- AddDic2.0 - The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition
- dictionary in the first versions is appalling. 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

- couple of other goodies. 2.0 has some System management features and
- automatic addition from your "Notes" and "Names". Take a look at the "Pro"

- 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

- Books Off 2.0 - The "Find" button in the palette is very useful, especially
- the "Find All" command. It will look at all data in the Newton. But if
- there is a digital book, the speed of the command execution will be very
- slow. With BooksOff, "Find All" skips all digital books, so the execution

- 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

- Description:
- Brain 2.0 - Battery Brain for Newtons monitors your battery level and can
- alert you if the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold. If
- you've used your Newton a lot, you already know how quickly it can eat
- through batteries. But, you will probably be surprised at how fast your
- battery life decreases once your batteries drop below a certain level.
- Battery Brain monitors that decrease and will warn you as your batteries
- become weaker and weaker. Battery Brain will also automatically turn off
- sounds and the "Receive beams automatically" setting at user defined levels

- Burrito Beamer - This is an interesting Newton app, where you just select
- the items you want on your burrito, and send you order! Now if your local
- custom taqueria has a Sharp RY5AR021 Enhanced-Range Infrared Data Receiver
- and is within range, you can save time by beaming your burrito order ahead
- of you. If it's still a low-tech operation, you can instead email your
- order, or if it's particularly quaint, fax it. No support yet for ethernet,
- since La Costena in Mountain View doesn't support it. User configuration,
- client-to-client beaming, and client-to-client email with enclosures is not
- supported in the current version. If both clients have Burrito Beamer™

- Description:
- Button - TheButton is a program that gives you complete life-or-death
- control over your newton's little world. Ok, so all it does is reboot the
- newton, but it accomplishes this in a new and unique way. Not only do you
- get a nice little icon of a "failsafe" cover, but clicking on the icon
- reveals a big friendly-looking button that "nukes" the screen and reboots
- when pressed. Oh yea, just in case you carelessly leave the failsafe cover
- open don't worry; it will close by itself about 6 seconds after it was
- opened. This program falls into the category of "cute, but not extremely
- useful, by-products of my learning process." Feel free to send comments or

- 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.

- Book when I'm just looking for Rob's phone number! What it does - It
- modifies the findApps slot. This is an array that the Newton looks through
- when doing finds. It was a pain to find this stuff, not to mention how
- irritated the Newton gets when you whack something it _really_ needs. Don't
- write to ROM, it just irritates the ROM. <grin>. Pay the shareware fee!!

- only partially in Dates. There are two other design errors I couldn’t fix -
- Undo isn’t 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 MailFix’s working only

- 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 started.

- Description:
- Ndungeon 0.9b - NDungeon has been developed as part of a larger programming
- project of NANUG, the North Atlanta Newton User Group and grew in the
- process beyond all dimensions and borders. What the game is so far - It is
- a 40 Room labyrinth with about 10 Monsters. It also includes two shops and
- a lot of goods. You can attack, flee, cast and meditate (always meditate
- before you cast a spell). It all begins with you standing at the entrance
- of NDungeon. Your goal is to find the room where the princess is hidden. It
- is a beta, so let the author know if you have any comments! This one takes

- Description:
- NetNames - 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Description:
- NewNote 1.0b7 - 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. (Also, if you
- get too long - like 4 or 5 pages - the note will be too long and the
- Newton will not accept it.) 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!

- Tapping the 'Call' button initiates the call. Newton will hang up
- immediately after receiving the time code. Now you can be sure that your

- 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.

- Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Signature.sit
- Size: 8K Date: 5/23/94 Version:
- 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.

- 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.

- Description:
- SleepAid 1.2 - SleepAid covers all aspects of power management on your
- Newton (Classic, MP100, MP110 or German MP). 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 = Sleeper 1.0d3.sit
- Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sleeper 1.0d3.sit
- 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 = Slurpee 1.0.sit
- Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Slurpee 1.0.sit
- Size: 34K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 1.0
- Description:
- Slurpee 1.0 - Slurpee transfers paragraphs or tab-delimited text between a
- text file and Newton soup entries via a terminal emulator and serial
- connection. 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. Newton Connection Kit (NCK) is also a possibility,
- though it is slower, more complicated, and expensive. Although Slurpee was
- created primarily to support moving NewtonScript application/method sources
- by users of my Newt application development tool, I thought that this
- utility may be useful for others as well.

- 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.

- Description:
- Solo 1.31 - 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!

- purge his/her MessagePad® of left over soups from no-longer resident
- applications. Back up first. If you use this application, you could lose

- Name = Souper 1.1.sit
- Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Souper 1.1.sit
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- TTime 1.2 - Ttime (tiny time) is a small program to give you a small
- digital clock. It locates itself in the top left corner of the screen and
- can be dragged to where ever. It updates the time every 60 seconds. No
- need to restart it if you reset your Newton. It will automatically start.
- Ttime floats above most all windows to stay visible. If it's not visible
- over another floating window after 60 seconds, close and re-open it (tap
- its Extra Drawer Icon twice). The top left placement was determined to be
- where most Applications kept blank. However, there are a few that use
- that spot, so you can drag it to where you want. There is no close box as
- it would destroy the simplicity of Ttime.

- places a small dot in the upper right area of the Newton screen that allows
- quick access to the styles palette. I wrote it primarily for my own use as
- I found all other similar type applets not quite right for my own needs. It
- is small, unobtrusive, and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Once installed,
- tap on the little fountain pen nib icon and it will place a small dot in
- the upper right area of the Newton screen. When you tap on this dot, which
- is always available from any app, it instantly brings up the styles
- palette. Tapping on it again puts the styles palette away.

- "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
