To start a new note, draw a line across the note pad. messages. If a note gets too big (near the current free heap of the Newton) it will start to slow down. The best policy is to always keep your note to at most 1/2 of the current free heap, and probably 1/3. To find your current note size, tap the 'i' button at it's top. To get the current heap, try using something like ICS's SleepAid (a very cool app, I gotta say.).

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.

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!

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.

Many Newton owners have expressed an interest in the process by which electronic books are created and how they can do this. Unfortunately, at the moment, Bookmaker is only available as a part of the Newton Toolkit (NTK). Until a standalone bookmaker package is available this guide will hopefully give you some pointers on creating your own digital books.

Name = Book of Mormon for Newton.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Book of Mormon for Newton.sit Size:553K Date: 2/01/95 Description: Book of Mormon for Newton - This is the Book of Mormon divided into 11 smaller books. I chose to do this because much as I love having good things to read on my Newton, but I also like to have space for other things besides a 3000k newton book. The theory then behind this is that you can load the first section, read it, then unload it and load the next section, all with at most 332k free. I have divided the Book of Mormon up as follows - 1 Nephi (281k), Nephi (332k), Jacob (162k), Enos, Jarom, Omni, Words of Mormon, Mosiah (162k), Alma (1-20) (315k), Alma (21-43) (332k), Alma (44-63) (323k), Helaman (238k), 3 Nephi (323k), 4 Nephi (315k), Mormon, Ether, and Moroni (85k).

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.

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.

This is enough to illustrate the linking technology, and hopefully enough to entice one to pay for the full version. Click on a topic to view information, there is a links out and in area where you can tap and instantly be taken to a different topic. For example, click on Acupuncture and read a full page of text.

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.

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... Name = Capitalizor 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Capitalizor 1.0.sit Size: 6K Date:12/08/94 Description: Capitalizor 1.0 - Simple hack, as per request. Capitalizor changes the case of every word in the current note, either capitalizing only the first letter, the entire word, or converting the entire note to lower case. It places a button with an a in the status bar of the notepad. Tapping the button will bring up a list of the three options, as described above.

This app is meant for card installation only. It's useless to install it anywhere BUT on a card. If you don't have a memory card for your Newton, DON'T install this app. This app closes the Backup Slip when a card is inserted. The backup slip is that dialog that appears when you insert a card. I never really want to see this dialog when I'm swapping a card and the extra tap on the close box just gets in my way. So I wrote this app. It's Install/Remove is polite and will not leave anything behind in your Newton. It does not create any soups. You can put it on your card, eject and reinsert it into a friend's Newton and CardCloser will work! It won't alter the Newton Name = CardFile 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:CardFile 1.0.sit Size: 19K Date:10/13/94 Description: CardFile++ 1.0 - This application is a recreation of the built-in Names application which takes advantage of two types of learning. It supports only the detailed Show All view. It is compatible with the built-in Names application. The application was written for research purposes and therefore does not contain all the features of a full-blown application, such as overviews, routing, filing, and intelligent assistance. However, since cardFile++ is completely compatible with the original Names app, all of these unimplemented functions can be accomplished through it. The advantage of cardFile++ over the original Names application is in the entering of the name data. This process is much more efficient and...

Name = Currency 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:Currency 1.0.sit Size: 11K Date: 1/13/95 Description: Currency 1.0 - A number of people have asked me if I could distribute the Currency conversion portion of my Convert! app as a stand alone product. Currency! represents that product. Currency! replaces the Newton's built-in Currency exchange formula panel with a more facile one. Currency! supports the conversion between five user defined currencies. Any figure entered into the first five fields will be converted to the other currencies using the exchange rates in the lower half of the panel. Exchange rates can be altered by overwriting the old value with the latest exchange figure. Currency! will automatically save the new rate along with a date stamp of when it was altered. Currency labels can be altered...

Call for meeting information. DANUG does not currently publish a newsletter. If you and your Newton are in Dallas, give them a call! Name = DIAGuide 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:DIAGuide 1.1.sit Size: 33K Date: 3/28/95 Description: DIAGuide 1.1 - Denver's new International Airport will open on February 28 after being delayed several times. Due to the huge number of air travellers who fly into, out of and through the Denver area, we felt that a Newton book describing the new facility would be helpful. Some sections of this document may be subject to change in the near future. Locations or existence of stores and restaurants may vary from what is listed here, since many of the concessionaires closed down during the construction delays. We will attempt to re-publish this guide in the near future with appropriate changes. Name = Daleks 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Daleks 1.0.sit Size: 64K Date: 7/22/94 Description: Daleks 1.0 - Daleks for the Newton! The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible. Each turn the Daleks mindlessly converge on you. Colliding Daleks are destroyed forming a trash pile which destroys other Daleks that run into it. Your Options - Move to any adjacent square or stand still. Do this by tapping on the screen in the direction you wish to move. Use a sonic screwdriver to kill all the Daleks adjacent to you. Teleport to a random spot on the board. You may teleport as often as you want, but it is risky. If you teleport next to a Dalek you die. Undo is implemented so you can back out of stupid mistakes. A Micro Daleks version is included, which is much smaller, and does not include the sounds. 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 = DateCaln 1.4.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:DateCaln 1.4.sit Size: 16K Date: 1/14/94 Description: DateCaln - These freeware applications are for those who have to synchronize their Newton calendar with an outside calendar. The first program, DateList is for extracting changes made on the Newton for addition to the calendar. The second program, UpdateCal replaces the Intelligent Assistant for adding entries into the Newton Calendar. DateList lists future calendar entries which have changed between executions. The lists may be printed, faxed or copied to the notepad. When the close box is pressed, DateList will ask to reset the date last synchronized. An OK will clear these entries from future lists, while Cancel does not reset the date. 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 = Date & Time Editors.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:Date & Time Editors.sit Size: 32K Date:10/25/94 Description: Date & Time Editors - These protos are for use with date and time data entry. There are two floating view protos. One is for date only entry and the other is for date and time entry. Both of these protos are based on a third proto which is used to control the calendar. The other protos included I pulled from on of my programs so that you can see how to interface with the date/time picker proto. Actually, I changed the date and time protos to use my protos so that I could have floating date editors and the buttons are sized correctly. Name = DateUtil 0.92.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:DateUtil 0.92.sit Size: 12K Date: 1/26/94 Description: DateUtil 0.92 - DateUtil lets you quickly and easily view all of your Dates, Meetings, To do items, etc. The items are grouped by the Newton's internal categories, use the Category menu to switch between them. Use the Store menu to switch between items stored internally and those stored on the card. The routing slip will let you move or delete individual items (even those pesky hard to delete repeating items). If you move or delete an item and have second thoughts, press Undo. New - All item added to the available settings for the Store menu. Ascending/Descending sorting for the list. Displays weekday info for repeating events. Fixed bad word wrapping of items in the list and much much more! Name = DateView 0.2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:DateView 0.2.sit Size: 15K Date: 4/19/95 Description: DateView 0.2 - When you tap on the DateView icon, a window with the current month appears. You can enter a new date into the input line below the calendar. Use your local short date format. For US users this is mm/dd/yyyy or 4/12/1995 for example. Some international users switch the order of the month and day. Once you've entered a date, tap the little magnifying glass (search) icon to the right of the entered date. This will display that month. If you'd like to jump to a date on the month view, tap it. This will open the built-in Dates application and turn to that date. You can keep DateView open while Dates is open. Name = DbPanel 0.91.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:DbPanel 0.91.sit Size: 9K Date: 6/27/94 Description: DbPanel 0.91 - DBPanel allows the user to set the trace, breakOnThrows, and printDepth debug globals without having to type into the inspector window. 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 = Dikter och Sanger.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Dikter och Sanger.sit Size: 64K Date: 2/13/95 Description: Dikter och Sanger - This is a collection of some of the work from Carl Michael Bellman, one of the greatest Swedich authors. His humorous sketches and stories are as important to the Swedish culture as Mark Twain is to American culture. This book is in swedish, in fact it is in gamle svenska so unless you have good swedish it will not mean much to you. My intention with this book is to provide another means of spreading the works of a great author, as well as demonstrating the international orientation of Newton technology. From the beginning Newton was designed to be easily adapted to languages around the world.

Name = Disabler 0.5b1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Disabler 0.5b1.sit Size: 16K Date:11/28/94 Description: Disabler 0.5b1 - Heuristically adjusts the clock on startup, reclaims up to 10K of system memory, and allows the user to disable all InstallScripts, or just InstallScripts on a card. Disabling InstallScripts may help avoid (temporarily) conflicts and Out of Memory errors. Some features require or prefer that Disabler be installed internally; i.e., not on a memory card. Disabling InstallScripts requires that Disabler be installed internally. Disabling internal InstallScripts requires that it be the first package installed internally. The clock adjustment heuristic may not work well unless the package is installed internally, but should still be better than nothing. Reclaiming memory should work fine anywhere. 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 = DropToDo 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Lists & ToDos:DropToDo 1.0.sit Size: 31K Date: 1/07/95 Description: DropToDo 1.0 - Drop To Do is an enhancement for the built in To Do list on the Newton. It originally started life as a simple button on the note pad that let you write out to do items and drop them onto it, adding them to the To Do list, but has evolved considerably since then. There are three major parts to Drop To Do - The Note Pad button - You can write your To Do in the note pad and drag it into the button and let go. The To Do Editor - This window allows you to create, edit, delete, and duplicate To Do items. Preferences - Here there are several settings to let you make Drop To Do work the way you want it to.

Name = DumbKbd.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:DumbKbd.sit Size: 5K Date:11/10/94 Description: DumbKbd - The Newton has a smart keyboard - if it doesn't recognize a word you tap out with it, it asks if you want to add the word to the dictionary. 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,...

For numbers stored in 'Names' this is not much of a problem - you've only got to change them once. The international code will also change to 00 from 010, so your Newton will dial incorrectly on international calls. This little autopart does 3 things - Changes the UK international access code from 010 to 00. Updates the local codes for the four UK cities already installed in 'Time Zones', and divides London into 'Inner' (0171) and 'Outer' (0181). Adds a further 17 UK cities to the pop-up menu in the 'Time Zones'. No icon appears in the Extras drawer. It MUST be installed in internal memory,...

Double-tapping in the notepad or a text field will bring up Graffiti. GrafMod also sends the floating Graffiti button off the screen so it doesn't obscure other objects (it doesn't matter where I put the button it is always in the way). GrafMod has no options, it prevents access to the normal alpha keyboard, and you can't access Graffiti when you double-tap in a date, time, number or phone field (the floating button is gone). I like it this way so this is how it works. If you like it this way too then I think you'll find it useful.

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.

Forced to earn a living in the only way open to respectable middle-class women in Victorian England, Jane nevertheless yearns for love and independence amid seemingly hopeless surroundings and struggles to assert herself against society's repressive codes. Reflecting something of Bronte's own unhappy youth, the novel recounts Jane Eyre's love for her enigmatic, rather Byronic employer, Edward Rochester.

It modifies the standard keyboard, the numeric keyboard, the phone keyboard, and the dates keyboard. Because of the way it's written, it must be kept in internal memory, because if it's on a card, you'll get the dreaded 'grip-o-death' syndrome (if you only use one card, like me, than it doesn't matter, but for those of you who use multiple cards, and you know who you are, you'd better stick to internal.). The normal, QWERTY-style keyboard gets a row of keys added to the top. There's cut, copy and paste, paste name, date, time... and lots more!!

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.

The only example of a complete Greek tragic trilogy which has come down to us, consisting of the Agamemnon, the The Libation-Bearers, and the The Furies. The importance of Aeschylus in the development of the drama is immense. Before him tragedy had consisted of the chorus and one actor; and by introducing a second actor, expanding the dramatic dialogue thus made possible, and reducing the lyrical parts, he practically created Greek tragedy as we understand it. The Oresteian trilogy on The House of Atreus is one of the supreme productions of all literature. It deals with the two great themes of the retribution of crime and the inheritance of evil.

Name = Librarian 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Librarian 1.0.sit Size: 9K Date: 9/08/94 Description: Librarian 1.0 - This app will not appear in your extras drawer, so don't look for it. 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.

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. This version is quite usable for small patterns, but not blindingly fast for more sparse or spreadout patterns -- the emphasis is on the complete application and learning programming.

Linker is easy to use because it supports the standard Newton In and Out Boxes, so it works the same way as faxing, beaming, and Newtonmailing. To use Linker you need a Newton-compatible modem and, of course, an AppleLink account. The demo version of Linker differs in only one significant way from the real program - you can only send and receive one message per connection.

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.

It was inspired in part by the Graffiti Scratchpad. Basically Longer gives you scrolling capacity and avoids the Notepad's limits on the length of text. You can import notes from the Notepad and export back. You can also save your work into Longer's own soup. Finally, Longer can copy the text contained in a Paperback package. Although Longer scrolls more slowly than a Paperback package does, and Longer text should probably be no more than 20k, Longer provides similar capabilities - including Find - and in Longer you can modify the text.

This library implements the serial data transfer protocol found not only in the Newton, but in most of the handheld devices sold by Sharp Electronics. The protocol communications parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and odd parity. MicroWave is a very straightforward library. To send or receive an infrared message, you first call IR_Open. Find out more!

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. Name = MagicApp 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:MagicApp 1.1.sit Size: 13K Date: 9/03/94 Description: MagicApp 1.1 - MagicApp is an indispensible program that allows you to move and copy programs from a Newton to a storage card and copy programs from one storage card to another with the tap of a pen. 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... Name = Mail Edit 1.2.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:Mail Edit 1.2.sit Size: 13K Date:12/14/94 Description: Mail Edit 1.2 - Mail Edit offers a new way to read and reply to email on the Newton. It allows you to read messages in a variety of fonts and sizes, and allows easy access to the keyboard and, if it's installed, Graffiti (commerical prog by Palm Computing). It also makes use of more of the screen, allowing you to edit more of a message at once. To access the address information on outgoing mail, click on the Address button. To load a package attached to a mail message (the package name will be right below the message text) click on the action slip and then select Load Attachment. If you want a 'signature' on your messages click on the Address button and enter some text into the Signature field.

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. Freeware by 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...

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!

Part 2 is titled - HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE REQUIRED TOOLS. Also contains HOW TO UNZIP FILES, which will help in extracting text from those pesky ZIP files youll find on the bulletin boards. 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. 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 NB5.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Make NB5.sit Size: 11K Date: 3/16/94 Description: MAKE NB5 - This is article 5 of the series - Making Newton Books - It tells every step of setting up the BookMaker and Newton ToolKit software, and every step of compiling any book. 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.

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

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.

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.

It lets you change the modem parameters for installed modems. It has been tested on a MP100 and 110. Modem Mod relies on the as yet, totally undocumented format (to me) of a modem setup. I gleaned the information by looking in the soup that holds the modem setup and altering parameters and seeing what they do. Should work just fine as it's really a simple format. Install one of the Modem Packages that came with Modem Enabler. You are going to alter it. If you didn't install one, Modem Mod will alert you. Launch Modem Mod and wait a few seconds for it to set itself up, read the modem entry, display the splash screen. Change parameters to what you want. The changes are Name = MolBio Calc 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:MolBio Calc 1.0.sit Size: 7K Date: 3/16/93 Description: MolBio Calc 1.0 - This is an example of a Molecular Biology dedicated Newton applet.

This Demo does NOT contain NCK support, the 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.

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 = 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.

Name = NYCNUG Newsletter 12-94.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Resources:User Groups:NYCNUG Newsletter 12-94.sit Size: 44K Date: 2/25/95 Description: NYCNUG Newsletter 12/94 - NYC Newton Users Group - December 94 Newsletter - reviews - minutes - commentary and more NYCNUG Information, Reviews - Leverage, Time To Go, Tax Pro, Elegance, Decembers Minutes, Letters to the Editor, Classified(s) and Contacts. This package contains 3 formats - package, word and pdf file. Name = NameDropper 2.0 Review.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Resources:Reviews:NameDropper 2.0 Review.sit Size: 10K Date: 2/10/95 Description: NameDropper 2.0 Review - This is a review of NameDropper, a cool newton utility. Find out the ins and outs of this program! The review is in a paperback package, and is by S. Koren. Review gives author's info and contacts, full description, pros, cons, and rating. Name = NameDropper 3.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:NameDropper 3.0.sit Size: 12K Date: 4/18/95 Description: NameDropper 3.0 - NameDropper does one of three things. Moves you to the Hilited name. Adds a blank name card. Adds a name card based on what you have selected. Hilite a name, tap the Names button, and NameDropper moves you to that name card. It's that simple. Shareware. Name = NameIndexer 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:NameIndexer 1.1.sit Size: 7K Date: 2/15/95 Description: NameIndexer 1.1 - NameIndexer adds an option to the Names Button that, when clicked in the bottom half of the button, pops up the alphabet to zap you to the first entry starting with that letter in the Names File. It also offers you the option of quickly creating a new card in just one step. It uses less than 10K of uncompressed RAM and just a few hundred bytes of system heap. We hope you find this program useful and problem free. However, we are not responsible for any problems or damage resulting from its use or misuse. The program is shareware and can be registered for a mere $4.99, or five bucks if you feel better thinking about money that way. Although inexpensive, we are serious about this shareware fee... Name = NameSelector 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:NameSelector 1.0.sit Size: 8K Date:10/14/94 Description: NameSelector 1.0 - This app replaces the funcionality of your names button. It divides the button into two parts. Tapping on the bottom part of the button brings up the name file, just like normal. Tapping on the upper part, however, brings up a small window. Write the letter of the name you'd like to go to, and the name file will open (if it's not already open) and move the index to the right name (so it's selected in the overview.) Name = NameStart 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:NameStart 1.0.sit Size: 10K Date: 2/16/95 Description: NameStart 1.0 - NameStart was formerly Names To All Overview. This mini-app will automatically set your name file to open to all names and in whatever mode you select when the Newton is restarted. This reduces the time to open the names app (since it doesn't have to search through all your folders.) The modes, with their associated packages, are - Card, Card and Notes, All Info, Overview (full screen) and Overview (half screen). Name = NapkinCalc 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Lists & ToDos:NapkinCalc 1.1.sit Size: 77K Date: 8/09/94 Description: NapkinCalc 1.1 - Essentially, this is a spreadsheet-like program. It lets you create sheets in which you can enter numbers and text, and perform calculations on the numbers you entered. 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. This program does not wish to present itself as a super powerful, all knowing, calculation machine. It's purpose is simply to let you run a few calculations on the fly, and also print or fax a nice looking report. Shareware. Name = Natural Harmonic Resonance.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Natural Harmonic Resonance.sit Size: 8K Date: 3/24/95 Description: Natural Harmonic Resonance - This is an entertaining yet serious article about On the Natural Harmonic Resonance of Hostess Fruit Cakes, written by an undergrad student, under the influence of caffiene. 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 = NetAcronym.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:NetAcronym.sit Size: 71K Date: 4/24/95 Description: NetAcronym - NetAcronym is a compilation of Internet, Telecommunications, and ISDN acronyms and terminology organized in a book format for the Newton(tm). Use the browser to easily navigate the material to locate the definition you need. It is free. If you find it useful, tell me so. NetAcronym requires about 140k of memory, either internal or on an external card. Name = NetNames 0.95.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:NetNames 0.95.sit Size: 12K Date:10/10/94 Description: NetNames 0.95 - NetNames(tm) is a utility that uses the Newton chooser to see if there are named devices on AppleTalk. It is useful for - Network system administrators to troubleshoot AppleTalk networks; and Newton users trying to print or use the Connection Kit over an unknown network. In order for NTK, the Connection Kit, or the Newton Package Downloader to display an AppleTalk name, they must be setup for AppleTalk and be waiting for the Newton. Otherwise they will not register their name on the network, and NetNames will not see them. New - Changed sys 7 pro to sys 7.5 and other minor changes. 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. Name = NewBullet.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:NewBullet.sit Size: 5K Date: 4/25/94 Description: NewBullet - This is a my rewrite of an old (wow, 5 months) program called Bullet. This version should work on all Newtons, and should be compatible with other programs that put buttons on the status bar (like NotePak). Basically, the program puts a button on the Notes status bar. This button, when pressed, inserts a return and a bullet into the text. Make sure you have an insertion point! Just tap on the screen where you want the bullet, then press the button. Nice for making lists in the Note pad. Name = NewPage 2.5.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:NewPage 2.5.sit Size: 23K Date: 2/01/95 Description: NewPage 2.5 - My Newton was beginning to frustrate me in that handwriting recognition is far too slow to keep up with conversation. Ok, so I switched to digital ink. Problem there was that once your digital ink note gets to about 2 or 3 screen sizes, it takes a long time for the Newton to accept it so that you can scroll down to the next empty screen. 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! Now it's an auto-install, uses default store, and uses correct height. Name = New Release of WWW-browser Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:News:Press Releases:New Release of WWW-browser Size: 4K Date: 4/10/95 Description: New Release of WWW-Browser - New Release of WWW-browser for Apple Newton, now available for SUN WS as well. The successfully introduced WWW-browser for Apple Newton is now available for SUNOS too. It's delivered in the actual version 1.1. Of course this new version serves our main platform digital alpha AXP as well. It now fits on an MP120 and has enhanced image pre-processing. Furtheron some bugs are eliminated. For those who aren't familiar with our Newton-WWW-browser - Since about X-mas the first version is available for the community. For there is no Newton-TCP/ PPP/ Slip existing, the browser is based on a distributed client architecture. Name = NewTablet 1.0.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:NewTablet 1.0.1.sit Size:160K Date:11/10/94 Description: NewTablet 1.0.1 - At last! An affordable drawing tablet for any Macintosh! Cheaper and more versatile than many ADB tablets. More flexible than the Blackbird TouchPad. In addition to handling your cursor needs, this touch pad can also - Schedule Appointments, Keep your address book, Fax, Beam, eMail, Print, Recieve pages, particpate in your network, tell you the time world wide, and more (since it's a Newton). Set up is easy, install the Serial Tool and plug a null modem cable (like the one from the connectivity kit), and launch from the Mac and Newton. Now you can control the cursor movement with the Newton's pen! You can even write text and have it show up on your Mac! This is a must try app!

Yes, all Australian Telephone numbers are changing to 8 (eight, count 'em!) over the next three or four years, with many areas in the major cities of Sydney & Melbourne changing by July 1995! At the same time, many area codes are changing to a much simplified two-digit code (e.g. all of NSW will be 02, all of Victoria 03 etc). Version 1.1 works for ALL numbers (i.e. it will convert any valid Australian number, as long as it is entered with the both area code and number).

Name = Parse TDF.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Mac:Parse TDF.sit Size:117K Date: 6/08/95 Description: Parse TDF - ParseTDF is a Macintosh application I wrote originally to transfer my Sharp Wizard files to the Newton more intelligently than the dumb built-in application. 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.

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.

For each guess, you will see one or more of - Fermi-a correct digit placed correctly; Pico-a correct digit placed incorrectly; or Bagels-no digits are correct. Winning is indicated by Fermi for all digits, and an audible sound. Unlike MasterMind, PicoFermiBagels does not allow duplicate digits. You can choose to work with 2 to 5 digits, and whether or not to include zero. Good number practice recognition for the Newton! 1.2 - fixed bug (when writing too few digits), added bottom buttons to status bar, replaced About and Help with Info (help book), and misc. internal cleanup, Name = PilotPad 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calculators & Scientific:PilotPad 1.0.sit Size: 8K Date: 3/27/94 Description: PilotPad 1.0 - PilotPad is an initial release of a pilot's assistant for the Newton Message Pad.

This is necessary to help in the programming phase of multimedia where you need to time intervals from a reference point. Pit is designed to time intervals while the script or sound track is being played back or read. The intervals collected are used to design each animation or set of images for accurate storyboards.

Name = RFC 1765.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:RFC 1765.sit Size: 14K Date: 5/15/95 Description: RFC 1765 - Proper operation of the OSPF protocol requires that all OSPF routers maintain an identical copy of the OSPF link-state database. However, when the size of the link-state database becomes very large, some routers may be unable to keep the entire database due to resource shortages; we term this database overflow. When database overflow is anticipated, the routers with limited resources can be accommodated by configuring OSPF stub areas and NSSAs. This memo details a way of gracefully handling unanticipated database overflows. 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.

Name = ScrollingDoPopup 2.2d.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:ScrollingDoPopup 2.2d.sit Size: 8K Date:11/22/94 Description: ScrollingDoPopup 2.2d - ScrollingDoPopup allows any popup list to scroll. This means that a program like PocketMoney now has an unlimited number of categories, accounts,.... AssistCalc now has an unlimited number of user defined formulas. MPG can have an unlimited number of vehicle service alarms and reminders. If you have a lot of packages installed on your card you can use the built-in card's Remove Software button to reach all of the packages that used to extend off the screen. There are a lot of other packages that can benefit from this also... Shareware. Name = Sea Hunt 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Sea Hunt 1.1.sit Size: 18K Date:11/28/94 Description: Sea Hunt 1.1 - Sea Hunt is a fun battle ship game from BugByte Inc. Simply place your ships by drawing lines on the grid. When you're done, tap away, to find where the Newton has hidden his ships! Your Newt opponent can be dumb, ok, smart or crafty.

It allows you to watch most of the objects and navigate into the memory of your Newton. When you start SeeFrames from the extrasDrawer, it closes it and then shows you the slots list of the 'viewfrontmost frame called Front view in the top left labelPicker (it may be useful when debugging an application, especially if you have an ExtraButton of ScrollEx attached to SeeFrames). To see the content of a frame or an array (ex _proto, CodeBlock or viewChildren), tap on it and the slots list of it will be shown. You may repeat this until there no more frame or array on the list. More details are given in the documentation. Name = SendMyBizCard 1.5.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:SendMyBizCard 1.5.sit Size: 14K Date: 5/28/94 Description: SendMyBizCard 1.5 - Send My Biz Card is a small app that lets you create an entry in your Names cardfile using the information in your 'Personal' preferences or just select an existing one. It remembers this card and whenever you want to send your electronic business card, just open 'Send My Biz Card' and hit the 'Beam' button. No more need to search for your card with the find function or a lot of taps on the screen. Name = Separate Chex 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Finance & Accounting:Separate Chex 1.0.sit Size: 14K Date: 3/06/95 Description: Separate Chex 1.0 - This utility has a small calculator window that lets you add the value into 1 of 4 buttons...the buttons display the totals that have been tallied which makes it an indispensable tool for dividing a phone bill into 2-4 accounts. Another indispensable feature is that it divides a tip, discount, equally with respect the value of that each person owes...that is, if a=$10, b=$20, and a tax/tip is $6.00, then the $6.00 will be divided to $4.00 (for a) and $2.00 (for b)... also, a strict discount is impleted... Other nifty features have been added; take a look and see if it is helpful or useful. If it is, then use it or archive it to be used when needed (I usually use it about once a month-bill time and Name = SetClock.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Calendars & Clocks:SetClock.sit Size: 13K Date: 6/03/94 Description: SetClock - This small utility will set Newton's time by calling the National Institute of Standards in Boulder, Colorado. It installs in the Preferences roll and does not have an icon in the Extras drawer (although you still use Remove Software to get rid of it.) The 'Options' button brings up the Dialing slip which allows you to set your local area code, as well as any dialing prefix, access code, or credit card information. Tapping the 'Call' button initiates the call. Newton will hang up immediately after receiving the time code. Now you can be sure that your Newton's clock is always correct! 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 = 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 = Shortcuts 1.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:Shortcuts 1.01.sit Size: 24K Date: 3/03/95 Description: Shortcuts 1.01 - Shortcuts is a shareware utility that lets you add buttons to the status bar of the Notepad that act as shortcuts to the built-in as well as other applications. Shortcuts is a little on the large size (roughly 60K after installation) and therefore can be loaded into either internal memory or onto a storage card. If at all possible try to load it into the internal memory. Start Shortcuts by opening it in the Extras Drawer. Then all you need to do is tap and drag buttons to the status bar. There is a How Do I? button that will give you online help about using Shortcuts. In the near future I'm going to make the popup for the packages picker use a smaller font so those of you with a large number of... 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. 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 = 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 = SiliconBankingGroup.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Finance & Accounting:SiliconBankingGroup.sit Size: 43K Date:11/07/94 Description: Silicon Banking Group - PDA On-Line Customer Banking - This overview suggests a possible use of PDA devices as an integral component of future Client Banking solutions. This is a mock up of what can be! The Proof of Concept application attempts to maintain a familiar interface to currently existing electronic banking interfaces (ATM Machines) and devices, alternatives to interface designs may be delivered in various configuration and actions, however an accepted interface is the easiest for a user to familiarise with. Client Banking refers to banking transactions performed within Cheque, Savings, or Investment accounts but are equally applicable to Stock, Bonds or superannuation transactions.... 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 = 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 = SleepAid 1.3.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SleepAid 1.3.sit Size: 29K Date: 3/06/95 Description: SleepAid 1.3 - SleepAid covers all aspects of power management on your Newton. It replaces the default Sleep preferences allowing you to set two sleep times - one for battery and one for AC. It lets you reboot or sleep your Newton even if some errant application wants it to stay awake. And finally, it adds a SleepAidNow corner for one tap sleep and a HeapStatus corner for an instant reading of free heap space. SleepAid is not a radical change from the existing interface. It adds functionality without complexity and implements sleep the way it should have been in the first place. Name = SleepSoundPro 0.10.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SleepSoundPro 0.10.sit Size: 15K Date: 2/28/95 Description: SleepSoundPro 0.10 - SleepSoundPro (SSP) is a Newton application that lets a user change the Sleep and Wake Up sounds their Newton will make. Normally, the Newton does not make a sound when you turn it off and on. This is a bit boring, so we wrote SleepSound. Features got added, improvements were made and far too much time was spent on a Shareware app. We've added the ability in SleepSoundPro to support Sound Packages. We're distributing the format of Sound Packages freely so that others may create packages usable with SleepSoundPro. If you're interested in creating Sound Packages, contact us via e-mail. Please note that this is a demo version of this package and it will expire 30 days after you install it. 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 = Slurpee 1.5.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Programming:Newt-Slurpee:Slurpee 1.5.sit Size: 52K Date: 5/04/95 Description: Slurpee 1.5 - Slurpee transfers paragraphs or tab-delimited text between a text file and Newton soup entries via a terminal emulator and serial connection; type via keyboard to Newton fields, and print values and errors to terminal. I wanted a convenient way to move information from the desktop to soups on the Newton, especially text paragraphs to separate Notepad entries, and vice versa. Although Slurpee was created primarily to support moving NewtonScript application/method sources by users of my Newt Development Environment, I thought that this utility may be useful for others as well. Name = Small Quiz 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Small Quiz 1.0.sit Size: 23K Date:11/25/94 Description: SmallQuiz 1.0 - Use this simple 10-question quiz to discover your political identity! The quiz plots your position on a variant of the Nolan Chart, which is a two-dimensional political spectrum invented by political scientist David Nolan in 1972 as an alternative to the left-right spectrum. Depending on your answers, you could end up as left/liberal, right/conservative, centrist, libertarian, authoritarian, or some combination of the above. A good conversation-starter at parties! Answer all ten questions by clicking on either yes, no, or select maybe if you are unsure or have reservations of some sort. When you've answered all the questions, hit the Score me! button at the bottom for your results. 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 = Snake 2.6.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Snake 2.6.sit Size: 34K Date: 4/27/94 Description: Snake 2.6 - Snake is a Newton game where a snake will run and run and grow and eat and grow...and crash. You're job is to keep the snake alive as long as you can, and to keep the snake from crashing into rocks, walls and into itself. Steer the snake by tapping next to it's head.

Name = Solo 1.41.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Solo 1.41.sit Size: 41K Date: 7/15/94 Description: Solo 1.41 - Solo is a simple Solitaire game for the Newton. It is based on the famous Klondike solitaire game. You have the choice of playing 1 or 3 cards at a time. You can collapse Solo to an icon so you can see your Notepad and resume play later. Beware that this is for extreme situations, and you may run out of RAM... but it seems to work pretty well. You can display the red suites as outlines for low contrast situations. On-line help is supported to explain the rules and for all sorts of info. Simply Tap the Question mark icon. Also, you can now double-tap on Aces or other cards... to go to the foundation! Contains a lite version which uses less space, and has less effects, great if you're low on space. Rejoice! Name = Solo Deluxe 1.62.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:Solo Deluxe 1.62.sit Size: 89K Date: 2/15/95 Description: Solo Deluxe 1.62 - Solo Deluxe is a Newton version of three popular Solitaire games. With Solo Deluxe, you can play Klondike, Canfield and Pyramid, each with different playing options. Solo Deluxe takes up quite a bit of RAM (about 128K), especially if you have the Help book and the extra Deck designs installed (SoloHelp (19K), SoloDecks (45K) and SoloDecksTwo (31k). If this is too much for you, use Solo 1.41 (Klondike only). Features of Solo Deluxe - Three different games (with multiple options), Many card designs, Auto Start in your favorite game, Iconizable, Fun animation and ending, Scoring based on how lucky you are, Statistics (games played/won), and more! And it's Free! Thanks Renaud! Name = SonyRemote 1.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Communications:SonyRemote 1.01.sit Size: 19K Date: 8/24/94 Description: SonyRemote 1.01 - SonyRemote is a Newton Compatible application that allows you to use the InfraRed transmitter on a Newton to control some Sony consumer electronics devices. 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. I got SonyRemote to work 22 feet away! Name = Sony Service Center Dir.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:Sony Service Center Dir.sit Size: 8K Date: 3/10/95 Description: Sony Service Center Directory - What a great idea... the Sony Service Center Directory in NewtonBook format... when your MagicLink goes south, you'll know where to send it... <heh heh> (also handy for other Sony labeled products). 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 = SoupSweep.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SoupSweep.sit Size: 6K Date:10/13/94 Description: SoupSweep - Soup Sweep removes unused memory from the Newton's soups. It typically saves about 10 percent of the memory used by a soup. (Your Milage may vary.) It has been tested with all built-in applications and several third party application on an MP100 and MP110. Freeware, brought to you by the Newton Al group in Washington State University. 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 = SpellCheck 1.01.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SpellCheck 1.01.sit Size: 8K Date: 4/26/95 Description: SpellCheck 1.01 - This is a very cool Spell Checker for the Newton! It can spell check any note in the notepad. Just tap in the note, and hit Start. Spell Check will then match each word against the Newton's dictionary (hmm, maybe time to add some words to it!). Freeware. Name = StateBar.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:StateBar.sit Size: 14K Date: 3/24/95 Description: StateBar - This NewtonBook contains a list of the State Bar Associations for every state (and some US Territories). Shareware, $5. Name = State Disciplinary Org.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Books:State Disciplinary Org.sit Size: 16K Date: 3/24/95 Description: State Disciplinary Organizations - This NewtonBook contains a list of the disciplinary authorities for each state. If you have a complaint about a lawyer or want to check his/her record, simply contact the authority in the appropriate state. Name = States 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Games & Educ:States 1.0.sit Size: 15K Date:12/28/94 Description: States 1.0 - This program shows a map of the United States and shows the name of the state and its capital when the map is tapped on a state. 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 = 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.

If you don't know what they are, you need to find out! Included is a document that explains it all! Copy entries in a soup - or copy the entire soup to a new soup. Move entries from one store to another (Newt to card, card to Newt) - or move the entire soup from one store to another. See what apps add to your Newt (and remove the stuff if they dont clean up after themselves!). Create new slots, entries, and soups of your own. Modify the contents of first and second level entry slots. Remove a single entry from a soup, or all of them. Remove a soup entirely from a store. Print, Fax, or Mail a printout of an entry.

Name = StorK 1.1.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Shortcuts & Keyboards:StorK 1.1.sit Size: 5K Date: 1/23/94 Description: StorK 1.1 - StorK is a useful Newton application if you own a RAM card. It adds a button to the status bar of Newton to let you quickly toggle between saving new things to the Newton (internal memory) or the Card. Saves you the hassle of manually choosing where to store new things. StorK was rewritten to conform to a newly emerging standard for adding buttons to the status bar of the Notepad application. StorK will now happily co-exist with other Notepad add-ins (or ons?), such as Jesse Devine's utilities. Name = Store Keeper 1.0.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:Store Keeper 1.0.sit Size: 5K Date:10/26/94 Description: Store Keeper 1.0 - Store Keeper is a simple little package to change your default store to the internal RAM whenever the calendar or names apps are open, so that data entered there ends up on the internal memory rather than the card. When the app is closed it then resets the default store to whatever it was before it was opened. If, however, you open the names file, for example, and then open the extras drawer and download a package without reseting the default store via the card app, the package will end up on the internal RAM. 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 = SysBeep.sit Path = AMUG 15.2:Files II:Newton:Utilities:SysBeep.sit Size: 21K Date: 5/30/94 Description: SysBeep - SysBeep is a small program to give you a different beep sound. Two packages are included. One says Uh OH, the other, What the Hell?. You may install only one package at a time. Just run it once after installing (or reseting) to activate the new sound. It overrides the normal System Beep routine. Now, when you get an alert, you will hear Uh Oh or What the Hell ?, instead of the alarm sound that you selected in the Preferences Section. To cancel this new beep sound, you need to remove the package or reset your machine. If you install it in internal memory (it's about 12k), it won't holler at you when you remove a card. The sounds are from AMUG's Ashley Barnard, and her mother, Joey Baker.

This app fixes that oversight. The new feature in this version (1.1) is the ability to FIND T stops via the normal Newton Find button. The searched for station is highlighted with a circle until you move the display again. I also fixed a map bug -- Chinatown was mislabelled Prudential. You can grab the map with your pen and drag it around. To scroll the map left or right, use the large buttons provided; to scroll up and down, use the standard Newton up and down buttons.

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.

Each project can have several different associated time intervals. These time intervals are called TASKS. Tasks have a start and stop date and time.

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.

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.

Well, in the interests of future Newton compatability, and ease of programming, I changed the idea a bit. The new method of operation is - Click on the Dates button to go to the Schedule, Click on Dates and drag off of the button before releasing to go directly to the To Do list.

You select a folder, and Trash Folder will then delete every note it finds in that folder. Trash Folder is useful if you want to delete old folders, or use one or more folders for temporary items. For instance, I kept all of the source code for Trash Folder in a temporary folder. When I was certain I was done with the project I saved all the source to my Mac and then deleted all the source from the temporary folder by using Trash Folder.

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.

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.

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.

If you're not using it now, I wholeheartedly suggest you also install my Assistance! app. This app really benefits from Assistance! begin installed, but it's not absolutely necessary (just harder to use!) Quite simply, UserDict will take any currently selected words and add them to the Newton's user dictionary. Just select a word (or several) and tap Assistance!, then UserDict. It will automagically take your words and attempt to add them to the dictionary. It will pop a message when it finishes.

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.

With this package, you can control popular consumer and professional VCRs, with feedback, right from your Newton. Just load the software, connect the control module, and control and log your footage the easy way! If you do not have the control module yet, you can use VTK for Newton as a real-time logging utility. VTK for Newton is more than a simple IR remote replacement. VTK for Newton provides two way communication with the camcorder or VCR. This two way connection lets you create a time log of counter or timecode numbers with just a tap on the Newton. Furthermore, VTK for Newton seamlessly integrates into the Newton environment.

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.

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.
