[*] PerPro.sit
AUTHOR: H. Myler
Update to PerPro that cleans up icon and puts close box in credits/help view.
PerPro is a Myers-Briggs Personality Types profiler intended for amusement purposes only and not for professional analysis. Should provide amusing diversion during long meetings as you analyze yourself, your boss, or the presenter.
Well, here it is! My first attempt at a useful Newton application. I hope that the chemists, scientists, and students who have Newtons find this to be a really handy tool.
This is being distributed as shareware, so I ask that if you use the program on a regular basis, please send a $5 shareware fee to:
Steve Sande
892 E. Quail Pl.
Highlands Ranch, CO 80126
I will also send source code to other budding Newton programmers upon receipt of the shareware fee.
This may be distributed on on-line services, but I ask that creators of commercial shareware collections (i.e. - Educorp, etc...) please contact me for permission before including this program in their collections. Please note that this copyright notice and ReadMe file must be distributed with the program.
About version 1.0:
Note that due to the small size of the MessagePad screen, certain element symbols in the Table are truncated to one character. This happens in most cases where there is a letter "M" in the symbol (i.e. - Mn appears as an "M"). If you tap the symbol, the correct information will appear in the view at the bottom of the screen.

[*] MyCalculator.sit
MyCalculator (brilliant name, huh?) 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. I do not promise that it behaves correctly. Use it at your own risk. If you are calculating something important, double-check your results with some other variety of calculation. No warranties are expressed or implied.
Please make bug reports, suggestions, expressions of praise, and lucrative job offers to AppleLink address MONDO. I hope that you find MyCalculator interesting and/or useful.
Newton, MessagePad, and ResEdit are trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc in case anyone was wondering.

[*] Sign.sit
AUTHOR: Simeon Leifer
Sign is a Newton app that contains pictures for the american sign language finger alphabet. In its current incarnation, it is most useful for reference. I may add the ability to write in words and have it sign them.

This is the game of yahtzee for the newton, for one to four players. Very straight forward, will on-newton docs. I hope to add newt-player intellence (if I ever figure out good rules for it)
