  the creation of solid, simple books that are equivalent to the books you  might find on the shelf in a mall bookstore.
MAKE NB4.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Books:MAKE NB4.sit      4                0      11K      3/24/94     MAKE NB4 - I have no intention of making this article a technical  masterpiece. There is an official, fully-detailed technical manual  (code-named "Dickens"), available for a mere $800. It also includes the  Newton ToolKit and BookMaker. I have a different goal. I want to help  average, reasonably- clever people publish their own, simple books for the  Newton. If you stop by the library or the local mall bookstore, the shelves are full of books that are quite useful despite their lack of animation and hypermedia features. This article simply tells the most common and  essential dot commands that will instruct BookMaker where to put a title  of a chapter heading for a simple book.
MAKE NB3.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Books:MAKE NB3.sit      3                0      18K      3/24/94     MAKE NB3 - This is Article 3 of the series on making Newton Books. It is  the most important one. It gives hints about removing spurious characters  (referred to as "filtering") and changing primitive, ugly characters to the kind of typographic characters that are built into every Newton. There are  a lot of judgment calls that you will be needing to make, and I hope to  cover most instances. THIS IS NOT A PLAIN TEXT FILE. It is in MS Word 5  format, and created on a Macintosh. After much debate, I decided to include formatting examples, which would be impossible to show in any other format.

I've been working hard every day to bring  these tutorials to the world at large, because my dream is to see hundreds  of thousands of books in a form readable on Newton MessagePads, Sharp  ExpertPads and future products with "Newton Intelligence." MakeNB 2  contains many, many tips on filtering text so that it "reads right" on the  Newton's tiny screen, explanations of dot commands, and miscellaneous  topics such as how to get your pictures to look their best on the Newton's  LCD screen. You'll need the Newton Toolkit 1.0b7 or higher (a commercial  program). Or, log onto AOL, and you can find folks to compile for you!
HeapIt 1.0.sit           NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:HeapIt 1.0.sit     1.0              0      11K      3/24/94     HeapIt 1.0 - HeapIt is a small utility for the Newton MessagePad that  removes InstallScripts from the system heap. The Newton OS leaves the  install scripts in the heap, even though they are only used once. We're not sure why it does this, but if you have 10-20 apps installed, that's a lot  of heap space! HeapIt also provides a heap space display on the Card/Backup slip and allows you to run HeapIt from there.When you run HeapIt, it will  list the available heap space (HeapIt uses some of the heap itself when it  runs). If you wish to purge the heap of InstallScripts, click on the "Kill  All InstallScripts" button. HeapIt will remove the InstallScripts one by  one, updating the heap status as it goes. Rebooting will reload scripts.

It contains  16 calculators for real life. Calculators are - Adding Machine, Big  buttons, Math/Scientific, Statistics, Babies/Babysitting, Dates, Grade  Point Average, High Tech Measures, Household Measures, Tips/sales tax,  Times, Architecture, Film Editing, Programming, Typesetting and more. This  newton applet is a running ad only, and does not contain any calculators.  But the movie does give great examples of what you can do with GoFigure.  You'll see the layout, and the look and feel of the product. Definitely  worth checking out! Also, the demo will let you quit at anytime. Runs on  the Newton.

Tired of not seeing your home  town represented in your Newton? Tired of Newton not knowing your area  code? Then Commuter is for you. Commuter not only allows you to quickly  change your location in the world clock (Time Zones) application, but you  can also add your own cities to Commuter. Although these cities will not  show up in the Time Zones app, they will be used by the Dialing Assistant  to figure out whether or not to dial long distance. Commuter uses Newton's  Intelligent Assistant. If you write "Commute to San Francisco," select it  and Tap Assist then Commuter will change your location to San Francisco.

For each guess, you will see  one or more of - Fermi-a correct digit placed correctly; Pico-a correct  digit placed incorrectly; or Bagels-no digits are correct. Winning is  indicated by "Fermi" for all digits, and an audible sound. Unlike  MasterMind, PicoFermiBagels does not allow duplicate digits. You can choose to work with 2 to 5 digits, and whether or not to include zero. Good number practice recognition for the Newton!

Ok, so all it does is reboot the  newton, but it accomplishes this in a new and unique way. Not only do you  get a nice little icon of a "failsafe" cover, but clicking on the icon  reveals a big friendly-looking button that "nukes" the screen and reboots  when pressed. Oh yea, just in case you carelessly leave the failsafe cover  open don't worry; it will close by itself about 6 seconds after it was  opened. This program falls into the category of "cute, but not extremely  useful, by-products of my learning process." Feel free to send comments or  offers to improve on my artwork.

It allows  you to watch most of the objects and navigate into the memory of your  Newton™. When you start SeeFrames from the extrasDrawer, it closes it and  then shows you the slots list of the 'viewfrontmost frame called "Front  view" in the top left labelPicker (it may be useful when debugging an  application, especially if you have an ExtraButton of ScrollEx attached to  SeeFrames). To see the content of a frame or an array (ex _proto, CodeBlock or viewChildren), tap on it and the slots list of it will be shown. You may repeat this until there no more frame or array on the list. More details  are given in the documentation.

Basically what we wanted to do was see what kind of things  could be done with arcade-like animation. This game is more of a  programming demo for the us then anything else, but we thought other people might find it entertaining. Your mission in this game is to defend your  cities from waves of ICBM's. This is accomplished with the defense missiles you have. Because of tracking stations already destroyed in the war, you  can only track two of your missiles at once. This means you'll have to  choose your shots wisely. Have fun and save your cities!

It was created as an experiment to see if this sort of thing  is feasible, and also because I got tired of using a stupid Xerox copy of  the existing campus map whenever I got a support call. Even if you don't go to UNT, check out the map! You can see a list of the buildings, select one  and be shown where it is. Or, you can tap on a building and be shown the  name. Good implementation of mapping! Contact the author for the code, or  help in making your own maps!

I wrote it primarily for my own use as  I found all other similar type applets not quite right for my own needs. It is small, unobtrusive, and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Once installed, tap on the little fountain pen nib icon and it will place a small dot in  the upper right area of the Newton screen. When you tap on this dot, which  is always available from any app, it instantly brings up the styles  palette. Tapping on it again puts the styles palette away.

(Grocery shopping is very much  like "order picking" in a warehouse with many SKU's.). Shopping List has  been steadily improved as it's been used as a test ground for new  approaches to Newton software. We envision a version 1.4 that will link  Shopping List to the Find and Intelligent Assistance features of Newton.  New to this version - The pull-down store section menu has been replaced  with a palette of icon buttons. Audio feedback is included. Scrolling the  overview lists is now in page steps instead of line steps.

In order to use the card, the person inserting the card  must enter the password. In order to use, tap the Safe Guard icon in the  Extras Drawer. Tap the "Password" button and enter your password to use.  Now whenever the card is put into a Newton, a password screen will open  asking for the password. Upon entering the proper password, Safe Guard will open itself if someone placed the card into a Newton. Safe Guard will not  open if there is not a log of bad attempts. You may tap any of the bad  attempts in the log to get more info about the attempt. To turn off  password protection, set the password to nothing just as in the Prefs.

Pour  sends the soup as text, with frames enclosed between braces and their  entries labeled and arrays enclosed between square brackets. Pour came  about for two reasons. First, I wrote a little app to keep track of the  hours I spend working for my various clients (anyone who would like a copy, please ask — I haven't distributed it just because I haven't yet decided  just what I want to do with it) and then realized that I probably didn't  want to let the data accumulate in my Newt forever. Hence Pour!

Its icon in the extras drawer indicates whether password protection is currently turned on or off. Click on its icon to toggle the state. The built-in way of turning on/off password  protection is somewhat cumbersome, especially if you do it often. To turn  off password protection you use Prefs, enter your old password, and leave  the new password line blank. To turn password protection back on, you return to Prefs and reenter your password.  The Password utility is so much easier!! Use of Password is free of charge.

Unfortunately,  accessing NewtonMail while you are on the go isn't as easy as using the  Newton itself. The biggest problem is that, as you move around the country, the phone number you have to dial to access NewtonMail changes from city to city. Of course, Apple provides a booklet listing all of the current  NewtonMail phone numbers for each city, but that booklet takes up valuable  travel space. Wouldn't it be great if there were a piece of Newton software that would let you change your NewtonMail phone number with just a few taps of the pen? Well there is! And, you just downloaded it! Demo.

The Newton utility program that will start to make Newtons independent of desktop computers and cables. Magic App will allow you to - Move applications between the Newton's internal storage and  external storage cards; Beam applications to another Newton; and Remove  applications with a single tap of the pen. The only caveat is that Magic  App is constrained by how much working memory the Newton has. This working  memory is called the Frames Heap Memory. It is a fixed size so you can only move and beam fairly small applications. Currently, 20-30K. HOWEVER, Apple  has said they will be fixing this limitation so on future Newton devices,  you may be able to beam much larger applications with this utility.

The first  program, “DateList” is for extracting changes made on the Newton for  addition to the calendar. The second program, “UpdateCal” replaces the  Intelligent Assistant for adding entries into the Newton Calendar.  “DateList” lists future calendar entries which have changed between  executions. The lists may be printed, faxed or copied to the notepad. When  the close box is pressed, “DateList” will ask to reset the date last  synchronized. An “OK” will clear these entries from future lists, while  “Cancel” does not reset the date.

If  you've used your Newton a lot, you already know how quickly it can eat  through batteries. But, you will probably be surprised at how fast your  battery life decreases once your batteries drop below a certain level.  Battery Brain monitors that decrease and will warn you as your batteries  become weaker and weaker. Battery Brain will also automatically turn off  sounds and the "Receive beams automatically" setting at user defined levels to help conserve battery power. This version is a complete rewrite from the ground up, with many changes!

Currently, three cycles starting at birth in a positive direction are postulated. The 23-day or physical cycle relates with physical vitality,  endurance and energy. The 28-day or sensitivity cycle relates with  sensitivity, intuition and cheerfulness. The 33-day or cognitive cycle  relates with mental alertness and judgement. For each cycle, a day is  considered either high, low or critical. Now your Newton can display a two  week biorythm after you input your name, birthdate and date to calculate.  Biorythms also takes advantage of Newton's Assist function!

IceBox1.0.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:IceBox1.0.sit      1.0              0      11K      2/09/94     IceBox1.0 - IceBox contains two programs to make life easier with the  Newton. The Newton will only let you see and access 30 programs from the  Extras drawer. IceBox gets around that. It presents a scrolling list of  your programs, allowing you to open those that you can't see in the drawer. Also included is minimize, which lets you have access at all times to the  your list of programs. You must install these two before you've hit the  limit of 30 (so you can see them and launch em). Caution, I've heard that  loading up your Newton can cause a System Heap problem, and problems down  the road. Just don't put 60 programs on!! If you start noticing problems  (rebooting often...), just reduce your amount of applications!
Great Chess GamesDemo.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Great Chess GamesDemo.sit     Demo             0      14K      2/09/94     Great Chess GamesDemo - First of all, this is a tool to help you study the  moves of great chess games, you can not play chess on your own with this  program. This prerelease lets you choose between three games - Fool's Mate  (a two move checkmate!), Morphy-Boucher and Spielmann-Honlinger, 1929. The  final version will have 20 games. Pick a game, and then watch it. Click  move, and watch the chess moves, and notes. You can learn alot!
Graphing101a4.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Graphing101a4.sit     1.01a4           0      16K      2/09/94     Graphing101a4 - Graphing 101 provides basic scientific graphing for your  Newton. Enter expression x textually using the pen and palette. Tap on the  graph surface to redraw it. To change bounds, tap on shadow boxes. To make  the graph smoother, tap on Segs in the upper right corner. Now you can  calculate equations such as sin(2x)/x! Rejoice. Graph any log, In, exp,  sin, cos tan, arc, hyp or erf equation.
DateUtil 0.92.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:DateUtil 0.92.sit     0.92             0      12K      2/09/94     DateUtil 0.92 - DateUtil lets you quickly and easily view all of your  Dates, Meetings, To do items, etc. The items are grouped by the Newton's  internal categories, use the Category menu to switch between them. Use the  Store menu to switch between items stored internally and those stored on  the card. The routing slip will let you move or delete individual items  (even those pesky hard to delete repeating items). If you move or delete an item and have second thoughts, press Undo. New - "All" item added to the  available settings for the "Store" menu. Ascending/Descending sorting for  the list. Displays weekday info for repeating events. Fixed bad word  wrapping of items in the list and much much more!
CopyMachine 1.00.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:CopyMachine 1.00.sit     1.00             0       8K      2/09/94     CopyMachine 1.00 - Before you have a RAM card (PCMCIA card), all of your  notes, to do's, addresses and calendar things are stored on the Newton's  internal memory. Once you obtain a PCMCIA card, there is no easy way to  transfer your personal data to the card (to free internal memory or what  have you). CopyMachine lets you do just that. After you launch it, it shows how many notes, addresses...you have, and where they are stored. You can  then transfer all or some of the items to the PCMCIA card. Or from the card to the internal storage. This was originally written to help those who were using a US Newton, and then obtained a local (German or..) Newton, and  wanted to transfer their personal items without backing up.
BSaver 1.0.sit           NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:BSaver 1.0.sit     1.0              0      10K      2/09/94     BSaver 1.0 - This package checks the battery level every 60 seconds and  adjusts the sound volume to match your preferences. (High sound settings  drain the battery). Bsaver Sets your sound volume according to battery  status - charged battery - high volume, 25 percent of battery - low volume. This package works in background until you tap again on it's icon in the  extra drawer. Features - Actual battery level is now a "real time"  indicator, percent added on each slider, no more error or reset when  removing - reinstall, now enable and disable "receive beam automatically"  if needed and shows state in the extraDrawer.
StorK 1.1.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:StorK 1.1.sit      1.1              0       5K      2/01/94     StorK 1.1 - StorK is a useful Newton application if you own a RAM card. It  adds a button to the status bar of Newton to let you quickly toggle between saving new things to the Newton (internal memory) or the Card. Saves you  the hassle of manually choosing where to store new things. StorK was  rewritten to conform to a newly emerging standard for adding buttons to the status bar of the Notepad application. StorK will now happily co-exist with other Notepad add-ins (or ons?), such as Jesse Devine's utilities.
StatusBar Buttons 2.0.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:StatusBar Buttons 2.0.sit     2.0              0      14K      2/01/94     StatusBar Buttons 2.0 - StatusBar Buttons is a single Newton applet which  places (up to) seven buttons in the status bar at the bottom of the  Newton's note pad application. Each of these buttons serve a distinct and  useful function, and generally make the Newton a better place to live. You  may select which buttons to display as appropriate for your unique needs.  StatusBar Buttons is a "persistent" applet. When installed, the buttons  appear immediately. When the Newton is reset, the buttons reinstall  themselves. They're always there, ready to serve. Buttons installed -  Bullet, quickstyle, exclaim! (punctuation), keys, ink sizer, words/letters  and prefs shortcut. Read the docs to find out more.
Convert 2.5.sit          NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Convert 2.5.sit     2.5              0      30K      2/01/94     Convert 2.5 - Convert! is a replacement for the limited conversion tables  which come with the Newton. General Features - Convert! allows the user to  enter and quickly convert between 133 common (and not so common) metric and imperial units. Once the value has been written into a field Convert!  automatically calculates the corresponding units in the table. The areas of conversion - area, length, volume, mass, pressure, temperature, energy,  time, power, velocity, computing. Example of the extent of this program -  In the Pressure area - calculate atmospheres, pascals, Newtons/sq metre,  Kilopascals, bar, dynes/sq metre, mm Hg, torr, inches water, pounds/ sq  inch. So many conversions, so little time...
AddDic2.0.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:AddDic2.0.sit      2.0              0      21K      2/01/94     AddDic2.0 - The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition  dictionary in the first versions is appalling. Having to use the  soft-keyboard to type stuff in all the time is a drag. And then it asks you if you want to add the word to the User Dictionary as well! This really  gets in the way. AddToDict is a small Newton application that allows  multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. It also has a  couple of other goodies. 2.0 has some System management features and  automatic addition from your "Notes" and "Names". Take a look at the "Pro"  features. They give you a look at the potential of a future Professional  version.
Ahorcados.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Ahorcados.sit                       0       9K      1/14/94     Ahorcados - Ahorcados is a hangman game for the Newton. The comments are quite funny when you guess a wrong letter. Play is as any hangman game, but don't blame the author if Newton can't read your writing. If you have trouble with Newton thinking you wrote a different letter than you did, simply tap twice in the area where you enter letters, and type the darn  thing! Graphics are line drawings (suitable for kids...). M
ake sure you  read the comments as you guess wrong or right! Keeps track of your wins and losses. Once installed, takes up 14k on the Newton.
ShapesRus 0.95.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:ShapesRus 0.95.sit     0.95             0      14K     12/27/93     ShapesRus 0.95 - This utility allows a Newton developer to see the visual  appearance of the various NTK Drawing shape attribute choices & their  combinations. You can choose what NTK Shape primitive to draw, its  foreground fill pattern, its foreground pen pattern, its background fill  pattern, and the mode of fg/bg pixel interaction. You can define your own  pattern and use it for fg fill, fg pen, or bg fill pattern. It also shows  you the HEX pattern value needed for NTK. Tap in input grid to toggle on or off the 8x8 pixel location. You can define your own polygon shape to  replace the default polygon (pentagon) shape. Polygon input supports snap  to grid option.
MortCalc 1.0.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:MortCalc 1.0.sit     1.0              0      17K     12/27/93     MortCalc 1.0 - MortCalc is not an Amortization program, but rather a tool  similar to those lenders use to qualify people for mortgages. Please  remember that factors other than just income are use to qualify borrowers.  Enter your monthly income before taxes and Newton will tell you how much  you can afford for monthly housing, how large of a mortgage you can afford  (both with or without downpayment). You can choose a 15 or 30 year  mortgage, and set the interest rate and percent down payment. If you enter  an incredibly high monthly income, you'll get a reminder to pay the $552  shareware fee, otherwise it's whatever where.
Scrambled 1.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Scrambled 1.0.sit     1.0              0      16K     12/07/93     Scrambled 1.0 - Scrambled is a word game in which you are given a scrambled word to decipher. You may choose the word length (up to 12 characters).  Scrambled keeps score for the competitively inclined. Both your average  time and your point score are tallied. Scrambled is great for students! It  really puts your brain through a workout. Scrambled exercises your verbal,  spelling, and pattern recognition skills. Scrambled words are used on Mensa tests. If you're polishing up to go let the world know what a genius you  are Scrambled is the thing to use. For the Newton.
RPN Calc 0.91.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:RPN Calc 0.91.sit     0.91             0      11K     12/07/93     RPN Calc 0.91 - RPN Calc is my interpretation of an HP41/42 style RPN  calculator. It contains most of the basic functionality of an HP scientific calculator. This is my first effort at Newton programming, I hope you enjoy using it. Version 0.91 - Fixed a minor problem with entry of EEX or Decimal immediately after a two operand function (+, -, etc.).
RemGuard.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:RemGuard.sit                        0       8K     12/07/93     RemGuard - RemGuard is a Newton MessagePad utitlity that helps prevent  missed appointment reminders posted by the MessagePad Dates application. If a Dates reminder comes due, the MessagePad will turn itself on, if  neccessary, and display the reminder in a small window. If you are not  there to see it, however, and the MessagePad turns itself off and you will  miss the reminder. The next time you turn the MessagePad on, the  MessagePad's reminder window will be closed. RemGuard makes sure you don't  miss reminders. RemGuard keeps track of your reminders, and will remember  them until you have acknowledged them.
Newtris.sit              NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Newtris.sit                         0      12K     12/07/93     Newtris - The game you've all been waiting for - Newtris. You might guess  from the name that it has to do with falling blocks on the Newton. It's  pretty straight forward. As the blocks fall you can tap right of the field  to move them right, left of the field to move them left, and there are  buttons for rotating them clockwise and counter clockwise (circular  arrows.) Tap the bottom of the field to drop the blocks fast for more  points. When you complete a row, poof, out it goes. Game ends when you  reach the top. Keeps High Score. Shareware $15.00. Note - See program info  box for details.
NetNames.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:NetNames.sit                        0      12K     12/07/93     NetNames - NetNames(tm) is a utility that uses the Newton chooser to see if there are named devices on AppleTalk. It is useful for - Network system  administrators to troubleshoot AppleTalk networks; 
and Newton users trying to print or use the Connection Kit over an unknown network. In order for  NTK, the Connection Kit, or the Newton Package Downloader to display an  AppleTalk name, they must be setup for AppleTalk and be "waiting for the Newton". Otherwise they will not register their name on the network,  and NetNames will not see them.
Checkers 1.1.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Checkers 1.1.sit     1.1              0      13K     11/23/93     Checkers 1.1 - This checkers program is being written to help me learn to  program the Newton. This version is a two person game, i.e., you need two  humans to play it (unless you're schizophrenic.) The next version will  allow one person to play checkers against the Newton. It doesn't play too  well yet (it cheats terribly), so it's turned off until I can get it  working properly. What other games would you like to see? Eventually the  author would like this to be a package of games, something you can take on  a trip and toss in the back seat to quiet the kids, for example. Ideas are  welcome at any of the addresses in the documentation.
Skip 1.0.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Skip 1.0.sit       1.0              0      11K     11/22/93     Skip 1.0 - Introducing Skip 1.0, the complete version of the first truly  useful utility for the Newton MessagePad and ExpertPad. Skip is a Styles  shortcut. With Skip installed, the Styles palette is always one tap away,  yet Skip never gets in your way. Skip utilizes the unused space on the touchscreen which does not cover the active display. Tapping in the upper  left or right corners of your screen will activate Skip and bring forth the Styles palette. To use Skip, install the appropriate Skip package with your connection kit. If you want Skip to reside in the top left corner, install  SkipLeft.pkg. For the top right, install SkipRight.pkg.
Strainer 0.8.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Strainer 0.8.sit     0.8              0      15K     11/20/93     Strainer 0.8 - Strainer 0.8 is the latest release of the Strainer utility,  adding several new features. Strainer is designed to let you easily mark  and remove entries from your Newton's storage. This can help you to get  around a bug in the Datebook which makes it difficult to delete certain  entries, or to remove outdated entries in order to keep as much memory free as possible. New features in version 0.8 - You can now mark entries in  multiple soups and strain them all at once; now handles straining of items  on storage cards, if present; Strainer now has dialogs to ask you what you  want to do if you close the app before straining out the entries you have marked, and more.
Souper 1.1.sit           NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Souper 1.1.sit     1.1              0      33K     11/20/93     Souper 1.1 - As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton,  I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file ("Soup")  easily. I had to delete each record ("Entry") individually, so I started to write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I  began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have  grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability  to select the "Store" on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to  operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete an entire Soup, Clear all  entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions  Rename, Remove, and Clear operate as you would expect.
SmallTime 1.0.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:SmallTime 1.0.sit     1.0              0       8K     11/20/93     SmallTime 1.0 - SmallTime is a small app which lets you time events -  basically a tiny stop watch. It is as small as I thought I could make an  app and still have it be useful. I wanted something small to keep basic  time plus I wanted an exercise to learn the Newton programming environment. Known limitations - It doesn’t track hours but if someone asks I will add  it. If people are interested I’ll add features such as actual start time in time of day format and maybe even lap features.
NewtonBandit 1.0.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:NewtonBandit 1.0.sit     1.0              0      22K     11/20/93     NewtonBandit 1.0 - NewtonBandit is a Slot-Machine game for Newton PDA. When starting NewtonBandit you recieve  $100 StartScore. Your Bet can be  adjusted with the Slider. Then, depending on how many smilie faces you get, you may win some money!
Internals pkg and source.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:Internals pkg and source.sit                      0      11K     11/20/93     Internals pkg and source code - When first starting Newton development I  fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists  seemed pretty interesting, but the sample was a little too simple. So I  extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot  during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did some major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again yesterday,  and cut at least one third of the code and slots! I hereby give this code  away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far from), but  because it might give other novices some help.
Inker 1.1.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Inker 1.1.sit      1.1              0       7K     11/20/93     Inker 1.1 - Inker is a Newton App which lets you change the size of the  drawing ink quickly. When Inker is running, a small floating window pops up and you can position it anywhere you like it. To change the ink size just  click on size button and select 1-4. 1 is the smallest size and 4 the  largest. It is very useful when drawing. Inker 1.1 differs from 0.9b in  that the floating palette is smaller and more graphical. The main goal is to take up as little user space as possible.
Flash’s Typer 1.0.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Flash’s Typer 1.0.sit     1.0              0       5K     11/20/93     Flash’s Typer 1.0 - A tiny keyboard for the Newton which can type the date, a tab, a carriage return, or the delete key. Unlike the large built-in  keyboard, you can leave this one open all the time, since it doesn’t  disable double-tapping on a word to display the Newton’s other guesses for  that word.  Pressing the ? key gives a little bit of help, pressing the  xkey closes the keyboard.
CheckPlease! 1.1.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:CheckPlease! 1.1.sit     1.1              0      29K     11/20/93     CheckPlease! 1.1 - Here is a restaurant check calculator for the Newton. It is simple but effective (even tested in the field!). Source code (for NTK)  is included and shows examples of user prototypes for numerical input and  animated buttons. New to this version - The tax and tip rates are saved in  the system soup so they now survive a hard reset; The tax and tip rates are not removed from the soup if you remove the application; The check total  field is a little larger to make entry easier; Sanity checks are performed  on the various input fields to prevent the Newton from crashing on bad  numeric data. Extensively tested and free!
Beep Beep.sit            NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Beep Beep.sit                       0       9K     11/20/93     Beep Beep - This is a Newton demo of using sounds and picture resources directly found in the ROM. It is "FiggleWare" so if you think its cool,  drop the author a line at [e-mail] and let her know how it went.
Tiny Timer 1.0.sit       NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Tiny Timer 1.0.sit     1.0              0       6K     11/10/93     Tiny Timer 1.0 - Tne thing that really surprised me about the built-in  applications in the Newton MessagePad was that there was no timer to time  phone calls, meetings or the usual items that we like to keep track of. As  a result, I threw together this simple timer for all of us Newton  "Pioneers" to use. It is indeed tiny, taking up just a small amount of the  precious real estate in the built-in RAM. This is kinda cool. Even if your  Newton MessagePad goes to sleep to save on batteries, the timer will keep  running. When you turn the Newt back on, you'll be pleasantly surprised to  see the time still ticking away. The interface is as simple as possible.
Sleeper 1.0d3.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sleeper 1.0d3.sit     1.0d3            0       5K     11/10/93     Sleeper 10d3 - Sleeper basically puts your Newton to sleep on demand (No,  it doesn't work on children). The Sleeper view is a draggable view, so it  can be moved wherever you like. The standard PowerManager routines have  been added, so that you can quit after you hit the sleep button. This is  nice so you won't see Sleeper when you turn on your Newton. The author also added a dumb little icon (in his own words)., and reaadjusted the floater  window and buttons to look a little better.
Sign.sit                 NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Sign.sit                            0      38K     11/10/93     Sign - Sign is a Newton application that contains pictures for the american sign language finger alphabet. In its current incarnation, it is most  useful for reference. The author may add the ability to for the user to  write in words and have Newton sign them.
SciCalc 1.0b4.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:SciCalc 1.0b4.sit     1.0b4            0      15K     11/10/93     SciCalc 1.0b4 - SciCalc is a simple implementation of a standard (i.e. NOT  Reverse Polish or 'RPN') scientific calculator for the Apple Newton  MessagePad and similar PDAs. If you do find problems, please let the author know so that he can rectify them in the next release.
Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit     NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit     1.00             0       8K     11/10/93     Sam's Sleeper 1.00 - Sam's Sensable Sleeper, when turned on, detects  whether you are operating by plug or by battery. You may then set the sleep time on your Newton based on whether you are using the plug or the battery. Thus, if most of the time you use the plug (at your office where your plug  is, perhaps), you can set sleep to never. When you then carry it around off the plug, you can have the sleep be, say, 1 minute. This way, you don't  have to always dive through a zillion menus just to reset the sleep. You do it once with this package and the package will do it for you from then on  (if you turn it on).
RPMDemo1.sit             NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:RPMDemo1.sit       1                0      12K     11/10/93     RPMDemo1 - RPMDemo1 is a sample Newton program posted in source form as an  example for aspiring Newton programmers. It demonstrates techniques for the following - Show two floaters (protoFloatNGo views); Each floater allows  the user to input text by writing in a protoInputLine field inside the  floater. Each floater can be dragged by starting at any point in the  floater that is not inside the protoInputLine. When information in either  floater is changed, the main view updates its display. Specifically, the  text entered in the first floater is repeated N times, where N is  determined by a number entered in the second floater. Input fields use two  undocumented font styles (tsCondense and tsShadow). And More!

It's only function is to allow  you to reboot the Newton from the extras drawer. It puts up a simple dialog and beeps to warn that it will reboot the machine. If you close it, it  won't, and if you hit the reboot button it will do the deed.
PlaceSettings.sit        NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:PlaceSettings.sit                      0       8K     11/10/93     PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the  author lives in Seattle and his city isn’t in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he could choose Portland, but it just wasn’t right. Also, he prefers using the 24-hour time, and didn’t want to choose a French Canadian locale to get it. Place settings helps you tell the Newton where you really live (you'll have to know the lattitude and longitude or your local airport), and how you  like your time (12 hour or 24 hour). Complete instructions are included.
MyCalculator.sit         NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:MyCalculator.sit                      0      28K     11/10/93     MyCalculator - MyCalculator is intended as a relatively simple postfix (i.e. reverse-polish notation or RPN) calculator for the Newton MessagePad. MyCalculator has not been thoroughly tested. Use it at your own risk. If  you are calculating something important, double-check your results with  some other variety of calculation. Numbers are restricted to six digits  after the decimal point, mostly so that they'll fit on the screen. The use  of the number and operator keys should be pretty obvious since all of the  stack is visible on the screen. Includes full documentation.

If you are having troubles in your life and just don't know  where to turn, ask Mr. Advisador and he will gladly offer advice. Changes  since 1.4.1 - Fixed spelling errors. Changes since 1.4 - Fixed broken  install script, which made Mr. A not work at all. Other fixes - Mr.  Advisador can now be installed on a RAM card and not complain when the card is removed. Although, you must turn off the random appearance option  to remove the card; Mr. A will no longer forget your preferred option  settings if the Newton is reset. Shareware, enjoy.

Simply enter the number at the bottom and tap "Guess". Spaces and periods are ignored. Your guess will then appear in the guesses list followed by two numbers. The first number is how many digits  were correct and in the correct location. The second number is how many  digits were correct and in the wrong location. If you get frustrated, you  can tap "Show" to see the number. "New" generates a new random number (Hint - the number will be between 1000 and 9999). You can use the up and down  arrow at the bottom to scroll the guesses list.

Boppin.sit               NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Boppin.sit                          0      11K     11/10/93     Boppin - Boppin' is just a simple app that I threw together over the course of the past week (less than 20 hrs all together). BEWARE - If you get to  caught up in the game, you can ruin your screen by tapping too hard. So, be careful. The program when being played uses the idle script. This will  cause extra use of your batteries. Once your game is over the idle scripts  are cleared so that it stops sucking your battery dry. It does not go  extremely fast, but it is noticable. Please email me for suggestions or  just to let me know you got it (I want to see how far it goes).
Bomber (2).sit           NewtonDL         AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Bomber (2).sit     2                0      13K     11/10/93     Bomber (2) - Welcome to Bomber -- a tiny program of questionable taste. It  presents three radio buttons, an editable text field, and a push button.  The buttons are labeled "Moscow", "Washington DC", and "Other" where you  can write in anything you want to. When you push the button, a floating  window pops up saying that the indicated city won't bother you any more.  Why on Earth would an ordinarily compassionate and sane person write  something like this. Over the last 12 years, the first program the author  has written for many computer systems and programming environments has been Bomber -- a childhood weirdism gone horribly wrong.

Or have you managed to transfer your  contacts from your company database into your Newton Connection Software?  And then you wanted to call or fax somone and Newton didn't recognize the  name correctly? So you had to add it to your word list (i.e. user  dictionary) manually?!?! Never again! AutoDict “automagically” scans your  Names ‘soup’ for new entries and adds the corresponding names (Company,  First, Last,..) to your word list. So the next time after you download new  addresses from your Mac just go to the Extras drawer, tap AutoDict and tap  the “Add Names to Dictionary” button. Then Newton will recognize them!
