Name = MultiNames.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:MultiNames.sit Size: 15K Date: 6/10/95 Description: MultiNames - Loading too many names into addresses really slows you down! I discovered a hack that lets you make the Names application open other files. So now I can have more than one telephone file on the Newton--like my old Sharp organizer that had three separate telephone files. MultiNames lets you perform the same magic. There are two parts. MultiNames itself is a autopart that changes the effect of tapping on the Names button. If there are other contact files installed, a list of all contact files pops up, and selecting one opens it in the Names application. Names Utility lets you create or remove the other contact files and provides some options for filling them. Name = AussieLocale 3.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:AussieLocale 3.0.sit Size: 12K Date: 6/10/95 Description: AussieLocale 3.0 - Well for us fussy Aussies, here is a little correction for the Newton. Australia hasn't used miles to measure distance since about the time I was born, yet the Newton's Locales settings thinks we do. (Set to Australia and look at TimeZones) AussieLocale sets things right. If you are set to Australia it will set you to a new Locale setting, Aussie. On the way out it will go back to Australia. If there is anything else you want let me know. You can have 1st, 2nd, xth etc. for short dates; British or US keyboards and more. Let me know how you want it. Freeware. Name = Personal Media Demo 1.1b.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Commercial Demo:Personal Media Demo 1.1b.sit Size:162K Date: 6/09/95 Description: Personal Media 1.1b Demo - Personal Media transforms the Newton into a powerful tool for the capture, organization and communication of information. It provides paged notepads for capturing handwritten notes and workspaces for organizing projects, clients or other tasks. There are text documents for capturing text notes and e-mails. Notes can be e-mailed, faxed or printed by a simple drag and drop interface. All this and more adds up to more productivity for you and your Newton. 30 day free trial. This is a full working version of Personal Media 1.1. You have 30 days to try it out once installed on your Newton. You will be warned 5 days in advance of the timeout. This demo expires January 13, Name = DateReminder 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:DateReminder 1.1.sit Size: 22K Date: 6/08/95 Description: DateReminder 1.1 - I wrote DateReminder because I wanted a way to keep track of birthdays without needing to enter a name card for each birthday (I only need one address card for a family, but may want to remember 4 birthdays and an anniversary). I also did not want to enter repeating meetings to remember the dates from year to year. Dates can be entered and viewed a month at a time, or for a full year. DateReminder supports the Newton Connection Kit. Added an option to remove the DateReminder soup and remove system entry to prepare to de-install DateReminder. (Also made the icon smaller in response to a suggestion - it WAS too big.) Name = Don't Ask 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Don't Ask 1.0.sit Size: 8K Date: 6/08/95 Description: Don't Ask 1.0 - Don't Ask (Don't Tell) is a simple, tiny app (autopart) that adds a button (at lower left) in the standard keyboard so that you can turn off/on the Do you want to add... prompt, which you may find annoying or sometimes desirable... When dot is hollow (default), words pass through to the dictionary prompt. When dot is solid, the dictionary prompt does not appear (it's blocked/overridden). This Newt source file (dontask.nwt) and the associated Newt-generated package (DontAsk.pkg) are shareware ($5). Name = RCU 1.2 Online.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Commercial Demo:RCU 1.2 Online.sit Size:291K Date: 6/08/95 Description: RCU 1.2 Online - It is an alternative to Apple's Newton Connection Kit (NCK), and permits you to have a real time connection to the basic features of your Newton. It works with any Newton MessagePad. This program lets you link your Macintosh to the Newton and type in your Notes, Names, Dates, Calendar Day Notes, and To Do items. You can also delete or modify any of them as well. Furthermore, you can import tab-delimited text files (i.e. spreadsheet) into Notes, Names, and Dates, or export existing Notes, Names, and Dates from your Newton as well. It's a no-brainer. The RCU Help file takes you through step-by-step. Unregistered version is limited to viewing the first 2 Notes, 2 Names, 2 Dates, and 2 To Do items. Also,...

It makes a moderately intelligent attempt to figure out names and companies and phone numbers and creates a slurpee file that usually does a pretty good job. To use ParseTDF you need to start with a text file in which each contact entry is separated by a carriage return. Each contact entry is broken down into lines either by tabs or by newline characters. The first line must be the name of a person or a company. ParseTDF first looks at an entry to try to figure out whether the first line is a person or an entity.

When you open it, a menu pops up. Selecting an item types it and opens the menu again. Tapping anywhere else closes it. I wrote Numberkeys because I love Grafitti but I hate using it to enter numbers. I needed a quick and convenient way to enter numbers correctly. Several of the menu entries need explanation. The blank at the top of the menu is really the delete key. The second is the space key. The blank which is the penultimate entry is the right arrow key. The square at the bottom is the left arrow. Numberkeys needs a direct access method to be useful.

Great armies once the envy of the Flanaess wander the lands as freebooting mercenaries and pillagers, stripping the once-abundant treasures of this great nation... Name = Sieve 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Sieve 1.0.sit Size: 11K Date: 5/23/95 Description: Sieve 1.0 - Sieve is a simple app that lets you run the standard sieve benchmark which calculates a fixed number of prime numbers. My original OMP ran the benchmark in about 143 seconds. My MP 100 runs it in about 65 seconds! Sieve was developed ON my Newton (not on a Macintosh or Windows pc) using Steve Weyer's amazingly wonderful Newt 3.0 developement platform. Newt 3.0 allows you to develop complete NewtonScript applications that produce true Newton packages on your MessagePad. The actual package was then extracted by synchronizing my Newton using the Apple NCK and then pulling the package from it via the shareware ExtractPackages 1.1. Sieve is a Standalone package.

Calendar Marker does just that! Every time you open the Dates application, it swiftly checks for any and all day notes and meetings in the current month. It also does this check when you change or make a new appointment, or select a new day to view. It then draws a box around any day with a day note, and places a small line to the left of any day with a meeting. A line is drawn near the top of a day for a morning meeting, while a line drawn near the bottom means an afternoon meeting. Shareware, $10.

To use EP; start it and open a backup (card or internal memory) in your NCK folder. EP will scan the backup and present you a file selector for every package it found. You may save the packages where you want. The filename may help you to identify a package - it's the internal name of the package. Requires a Macintosh for use.

Reflecting something of Bronte's own unhappy youth, the novel recounts Jane Eyre's love for her enigmatic, rather Byronic employer, Edward Rochester.

UKNewt has been formed due to a feeling amongst a number of UK Newton owners that we needed an independent voice aside from Apple's official Assist User Group. Quite often it seems that we in the UK lack well behind our Stateside and German counterparts in obtaining new Newton technology. It was also felt that there was a lack of information in the UK for Newton owners especially those without any form of information service access. This has become more significant with the recent increase in Newton ownership due to the sell-off of original MessagePads at very low prices.

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. 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!

This app is in landscape mode. Caveats - State Capitals may not work well on a screen set to lower contrast. It's hard to tap on a small state. The icon in the extras drawer is a little too tall. Some irregularly shaped states can't be tapped everywhere, such as the Texas panhandle. Alaska and Hawaii do not have a map outlines, just buttons. My apologies to the 49th and 50th states.

Name = CapitalizationPunishment1.2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:CapitalizationPunishment1.2.sit Size: 5K Date:12/27/94 Description: Capitalization Punishment 1.2 - CapitalizationPunishment is a handy utility that adds functionality to the Newton's built-in keyboard. When prompted to add a word, you will now have options to add the word as is, as all lower case, with an initial cap, or all uppercase. This can be handy if you, like me, tend to capitalize words in lists that you don't want added to the dictionary as a capitalized word. This is important because when a word is added as capitalized, any time the recognizer chooses that word, it will recognize it as capitalized even if you didn't intend on doing so. Version 1.1 now optionally strips 's from the word if it was tapped out this way. The Newton takes care of a single apostrophe by itself. Version 1.2...

Just choose a predefined name from the popup labels, or write in your own, and tap the Set... button. There's no grip o' death, so you can eject the card and insert another one if you have multiple cards you want to name. Try it for 10 days and then pay for it or erase it. Why name the stores? Because you can. Also, it's a welcome change from the Card 1, Card 2, and the other boringly generic names that NCK creates when you synchronize. Names make it easier to determine which archive is which, and makes it imposible for NCK to switch the names on you (as it can with the Card # names).

I took on this project because I wasn't using the built-in password feature because it was too cumbersome. I would turn off my newton just to remember one more thing and need to turn it back on again and enter my password. With TimeLock I can set a delay so if I need to turn my newton right back on again I can without having to re-enter my password. There are 2 versions. One version (TimeLockPS.pkg) will install in the password slip and the other version (TimeLockSB.pkg) installs into the NotePad's statusbar button.

His original source provided a few main methods. This Newt version is an expanded version - adds a Clear and Next button, adds a generation counter, adds a Repeat button -- which invokes Next in the background until you tap Stop (or all cells are empty), adds an Info button and help book, skips empty rows where possible to optimize drawing and generating.

Sometimes this is great. Sometimes it's a pain. DumbKbd opens the normal Newton alphanumeric keyboard with a temporary lobatomy to prevent it asking about each unrecognized word. Closing the keyboard restores it to normal. Dumbkbd will work from the extras drawer but a more direct access method makes it more useful. Roll Your Own II, a freeware application by the same author, is one way to create a status bar button or a part of a preprinted button to run DumbKbd. I personally use RYO to attach DumbKbd to the word Undo, which seems to make sense to me somehow. Dumbkbd is freeware,...

X-Master is relatively small (roughly 14K after installation) 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. Name = User Picker 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:User Picker 1.1.sit Size: 11K Date:10/25/94 Description: User Picker 1.1 - Did you ever want to share your Newton with a friend or coworker, but couldn't 'cause the recognition would get all screwed up? Well, the solution is here! With user picker, you can create as many different user profiles on your Newton as you like. Each profile has all recognition data (so that the Newt only learns the handwriting of the current person, and keeps what it's learned separate). It also contains all personal information (name, address, mail account and password, etc...) and your folders, so that two different people can organize themselves in different ways. You can add new users, change betweeen current users, and delete old ones using the picker in the Personal Name = TidBITS#249.pkg.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:News:TidBITS-Books:226-250:TidBITS#249.pkg.sit Size: 22K Date:10/25/94 Description: TidBITS#249/24-Oct-94 - Chuck Bartosch returns with more about the Power Mac versus the Pentium; we announce the second edition of Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh; and we take a quick look at a project to provide free Internet access to citizens in Italy.

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.

It enables you to keep track of a multitude of wines on the basis of winery, vintage, type, price, rank and tasting notes. The database WineList uses is import/export compatible with Newton Connection Kit 2.0 which means you can up/down load wine data to/from your favorite desktop database application as long as it supports tab delimited text data interchange. I have included an extensive wine database provided to me by a friend who happens to be a fellow Wine lover and connoisseur. In fact, his FileMaker Pro Wine database was the inspiration behind WineList.

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. New - Changed sys 7 pro to sys 7.5 and other minor changes.

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. This program has been tested on...

Currently, to change the volume, sound effects and sleep time, you need to go through a somewhat cumbersome interaction with the Prefs application. With RoadShow, it becomes easier to switch from being at home and being on the road. With RoadShow, you can configure your Newton's - sounds effects, volume, sleep time and system alarm sound for the two locations, and switch very simply between them. Requires 1.05 or later version of the Newton operating system. Name = App Mem 2.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:App Mem 2.1.sit Size: 18K Date:10/09/94 Description: App Mem 2.1 - App Memory is a shareware program for disposing of unused memory that applications leave behind and thus eating up memory. If you ever get the There is not enough memory - Cancel or Reboot message (who has not !), then this program is for you. Why does this happen? Because programs don't free up all the memory they use when they quit. Even the built in apps don't. So, every time you run a different program, some memory gets left behind. Soon, not enough memory is available for program data. Then that message pops up and, if you reboot, you have to reset the Names, Notes and other apps to show what you want. Some applications may malfunction or ask for a registration number again.

This button contains a graphic that looks like a tiny telephone. When this button is clicked, it opens a pop-up menu of the people that you have entered into your call list. Presumably, these are the people that you want to call the most, although they may not be. Tapping on someone's name brings up a call slip with the person's phone number. This is exactly what you would get if you wrote call (so-and-so), highlighted it, and tapped assist. The QuickCall pop-up menu also contains an option to edit the list of people, and to bring up a blank call slip for someone not on the list. Still no card removal -...

If you don't have SleepSoundPro currently installed on your Newton, STOP NOW. It's useless to install these without SleepSoundPro (SSP). A ReadMe file for SleepSoundPro is included with this file if you'd like more info. On a Newton with SleepSoundPro already installed, simply install the desired sound. There are four sound files included in this package. They're the startup beeps from 4 major Macintosh models; the 128, II, Quadra and Power Macintosh. Once installed, select the desired sound from the SleepSoundPro Formula panel. You can use any sound for either sleep or wakeup. Shareware.

It has NOT been rigorously tested, so be warned. Don't worry, though, it's pretty benign. It does two things - All incoming stuff (mail and beams) is stored in the default store, rather than the internal RAM. The default store can be set by checking the Store new items on card checkbox in the card slip. The In Box, Out Box, Connection slip and Card slip are now all draggable.

This PKG file contains a list of Computer Vendors and their Phone Numbers. Being a computer reseller and never parting with my Newton, I found this to be a great way to call up Vendors for info at client sites or just on the road. I hope you find it invaluable too. If you find any of these numbers to be invalid, disconnected, changed or you have a new vendor to add, please contact me the author at MWorks@aol.com.

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 biorhythm after you input your name, birthdate and date to calculate.

Paperback doesn't (currently) support multiple imbedded fonts or graphics or any non-text files. I may well improve Paperback to support multiple fonts in the future, but that depends on the amount of my spare time. Paperback does not create real Newton books like those created with Apple's BookMaker application.

Usually when you read a book, your place and any book marks you may have made get lost when you reset your newt...an all too common occurence. The Librarian fixes this problem by storing all that data in the system soup and restoring it on restart. In addition, some people have expressed a desire to read a book using only one hand. This is (rather clumsily, I'll admit) implemented by using the power switch. When a book is opened, the power switch acts as a page down button. Unfortunately, this means that you can't turn off the Newt without closing the book. If you don't like this feature, install the Librarian Min version.

Load onto INTERNAL storage NOT a storage card. Moving and copying programs requires sufficient free storage space in the INTERNAL storage and on the storage card. The practical limitations are packages up to 80-90k on MP100s and 2-300k on MP110s. If you have a very full MessagePad or storage card, this will reduce the size of the program you can move or copy. Runs on the Newton MessagePad 100 and 110, does not run on the MessagePad Classic. MagicApp is not guaranteed to run on future Newton MessagePad...

It is much less Newton-ish than Dyno Notepad but also much faster, safer and import-friendly. Outline looks like a separate application, but it really isn't. Outline is really a way of viewing and editing a Note from the Notepad. It is important to understand that every Note can be viewed as an outline and every outline is itself a Note. You will need to use the Notepad to fax, beam, mail, delete or duplicate an Outline, or to add formatting or pictures or to import or export an outline. Comes with a manual to load onto your Newton.

The VCR codes control a Sony Beta VCR from the reports I have received. Most codes from the CD player, Tape Deck, Television, Amplifier and Tuner work, I think the shift is non-functional on the tuner. I have left it in just in case it works on someone's tuner. The volume control also appears to behave very slowly (at least for me) on the tuner. It should remember the position on the screen and the last used remote between uses.

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 use it with 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! Now it's programmable!

A while back I put out a newton book that listed all the errors in the newton, as documented by the beta version of the Newton Toolkit. Since the new version has come out (with a whole bunch of new errors,) I haven't had a chance to update the book. I decided rather than updating it, I would redo it's interface. Now, whenever an error occurs, the notification box that comes up will tell you the type of error at the top of the box, and a somewhat more in depth description below.

One of the many strong points of Napkin Calc is that you can have more than one sheet on your screen at a time. It is also fairly easy to use.

Ruler is a little utility that displays two crosshairs on the Newton screen. Their position, and the distance between them, is displayed on a floating palette. You can position the crosshairs by dragging them with the pen. That's pretty much all it does, but it does it well.

Name = UpperButtons 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:UpperButtons 1.0.sit Size: 15K Date: 7/20/94 Description: UpperButtons 1.0 - This is an app similar in concept to Jesse Devine's StatusBar Buttons (a must have in itself) with a few twists added. First off, due to the fact the status bar is getting pretty crowded, there's not a whole lot of room for new buttons, so I placed them in the folder bar at the top of the note pad. This also means they're smaller, and more can be placed up there (subject to the constraints of the current folder label.). The other major difference is that the buttons are configurable, using the separate app UBConfig. You can add or remove buttons, and change the content and icons of those you've created.

Guester is a small application for your Newton to give you an easy-to-get-at way to flip your Newton in and out of Guest mode. Inspired after an evening of explaining my Newton to my parents, it's a little floating button you can drag down next to the recognizer buttons in the notepad, and use or look at it when you need to. Provides an icon which shows you at a glance whether or not you're in guest mode.

The simplest thing to do is to run DBPanel and then run the app under test. As long as that app isn't based on a floating view, the floater should remain accessible. The floater can be moved by dragging so as to avoid obscuring the interesting parts of the app underneath. I wrote DBPanel after seeing a similar app that saved one from having to find a pause in the inspector output. I took the idea a little farther, adding the breakOnThrows and printDepth globals and a viewIdleScript that keeps the checkboxes in sync if you do change the values by typing in the...

Name = Lunar Lander 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Lunar Lander 1.0.sit Size: 12K Date: 6/20/94 Description: Lunar Lander 1.0 - This is a great arcade game where you try to land on the moon. 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! Name = Bookcase.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Bookcase.sit Size: 5K Date: 6/20/94 Description: 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. Name = NewtonUnlock 2.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:NewtonUnlock 2.1.sit Size: 10K Date: 6/16/94 Description: NewtonUnlock 2.1 - NewtonUnlock is a small (9k) utility which allows you to bypass the password protection on a Newton. 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. Name = OpenTime 3.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:OpenTime 3.sit Size: 8K Date: 6/16/94 Description: OpenTime 3 - This simply little utility, when installed, will cause the Dates application to automatically open to the current hour. To deinstall it, simply remove the package from your newton. Note - No icon will appear in the extras drawer after you install this utility! You will, however, still see the name OpenTime-ALLAN when you use Remove Software (or RemoveIt!). This way you can remove the package if you don't like it. This version no longer contains the Grip of Death and is card friendly! Dates now open to current time minus 2 hours (to see if you missed anything)!

Press Release.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:News:Press Releases:R.U.N. Press Release.sit Size: 4K Date: 6/15/94 Description: R.U.N. Press Release - Collection of Five Software Utilities Introduced for the Newton MessagePad. The portable technology that inspired beaming, tapping and handwritten input has now brought powerful new software to PDA faithfuls. A collection of utilities named Rahmel Utilities for Newton or R.U.N., fills many gaps in the use of Newtons for day to day activities. Introduced by Coherent Visual, the Newton software company, R.U.N. allows Newton users to create organization charts, set up flash card data for information review, track daily expenses, automate shopping lists, and automatically inserts birthday reminders into your calendar.

Name = CopyMachine 1.0.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:CopyMachine 1.0.1.sit Size: 10K Date: 6/15/94 Description: CopyMachine 1.01 - 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... Name = Nchess.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Nchess.sit Size: 56K Date: 6/14/94 Description: Nchess - NChess is designed to be a chess player's assistant. 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 Name = HowFar 0.b9.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:HowFar 0.b9.sit Size: 20K Date: 6/11/94 Description: HowFar 0.b9 - How Far? is the first version of a set of PDA tools for pilots and frequent travelers. How Far? sets the user location as the origin and queries for a destination. Only a part of the city name or airport idendifier needs to be entered. Given two valid locations, the program calculates the distance (Great Circle distance) and initial heading between the two locations. The program displays an approximate course line on the map. Currently, the program includes 65 locations (generally major cities). Great Circle distances may not be accurate for very short trips. Name = Ope 2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Ope 2.sit Size: 10K Date: 6/10/94 Description: Ope 2 - Ope creates a floating button which pops up a list of the application packages. Selecting one opens it. This is generally much faster than the Extras drawer. Ope creates its list when opened. If you add or remove an application, Ope will not know. You have to close Ope and reopen it to have it notice the change. Version 2 adds the ability to specify built-ins to be included in the popup menu and to specify applications to be excluded. Name = Expensor.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Finance & Accounting:Expensor.sit Size: 18K Date: 6/10/94 Description: Expensor - Expensor is the easiest to use Newton expense tracker. Has two reports by category or by client. Includes lookups for both categories and clients that you have entered on expense slips. Printing and faxing are support with beaming and mailing to come. This version is limited. You can only enter four expense items. I figure that is enough to get a feel for it and print some report samples and yet not be able to really use it for an extended period of time. Try it before you buy it! Shareware.

It allows the user to enter the number of hours worked on a given day for a particular client (or project or whatever), the number of miles (or kilometers) driven, the amount of any expenses, and so forth. These entries can be viewed individually or in a scrolling list. A totals display shows totals of hours worked and expenses incurred by month broken down by client and distance driven by month broken down by vehicle.

Name = MailFix 0.41d8.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:MailFix 0.41d8.sit Size: 5K Date: 6/03/94 Description: MailFix 0.41d8 - Fixes two deliberate NewtonMail bugs - It makes NewtonMails views non-floating, so that the clipboard and things like Erica Saduns Figgles keyboard are no longer disabled, and sets (after a delay) the font and size to your default. Use with caution. Sometimes works only partially in Dates. There are two other design errors I couldnt fix - Undo isnt 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 MailFixs working only partially in Dates can be particularly annoying. Version 0.40d1 now works with NewtonMail 1.2b. This is a beta.

Name = BookMaking.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:BookMaking.sit Size: 45K Date: 5/29/94 Description: BookMaking - Bookmaking without Bookmaker - A guide to creating bookmaker source files without access to Bookmaker and the Newton Toolkit. Many Newton owners have expressed an interest in the process by which electronic books are created and how they can do this.

Name = Icon Editor 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:Icon Editor 1.1.sit Size: 11K Date: 5/23/94 Description: 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.)

Name = Paddle 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Paddle 1.0.sit Size: 15K Date: 5/12/94 Description: Paddle 1.0 - Paddle is a breakout game for the Newton. Click where you want the paddle to go (no, you can't just click on the paddle to move it!). Part of the fun is racing to get the paddle to the right place in time! Play can be tricky, as the paddle is always moving!

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. Name = NewtRTFM 1.0 Demo.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Commercial Demo:NewtRTFM 1.0 Demo.sit Size:296K Date: 5/12/94 Description: 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).

Name = Books Off 2.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Books Off 2.0.sit Size: 7K Date: 5/12/94 Description: 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. Name = PDAPackageDownloader1.5.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:PDAPackageDownloader1.5.sit Size: 66K Date: 5/09/94 Description: 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! Name = BetMaster 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:BetMaster 1.0.sit Size: 14K Date: 5/08/94 Description: 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. Name = Motile Demo.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Commercial Demo:Motile Demo.sit Size:152K Date: 5/08/94 Description: 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!! Name = Memfree 0.91.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Memfree 0.91.sit Size: 11K Date: 5/08/94 Description: 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. Name = Newton Phone List.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:Newton Phone List.sit Size: 6K Date: 5/08/94 Description: 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. Name = Llama Dos 1.12.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:Llama Dos 1.12.sit Size: 30K Date: 5/07/94 Description: 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 worlds 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 PCs.

Name = Signature.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Signature.sit Size: 8K Date: 4/28/94 Description: 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. Name = Memory 1 and 2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Memory 1 and 2.sit Size: 8K Date: 4/28/94 Description: 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. Name = Rebate.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Rebate.sit Size: 4K Date: 4/28/94 Description: 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.

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. Name = Clockwise 2.3 Alarm.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:Clockwise 2.3 Alarm.sit Size: 38K Date: 4/27/94 Description: Clockwise 2.3 Alarm - Clockwise is an alarm clock for the Newton. It is sleep aware which means that your Newton will wake up automatically and start Clockwise if the time has come. Use the clock or the entryline under Alarm to specify the wake up time. To turn the alarm on or off, press the alarm button. If the alarm goes off and you don't feel like getting up, press the snooze button for another 9 minutes of sleep. Choose from a variety of sounds.

Name = Forest PegBoard 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Forest PegBoard 1.0.sit Size: 31K Date: 4/26/94 Description: Forest PegBoard 1.0 - Forest PegBoard 1.0 is the traditional peg-jumping solitaire game with a few enhancements. 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. Name = OnSet 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:OnSet 1.0.sit Size: 43K Date: 4/26/94 Description: 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.

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.

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.

Name = Discount 1.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:Discount 1.01.sit Size: 7K Date: 4/21/94 Description: Discount 1.01 - This is a very simple discount calculator. 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.

Name = Netlook 1.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:Netlook 1.01.sit Size: 14K Date: 3/28/94 Description: Netlook 1.01 - Netlook lets you build a soup of NBP entities you can get the Newton Mini-Chooser to search for. 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.

It allows the pilot to calculate ground speed and true heading without the use of the E6-B flight computer. Mind you, this is only an initial release and I hope there is more to come. This release only touches on the potential of the Newton and its possible aid to pilots. I would be interested it talking to anyone who is directly involved with the aviation industry or who knows someone that is interested in developing a fully featured product for commercial distribution. Pass this message on to your aviation marketing buddy.

The demo version is fully functional but it can only take up three entries per list. The first time you run it, it takes a few minutes to initialize itself. This demo contains 10 sample lists which show off Notion's diversity. The full application contains templates for over 100 different types of lists (and you can modify them). Lists in demo - plain list, babysitters, calls to make, CD collections, credit card charges flight itinerary, groceries, StarCore catalog, things to get, to do list.

But there are a few features and some cautions that are not obvious. Accountable Ltd. is, guess what, limited. This freeware, demonstration version is limited to five accounts. Each of those accounts are limited to twenty transactions. If you decide to move up to Accountable, the data you create in Ltd. can be used in it. Accountable responds to many words and phrases via Assist Accountable only adds the verb Pay to the Assist menu, but it will also respond to - Charge, Deposit, Withdraw, Fly, and variations. Try it.

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.

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.

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.

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. Name = Make NB4.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Make NB4.sit Size: 11K Date: 3/16/94 Description: 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. Name = Make NB3.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Make NB3.sit Size: 18K Date: 3/16/94 Description: 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!

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...

Name = HeapIt 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:HeapIt 1.0.sit Size: 11K Date: 3/13/94 Description: 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... Name = SoupAway 0.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SoupAway 0.01.sit Size: 11K Date: 3/12/94 Description: SoupAway 0.01 - The purpose of this application is to allow the user to purge his/her MessagePad of left over soups from no-longer resident applications. Back up first. If you use this application, you could lose data. If you lose data, and you don't have a backup, you no-longer have that data. When used correctly, it will help free up precious memory on your Newton! Name = SiliconCasinoDemo.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Commercial Demo:SiliconCasinoDemo.sit Size: 71K Date: 3/07/94 Description: Silicon Casino Demo - This demo contains a working version of BlackJack and screen shots of the other four games included in Silicon Casino. Once launched, you will come to a screen which shows a miniature casino illustrating the five games. You choose which game you want to play by tapping on the picture of the appropriate game. For example, to play BlackJack you would tap on the BlackJack table at the bottom right of the screen. Tapping on any game other than BlackJack would bring up a screen shot of that particular game. Of course the real version has complete working versions of Video Poker, Slot Machines, Baccarat, Craps and BlackJack.

Name = Button 0.9b1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Button 0.9b1.sit Size: 8K Date: 2/24/94 Description: Button - The Button is a program that gives you complete life-or-death control over your newton's little world. 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. Name = Safe Guard 1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Safe Guard 1.sit Size: 11K Date: 2/24/94 Description: Safe Guard 1 - Safe Guard is a utility that allows you to password protect your PCMCIA cards. 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. Name = GST Calc NZ.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:GST Calc NZ.sit Size: 6K Date: 2/23/94 Description: GST Calc NZ - Welcome to GSTcalc, the most popular Canadian GST calculator for the Newton MessagePad. Actually, this is a version for New Zealand. Heres an undocumented feature - you can drag GSTcalc by its title! GSTcalc calculates on rounded numbers, which is the right way to calculate taxes (if you dont do this, you will end up with a 1 cent difference.). Contact the author if you want him to produce a GST calculator for your area! Name = NumChart 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:NumChart 1.0.sit Size: 9K Date: 2/21/94 Description: NumChart 1.0 - This program will use the characters in the person's full name and birth Month, Day and Year to calculate various aspects of the person's numerological chart. You'll get a number assignment for - foundation of life, libido yearning, what's expressed, road to be taken, covering influence, wants and desires, life role played, and goal to be reached. A brief meaning is given for each number assigned. Based on interpretations from Numerology, Key to the Tarot. Name = Brain 2.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Brain 2.0.sit Size: 11K Date: 2/09/94 Description: Brain 2.0 - Battery Brain for Newtons monitors your battery level and can alert you if the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold. 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! Name = TapStyles 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:TapStyles 1.0.sit Size: 4K Date: 2/08/94 Description: TapStyles 1.0 - TapStyles is a simple little applet that, when activated, places a small dot in the upper right area of the Newton screen that allows quick access to the styles palette. 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.

Name = IceBox1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:IceBox1.0.sit Size: 11K Date: 2/03/94 Description: 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... Name = Graphing101a4.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:Graphing101a4.sit Size: 16K Date: 2/03/94 Description: 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.

Pick a game, and then watch it. Click move, and watch the chess moves, and notes. You can learn alot! Name = BSaver 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:BSaver 1.0.sit Size: 10K Date: 2/03/94 Description: 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. Name = StatusBar Buttons 2.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:StatusBar Buttons 2.0.sit Size: 14K Date: 1/27/94 Description: 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.

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. Name = Call of the Wild.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Call of the Wild.sit Size:117K Date: 1/18/94 Description: Call of the Wild - The Call of the Wild is a great adventure tale of the Alaskan Tundra by the great author Jack London. Its a large file, but a great read. Its worth the download time. Takes up about 210K once installed. Newton version created by Ken Laster. This document is published in this form for reasons of enjoyment and convenience only. There has been little effort to ensure the completeness or accuracy of the text contained within, or the quality or applicability of the software presenting it.

Name = Mail Numbers 1.0demo.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:Mail Numbers 1.0demo.sit Size: 29K Date: 1/06/94 Description: Mail Numbers 1.0demo - With a NewtonMail account, a Newton, a modem, and a phone line you can stay in touch no matter where you go. 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... Name = ErrorBook.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Resources:ErrorBook.sit Size: 6K Date:12/29/93 Description: ErrorBook - This is just a simple Newton Book Reader book that lists all the errors and exceptions on the Newton, as taken from the Newton Toolkit Manual, Newton Programmer's Guide.

Now that you know what the error means, what are you going to do?? Takes up 13k once installed. Name = Incoming0.99b.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Incoming0.99b.sit Size: 28K Date:12/26/93 Description: Incoming! 0.99b - Incoming! was created as a design and programming test on the Newton. 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! Name = Ahorcados.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Ahorcados.sit Size: 9K Date:12/22/93 Description: 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...). Make 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. Name = ShapesRus 0.95.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:ShapesRus 0.95.sit Size: 14K Date:12/21/93 Description: 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. Name = Password.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Password.sit Size: 6K Date:12/12/93 Description: Password - Password is a small utility for quickly turning on an off password protection on the Newton. 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. Name = Danglin 0.9.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Danglin 0.9.sit Size: 14K Date:12/11/93 Description: Danglin 0.9 - Dangling Participle - Here's a great Hangman game for the Newton. 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. Name = Pour.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:Pour.sit Size: 19K Date:12/11/93 Description: Pour - Pour is a little utility that will allow you to choose any soup from the available stores on your Newt (or an onion er union soup if you have a card) and will pour it down the serial port at 9600-8-N-1. 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! Name = MortCalc 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Finance & Accounting:MortCalc 1.0.sit Size: 17K Date:12/09/93 Description: 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. Name = KillFind 0.4.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:KillFind 0.4.sit Size: 7K Date:12/05/93 Description: KillFind 0.4 - Well, I don't know about you, but I really hate it when the Newton goes wandering around in World looking for stuff. 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!! Name = RPN Calc 0.91.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:RPN Calc 0.91.sit Size: 11K Date:12/02/93 Description: 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.). Name = Scrambled 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Scrambled 1.0.sit Size: 16K Date:12/01/93 Description: 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. Name = BarKeeper 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:BarKeeper 1.0.sit Size: 53K Date:11/30/93 Description: BarKeeper 1.0 - BarKeeper is a list of drinks collected from various places over the years. If anybody sees one of there creations in the list I would like to thank you. Not all drinks have been tested by me and therefore I cannot be responsible for anything. To select a drink from the lists just tap on it and you will go to the page with that drink on it. Scrolling and the browser works as well as doing a find. For those bartenders who have a Newton! Name = TapBoard.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:TapBoard.sit Size: 14K Date:11/29/93 Description: TapBoard - This program includes three games for the Newton - Tic tac toe, Gomoku (try to get five in a row) and Reversi. Just load it, and play away. If you don't know how to play these games, instructions for each are inclu ded. Name = Checkers 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Checkers 1.1.sit Size: 12K Date:11/23/93 Description: 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. Name = Skip 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Skip 1.0.sit Size: 11K Date:11/22/93 Description: 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. Name = Beep Beep.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Beep Beep.sit Size: 9K Date:11/17/93 Description: 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 erica@cc.gatech.edu and let her know how it went. Name = Inker 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Inker 1.1.sit Size: 7K Date:11/16/93 Description: 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. Name = Medicalc 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:HealthCare:Medicalc 1.0.sit Size: 41K Date:11/15/93 Description: Medicalc 1.0 - Medicalc is a Newton program for Doctors. Medicalc calculates values pertinent to patient care using recognized algorithms. It can save you time in the hospital and help you to rationalize the purchase of the your Newton MessagePad. Features - Chem-7 analysis which calculates osmolality, anion gap, estimated creatinine clearance and, in hypernatremic patients, free water deficit. BSA - Calculates body surface area. ANC - Calculates Absolute Neutrophil Count. PedsRx and STAT Rx - Accesses two user configurable drug references. IV Calc and more. All calculations that it performs should be double checked using a recognized medical reference. Wouldn't it be cool if all the doctors used... Name = Internals pkg and source.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:Internals pkg and source.sit Size: 11K Date:11/15/93 Description: 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. Name = Flash's Typer 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Flash's Typer 1.0.sit Size: 5K Date:11/15/93 Description: Flashs 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 doesnt disable double-tapping on a word to display the Newtons other guesses for that word. Pressing the ? key gives a little bit of help, pressing the xkey closes the keyboard. Name = Strainer 0.8.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Strainer 0.8.sit Size: 15K Date:11/15/93 Description: 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. Name = Souper 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Souper 1.1.sit Size: 31K Date:11/15/93 Description: 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. Name = SmallTime 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:SmallTime 1.0.sit Size: 7K Date:11/15/93 Description: 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 doesnt track hours but if someone asks I will add it. If people are interested Ill add features such as actual start time in time of day format and maybe even lap features. Name = Shopping List 1.3.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Lists & ToDos:Shopping List 1.3.sit Size: 21K Date:11/15/93 Description: Shopping List 1.3 - Shopping List was developed to demonstrate a potential Newton application in a manufacturing firm. (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. Name = NewtonBandit 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:NewtonBandit 1.0.sit Size: 21K Date:11/15/93 Description: 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! Name = Sleeper 1.0d3.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Sleeper 1.0d3.sit Size: 5K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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. Name = Sign.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:HealthCare:Sign.sit Size: 36K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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. Name = SciCalc 1.0b4.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:SciCalc 1.0b4.sit Size: 14K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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. Name = RPMDemo1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:RPMDemo1.sit Size: 11K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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! Name = Rebooter.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Rebooter.sit Size: 5K Date:11/03/93 Description: Rebooter - Here's a little Newton utility. 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. Name = PlaceSettings.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:PlaceSettings.sit Size: 8K Date:11/03/93 Description: PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the author lives in Seattle and his city isnt in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he could choose Portland, but it just wasnt right. Also, he prefers using the 24-hour time, and didnt 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. Name = Newton Function DA.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:Newton Function DA.sit Size: 13K Date:11/03/93 Description: Newton Function DA - This is a Display DA which shows a handy list of all functions returned by the self.function command on the Newton MessagePad. This list was compiled by Robert Bruce, using all of the information he could find on America Online. Name = MyCalculator.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:MyCalculator.sit Size: 27K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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. Name = Mr Advisador 1.4.2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Mr Advisador 1.4.2.sit Size: 39K Date:11/03/93 Description: Mr Advisador 1.4.2 - Mr. Advisador is a PDA, Personal Digital Advisor for the Newton. 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. Name = Morpion.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Morpion.sit Size: 11K Date:11/03/93 Description: Morpion - Morpion is a simple solitaire game I used to play on paper when I was a kid. Over the years I have been programming it on various platforms I have been in contact with. This is usually the first application I write to familiarize myself with a new system or language. The goal of Morpion is to draw as many line segments as possible. A segment can be drawn by using five existing dots or by adding a fifth dot to four existing dots. In the latest case, the position of the missing dot doesnt matter. It can be at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle of the segment. With some practice you should be able to go above 100. This freeware program is for the Newton. Name = Mastermind1.02.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Mastermind1.02.sit Size: 7K Date:11/03/93 Description: Mastermind1.02 - Master Mind is a simple game for the Newton where you try to guess a four digit number. 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. Name = Hot Buttons 0.9.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Hot Buttons 0.9.sit Size: 12K Date:11/03/93 Description: Hot Buttons 0.9 - This Newton application is a floating palette of user-programmable buttons to lets you, with a single pen tap, access almost all Newton built-in applications as well as any user-installed applications.

Gut Buster is shareware. If you find it useful, and it helps you with your weight loss, the author would appreciate a contribution. Name = Bomber (2).sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Bomber (2).sit Size: 12K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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. Name = BlackBox 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:BlackBox 1.0.sit Size: 40K Date:11/03/93 Description: BlackBox 1.0 - Black Box for the Newton is a game based on an old Parker Brothers board game. The rules take a little time to learn, but once you get them down, it's a pretty simple game. Be sure to look at the help sheet enclosed for a good set of samples. There are a number of balls hidden on an 8x8 grid. You must try to find them by firing rays into the grid and observing if and where the ray exits the grid. The balls cause the ray to either stop if it hits one, or to bounce ninety degrees if the ray passes to the side of a ball. By examining the results, you must try to determine the locations of the balls in the least time and fewest nuber of shots possible. Have fun! Name = BillyDraw.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:BillyDraw.sit Size: 9K Date:11/03/93 Description: BillyDraw - This simple Newton application allows you to draw whatever you wish on a picture of President Clinton. If you voted for him, you can draw halo's, etc. If you didn't you can draw horns etc. You can also see how he looks with a mustache. This has been especially good at relieving political frustrations. Use the Newton Connectivity Kit to transfer to the Newton. Name = AutoDict 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:AutoDict 1.1.sit Size: 10K Date:11/03/93 Description: AutoDict 1.1 - Have you ever added people to your Newton Names list using Newton Connection on the Macintosh? 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! Name = AnsweringMachine.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:AnsweringMachine.sit Size: 23K Date:11/03/93 Description: AnsweringMachine - This is a program for the Newton, which must be installed with the Newton Connectivity Kit. This is a small program to use with your answering machine. Just enter your individual codes and call back the messages, store a new message.. Its uses about 41KByte on your Newton. Name = Tiny Timer 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:Tiny Timer 1.0.sit Size: 6K Date:11/03/93 Description: Tiny Timer 1.0 - The 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. Name = Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit Size: 8K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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). Name = Boppin.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Boppin.sit Size: 11K Date:11/03/93 Description: 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). Name = Newton Names Downloader.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:Newton Names Downloader.sit Size: 25K Date: 9/30/93 Description: Newton Names Downloader - Here is a HyperCard stack generated as a temporary solution to transferring a tab-delimited file to the Names application in a Newton.

Newton Lowdown provides a quick desktop reference to NewtonScript commands which may be of use to those programming the Newton direct (e.g. through our NewtonScript Runner utility). It also guides you through the currently documented error codes, with a little help from Monty Python. This is a helpful file for anyone interested in or owning a Newton. (Does not run on the Newton). Name = Mini tools.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Mini tools.sit Size: 10K Date: 8/31/93 Description: Mini tools - Tools for checking memory and entering Newton Script into the Newton. Welcome to the Newton mini-tools. This collection of freeware tools will grow in time. For this first release, there are two different Newton applications for you to enjoy - Memory Massager - The prime purpose of this is to call a garbage collection in your Newton's memory. In theory, this should get rid of all the dross hanging around. NewtonScriptRunner - This is a slightly modified version of one of the demos provided with the Newton Toolkit. NewtonScript, which is the language used to program Newton systems, can be compiled and run on the fly, and this little utility allows you to do just this. Name = KidsCard.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:KidsCard.sit Size: 87K Date: 8/25/93 Description: KidsCard - An example Newton Toolkit application with sources. You will need the Newton Toolkit to view the sources, but you can download the .pkg file with the Newton Connection Kit. KidsCard is a simple application that shows the use of custom PICTs, animated views and custom sampled sounds. Newton Toolkit sources are included. Enjoy. Name = MemoryMassager.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:MemoryMassager.sit Size: 7K Date: 8/23/93 Description: 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. Name = Newton Stuff.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:Newton Stuff.sit Size: 69K Date: 8/08/93 Description: Newton Stuff - Don't have a Newton?
