Name = 15-Puzzle 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:15-Puzzle 1.0.cpt Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: 15-Puzzle 1.0 - This is a puzzle game for the Newton, and requires teh Newton Connection Kit to install. The object of 15-Puzzle is to slide fifteen numbered tiles into ascending order on a four by four grid. It is similar to the "Puzzle" desk accessory which ships with the Macintosh. A "Solve" button allows you to peek at the solution and a "Scramble" button messes up the tiling again. The position of each tile is saved between games. Name = 24.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:24.cpt Size: 12K Date:11/20/93 Version: Description: 24 - This Newton game consists of a very large number of puzzles. You are presented with four digits. Your job is to make the number 24 out of the digits using only addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. The puzzles are presented in flashcard form only - there is no direct interaction with the game. However, you can drag the current flashcard around the screen. If you give up, press the "answer key" and see one of the valid answers. You can press the "new puzzle key" until you find a puzzle to your liking. A good travel game. Name = AddToDict 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:AddToDict 1.0.cpt Size: 17K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: AddToDict 1.0 - The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition dictionary in the first versions is not great. Having to use the soft-keyboard to type stuff in all the time is a drag. And then it asks you if you want to add the word to the User Dictionary as well! This really gets in the way. AddToDict is a small Newton application that allows multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. Expect to see major improvements in the future, but here is what it is for now. To install Manually remove any copies of AddToDict's previous incarnation, "AddUserDict." Send the package file down to the Newton with your Connection Kit. Then launch the program and away you go. Name = AnsweringMachine.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:AnsweringMachine.cpt Size: 24K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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.. It´s uses about 41KByte on your Newton. Name = Any Messages? 10b2.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Any Messages? 10b2.cpt Size: 5K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0b2 Description: Any Messages? 10b2 - Displays the last four alarms or error messages (fewer if you've restarted recently), and allows you to copy them. If you don’t have your Newton constantly by your side and easily audible, you might miss an important reminder or error message. Now—if you can remember to do so—you can find out what you missed. Name = AutoDict 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:AutoDict 1.1.cpt Size: 10K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.1 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 = BDays1.0.2.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:BDays1.0.2.cpt Size: 6K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.02 Description: BDays1.0.2 - BDays is a simple program for the Newton to go through your Names (soup) and check the Birthdays (slot). Birthdays occurring last month, this month, or next month are displayed when you tap "Lookup". Future versions will allow the range of time to be specified as well as automatically scheduling an alarm. This program requires the Connection Kit to install. Name = Beep Beep.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Beep Beep.cpt Size: 9K Date:11/20/93 Version: 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 = BillyDraw.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:BillyDraw.cpt Size: 9K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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 = BlackBox 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:BlackBox 1.0.cpt Size: 42K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 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 = Bomber (2).cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Bomber (2).cpt Size: 13K Date:11/10/93 Version: 2 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 = Boppin.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Boppin.cpt Size: 11K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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 = CheckPlease! 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:CheckPlease! 1.1.cpt Size: 29K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.1 Description: CheckPlease! 1.1 - Here is a restaurant check calculator for the Newton. It is simple but effective (even tested in the field!). Source code (for NTK) is included and shows examples of user prototypes for numerical input and animated buttons. New to this version - The tax and tip rates are saved in the system soup so they now survive a hard reset; The tax and tip rates are not removed from the soup if you remove the application; The check total field is a little larger to make entry easier; Sanity checks are performed on the various input fields to prevent the Newton from crashing on bad numeric data. Extensively tested and free! Name = Checkers 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Checkers 1.1.cpt Size: 13K Date:11/23/93 Version: 1.1 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 = Commuter 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:Commuter 1.0.cpt Size: 11K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: Commuter 1.0 - Commuter is a shareware application for your Newton. Commuter allows you to quickly change your location in the world clock (Time Zones) application. It will store up to eight frequently traveled to cities for you to commute between. Name = Flash’s Typer 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Flash’s Typer 1.0.cpt Size: 5K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0 Description: Flash’s Typer 1.0 - A tiny keyboard for the Newton which can type the date, a tab, a carriage return, or the delete key. Unlike the large built-in keyboard, you can leave this one open all the time, since it doesn’t disable double-tapping on a word to display the Newton’s other guesses for that word. Pressing the ? key gives a little bit of help, pressing the xkey closes the keyboard. Name = Gut Buster 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Gut Buster 1.0.cpt Size: 23K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: Gut Buster 1.0 - Gut Buster is a Newton program which was written to assist anyone on an exchange based weight loss program. Gut Buster is shareware. If you find it useful, and it helps you with your weight loss, the author would appreciate a contribution. Name = Hot Buttons 0.9.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Hot Buttons 0.9.cpt Size: 12K Date:11/10/93 Version: 0.9 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. This let's you bypass the Extras Drawer and Preferences/Formulas Lists and should save you many pen taps. Name = Inker 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Inker 1.1.cpt Size: 7K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.1 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 = Internals pkg and source.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Internals pkg and source.cpt Size: 11K Date:11/20/93 Version: 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 = Keyboard 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Keyboard 1.0.cpt Size: 21K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0 Description: Keyboard 1.0 - The Newton doesn't understand my punctuation. Does this sound really really familiar to you? This package will display a floating "keyboard". There are many aspects to this program - Iconification, remembered locations, popup extras, repeating keys, multiple keyboards, Timestamp, direct access to styles and movement and edit keys. This release and the source code is "FiggleWare" so if you think its cool, drop the author a line at erica@cc.gatech.edu and lemme know how it went. Name = KidsCard.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:KidsCard.cpt Size: 92K Date: 8/26/93 Version: Description: KidsCard - 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 = List-It 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:List-It 1.0.cpt Size: 28K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0 Description: List-It 1.0 - What does one do with List-It? Well, create lists, of course! These lists can consist of anything you wish. Some people use them as lists of things to purchase, others prefer to use them as a To Do replacement. So feel free to put in whatever you like! When you open List-It, the first thing you see is an empty list. This is where you’ll see the names of the list you’ll create (ex - Grocery, To Do, whatever). To see a particular list, tap on that lists’s line. If you’re starting from scratch, just tap on the NEW button. This is a Newton program. Name = MailSaver 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:MailSaver 1.0.cpt Size: 13K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: MailSaver 1.0 - MailSaver is a one-stop Newton Mail assistant. It gives you access to your inbox, outbox, sprintnet access number (including keeping a list of your frequently used access numbers). It can put away mail enclosures, save the text of a message to a new notepad entry, and strip internet routing headers from messages before saving them. Shareware. Name = Mastermind1.02.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Mastermind1.02.cpt Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.02 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 = Mini tools.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Mini tools.cpt Size: 11K Date: 9/01/93 Version: 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 = Mr Advisador 1.4.2.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Mr Advisador 1.4.2.cpt Size: 41K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.4.2 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 = MyCalculator.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:MyCalculator.cpt Size: 28K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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 = NewtonBandit 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:NewtonBandit 1.0.cpt Size: 22K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0 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 = Newton Lowdown.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Newton Lowdown.cpt Size: 11K Date: 9/01/93 Version: Description: Newton Lowdown - Newton Lowdown is a simple desk accessory (DA) for the Macintosh (will not work on other PCs, or Windows). 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 = Newton Names Downloader.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Newton Names Downloader.cpt Size: 27K Date: 9/30/93 Version: 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. There are some limitations, discussed fully in the stack. Also includes a sample, 5-record file you can use to check it out. Requires - ImageWriter cable or Newton Connection Kit cable; HyperCard (or Player) 2.1. Name = Newton Stuff.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Newton Stuff.cpt Size: 71K Date: 8/20/93 Version: Description: Newton Stuff - Don't have a Newton? Want to read some of the press releases about it? Want to hear the Newton's startup and beep sounds, want some cool Newton icons? Yes? Then download away. The sound files are in System 7 format and can be used as any sound can be. Name = PeriodicTable 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:PeriodicTable 1.0.cpt Size: 30K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: PeriodicTable 1.0 - Well, here it is! The author's first attempt at a useful Newton application. He hopes that the chemists, scientists, and students who have Newtons find this to be a really handy tool. Might make those exams a little easier (grin). 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. (Make sure you tap the screen before you write down your exam answers). Name = PlaceSettings.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:PlaceSettings.cpt Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version: Description: PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the author lives in Seattle and his city isn’t in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he could choose Portland, but it just wasn’t right. Also, he prefers using the 24-hour time, and didn’t want to choose a French Canadian locale to get it. Place settings helps you tell the Newton where you really live (you'll have to know the lattitude and longitude or your local airport), and how you like your time (12 hour or 24 hour). Complete instructions are included. Name = Poker.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Poker.cpt Size: 12K Date: 9/01/93 Version: Description: Poker.pkg - Have a Newton? Feel like playing Poker on it? Well, now you can. Requires the Connectivity Kit to load the program. Name = RPMDemo1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:RPMDemo1.cpt Size: 12K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1 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.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Rebooter.cpt Size: 5K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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 = Sam's Sleeper 1.00.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sam's Sleeper 1.00.cpt Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.00 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 = SciCalc 1.0b4.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:SciCalc 1.0b4.cpt Size: 15K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0b4 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 = Shopper 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:Shopper 1.1.cpt Size: 20K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.1 Description: Shopper 1.1 - This application helps you create a list of items you wish to purchase. These lists can consist of anything you want. You also get automatic total calculation for each list. Some people even use the list as a To Do list. So feel free to put in whatever you like! When you open Shopper, the first thing you see is an empty list. This is where you’ll see the names of the list you'll create (ex. Grocery, Car, whatever). The list has two columns, the first one holds the list's name and the second one the list's creation date. To see a particular list, tap on that lists’s line. If you’re starting from scratch, just tap on the NEW button. Name = Shopping List 1.3.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:Shopping List 1.3.cpt Size: 22K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.3 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 = Sign.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Sign.cpt Size: 38K Date:11/10/93 Version: 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 = Skip 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Skip 1.0.cpt Size: 11K Date:11/22/93 Version: 1.0 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 = Sleeper 1.0d3.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sleeper 1.0d3.cpt Size: 5K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0d3 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 = SmallTime 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:SmallTime 1.0.cpt Size: 8K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.0 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 doesn’t track hours but if someone asks I will add it. If people are interested I’ll add features such as actual start time in time of day format and maybe even lap features. Name = Souper 1.1.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Souper 1.1.cpt Size: 33K Date:11/20/93 Version: 1.1 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 = Strainer 0.8.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Strainer 0.8.cpt Size: 15K Date:11/20/93 Version: 0.8 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 = Tiny Timer 1.0.cpt Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Bus:Tiny Timer 1.0.cpt Size: 6K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.0 Description: Tiny Timer 1.0 - Tne thing that really surprised me about the built-in applications in the Newton MessagePad was that there was no timer to time phone calls, meetings or the usual items that we like to keep track of. As a result, I threw together this simple timer for all of us Newton "Pioneers" to use. It is indeed tiny, taking up just a small amount of the precious real estate in the built-in RAM. This is kinda cool. Even if your Newton MessagePad goes to sleep to save on batteries, the timer will keep running. When you turn the Newt back on, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see the time still ticking away. The interface is as simple as possible.
