Newt 3.1:
Newt (aka NewtDevEnv) is an environment for developing applications using NewtonScript and saving as packages directly on your Newton.

Newt is shareware -- registered users receive floppies containing current releases, 170+ source examples, and a 80+ pp. manual describing Newt features and NewtonScript syntax and functions.  See Newt.1st, intro.txt, register.txt for further info.

Changes in Newt 3.1 (8/11/95):
- NewtPack saves "small" packages even on pre-1.3 ROM OMP (RUNewt no longer needed)
- NewtPack better progress feedback, faster, creates smaller packages
- NewtPack saves books, apps (auto-close option), autoparts (dispatch-only option)
- Heap button displays current heap/does gc; Eval Controls draggable off screen
- better coordination of Print&Notify behavior between Eval Log, Slurpee, NTK...aif you use Slurpee, you must use Slurpee 1.6 (earlier versions incompatible)
- uses DontAsk patch with standard keyboard (rather than custom keyboard)
- GetNamedResource works directly with Ben Gottlieb's Icon Editor
- cleanup, performance tuning, better heap use, preferences, customization
- faster versions of Newt and NewtPack with native code available to registered users.
