From JC Bousson:
^The calculator takes only half a screen. This is very convenient to copy to/from the notepad.
{This Newton calculator respects the hierarchy of the operators (i.e. 2+2*3=8 not 12). That
s rare for a Newton calculator.
HAvailable fcts: sin, cos, tan, Ln, e(x), power(x,y), compound, annuity.
mThe only criticism I have for it is that Acalc doesn
t close the Extras drawer when you open the application.
Acalc is another attempt at a usable Newton calculator. Enter expressions by writing numbers and tapping the buttons for the operators (or using a keyboard if you must). Expressions are evaluated by tapping
the = button.

There are a lot of utilities for getting around the inadequacies of the Extras Drawer. Accessor is my contribution. Accessor provides access to the built

Very nice and convenient. One of the packages I like most. The makers of Accountable are serious people: good support, very open to suggestions, free upgrades on time, steady stream of improvements & new

The House of Atreus trilogy, by Aeschylus. 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. This contains part of the trilogy, Agamemnon.

Alarmist is an alarm application. It allows the user to schedule an arbitrary number of alarms for arbitrary times in the future. The alarms will wake a sleeping Newt and can play various sounds and display
various messages. The alarms may have one of four degrees of annoyingness and each may have a message associated with it. When the alarm goes off, a floater is displayed and a sound may be played. The user can
acknowledge the alarm by tapping a button or defer ("snooze") the alarm. If the alarm is ignored (neither acknowledged nor snoozed) and the annoyingness level is high enough, the alarm will automatically be
Xrescheduled. A list of alarms (if any) that have been ignored is displayed at power-on.
Ever notice how ineffectual the Newton's alarm function is? Ever miss an appointment because your Newton beeped once (while you were in the hallway), you didn't hear it, and then your Newton fell asleep! If
this is a problem for you, AlarmPak may be the answer! AlarmPak captures the reminder messages from the Dates application and handles these message much better than the Newton does. AlarmPak lets you set the
volume, beep, and frequency of the alarms you set in the Newton
s Dates program. AlarmPak also remembers an unlimited number of reminder messages, so you don't have to! To use AlarmPak, simply install it onto
ayour Newton and set a few preferences! Alarm sounds still work even if you turn sounds prefs off!

Tired of hitting that darned overview button (*) when you turn the pages on your digital books? All Thumbs to the rescue! This little hack adds three buttons to the display when a book is opened. A left, right

want to see the page number, the little gray area is a dragging button. Tap, hold and then drag this and you can move All Thumbs anywhere on the screen. All Thumbs will close automatically when you close the

This is a demo of the Anthropology HyperTextBook. In this demo, you can see all of the topics that are included in the real version, but only a fraction of the information. This is enough to illustrate the
linking technology, and hopefully enough to entice one to pay for the full version. Topics range from Abnaki to Zuni. 727 pages, takes up 1036k once installed.
Lets you view the last 4 Notify messages (in a list-showing time, message and error code-if any), of which you can cut and paste them. Includes ClockFix which should diminish the Newton clock
s gradual loss of
time. Usually when your Newton restarts, it remembers the time in minutes, but forgets the number of seconds, so your clock will generally be slow. ClockFix tries to set your clock ahead by its estimate of hoCgw much time your clock loses; this won't solve the problem, but may nearly take the square root of it.
App Memory is a program for disposing of unused memory that applications leave behind and thus eating up memory. If you ever get the "There is not enough memory - Cancel or Reboot" message (who has not !),
then this program is for you. Why does this happen? Because programs don't free up all the memory they use when they quit. Even the built in apps don't. So, every time you run a different program, some memory
gets left behind. Soon, not enough memory is available for program data. Then that message pops up and, if you reboot, you have to reset the Names, Notes and other apps to show what you want. Caution - While
most applications can have the memory they leave behind removed, some applications may malfunction or ask for a registration number again. If one does, just un-check it from the list and it will be bypassed
and not be touched.

Beam-o-matica is simple. It sends and receives text as straight ASCII via the Newton MessagePad's infrared port. Using this utility a person can send and receive ASCII from the Newton to any machine capable of
connecting to a Sharp CE-IR2 serial modem at 9600,8,1,N. SENDING TEXT - Hilight the text to be sent and click the "Tx" button. RECEIVING TEXT- Click the "Rx" button. The newton will place any text received via
the IR port to where the cursor is currently pointing. To stop receiving click on the "Stop" button. It's that simple. This application is shareware. By Vernon Huang. Takes up 28k once installed.
The BeamMeUp application is a useful utility for those using Newton Beaming. BeamMeUp will allow you to fill up the inbox of a friend with items from your notepad. Beam Me Up brings up a list of all the notes
in your notepad and you can beam any set of them to one user by checking off the appropriate notes. Makes it so easy! This works best when the person who wants to receive sets their Newton in receive beams
automatically.

The biorhythm theory is based on the assumption that the human body has inner clock or metabolic rythms with constant cycles of time. 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. Biorhythms also takes advantage of Newton's Assist function! You can write somebody's name into the name field then click on the label, the list is updated with the new names found in the
JNames File. Then you can select a name from this list to get his birthday.
Also called Birthday Updater. Some ftp sites store this pkg under the name
bdays
. Don
t confuse it with another similar utility called
Bdays
From JC Bousson:
You might prefer to use "Happy" because "Birthdays" doesn't update automaticaly if you enter new birthdays in the Names and because scheduling birthdays is a bit of a waste of memory (since you effectively
have twice the same data, one in Names, one in the Calendar). On the other hand, "Birthdays" is less obstrusive: no window poping-up now and then to remind you of incoming birthdays (but this might be a good
point if you wan't to be reminded strongly). Another drawback of Happy is that it's not well behaved on a card: if you remove the card Happy loses its pref.
EI haven
t tried
Bdays 2.0
, it might well be the best of the three.
Looks though all of the names in the Names soup and adds an entry in the Repeat Names soup for each birthday. Now everyone's birthdays you've added to your addresses can easily be transfered to the calendar!!

nVersion 1.2 includes a facility to exclude books from a search with Find. Thus you no longer need "BooksOff".
Version 1.2 fixes a previous flaw that was preventing installation of new books with NCK 2.0 while the books where "inside" Bookcase.
Note that a reset takes all books out of Bookcase and deselect the "skip books" option. I hope that this will be improved in the next version.
EBookCase 1.2 is bundled with NewtCase 1.1 (they are now compatible).
MMust be installed in internal memory, has the dreaded Grip of Death on cards.

Partial incompatibility with "OnSet". When I have "Signature" and "BooksOff" installed, adding "OnSet" removes "BooksOff" from the Prefs list overview. You can still access "BooksOff" Prefs by opening the
"OnSet" Prefs and scrolling down. I suspect that the real problem is with the number of Prefs that can be listed when you first tap Prefs.
With BooksOff,

Crypt is an encryption program for Newton. Now you can safely keep your credit card numbers and PINs, Swiss bank account numbers, coup d'etat plans, personal diary entries and other sensitive information in

Crypt uses the IDEA cipher in Cipher Block Chaining mode. This cipher is thought to be extremely strong, and if used carefully, should provide excellent security, even for very sensitive data. IDEA is patented
by ETH and Ashcom-Tech.
Input and output are text, and can be moved to and from the Notepad via the clipboard. Currently, only text can be encrypted, but in the future, the author hopes to add support for full Notepad pages including

*Painfully slow on a Newton Classic (OMP).
:From Ward C. Travis (Ward_Travis@transarc.com), 6 May 94.
<Stuff deleted>
eI had a chance to run DrawPad on an MP100 (with flash RAM) this evening. In a word, it's unfinished.
DrawPad's outer box, its demo, and my big plans for using it all share the same thing: the floor plan of a room. In the case of the artwork on the packaging and of the demo, the room is an office. In my plans,
0it was a rearrangement of my furniture at home.
The initial impression was, unfortunately, quite revealing. While installing DrawPad, Newton Connection told me to select from two packages on the disk: one called DrawPad2March.pkg, and another called
(approximately) DrawPadDemoGM.pkg . Well, I was expecting just 'DrawPad.pkg' or 'DrawPad1.0.pkg'... no way. So I flipped the manual open and read the installation paragraphs. It said to look for "DrawPad.pkg"
and "DrawPadDemo.pkg". Hmm. Well, then, what I got was the DrawPad built on March 2. I have no idea what the "GM" suffix on the Demo was meant to say. Yep, a loose end was evident even before I got the app
bloaded. I loaded the ..2March.pkg and shut down the Mac. I was done loading the app, after all...
<Stuff deleted>
The first thing I wanted to draw was the outline of a room, a rectangular room. Two tries failed to get me a good, solid rectangle.
This is when I noticed the next annoying thing. I did my scrub to remove my shaky-looking boxes, and the scrub 'W' just disappeared. Nothing got removed. I tried several times to scrub that object and failed.
I circled the entire thing, waited for the highlight box to appear around it, and scrubbed across the highlight boundary (like I would in a Note). That, too, did nothing. The only way it worked was to deselect
everything and slowly use the sideways "W" scrub to get the object to disappear. There were occasions where even this slow approach to cleanup did not work as expected.
OK, so now I wanted to try again to get a solid rectangle. To draw a rectangle, you must have the Drawing Recognizer (way back in Preferences) set up to 'make shapes symmetrical'.
<Stuff deleted>
No, no, it's defensible because there's no way to turn the graphic recognizer on and off from within DrawPad... you must go back through Extras->Prefs->Recognizers->tap->[X]->[X]->[X] to alter the recognizer
back to allow you to draw a simple quadrangle. There's no action button (like on the status line, in Notes) that does this for you.
But, still, I thought there would be some grid or gravity to allow me to line up several unrelated objects, or to space them regularly. I immediately started reading the manual. There is no gravity. Good luck.
=<Stuff deleted. To sumarize: the user manual is very small.>
So after I got my rectangle onto the screen, nice and neat with the Recognizer forcing the right angles for me, I tried to set the lengths of the sides of this 'room'. I selected one side of it. Nothing
happened, I could have sworn that I saw -- in my quick browsing of the manual -- that I need only tap a line once to select it. Tap. Tap. Nothing. Nothing. I learned that after tapping the line, I should count
to two before the selection would be highlighted. The mark from the tap gets cleaned up right away, and then one..two.. the highlight appears. That was too slow for me. The Notepad app doesn't have this sort
%5of slow response time... I was expecting more speed.
Anyway, the line was highlighted, and I tapped to scale the line. This went off fine, no surprises. I set that wall to 8 units in length. I selected an adjacent side of the rectangle and set it to 11 units in
length. But the rectangle did not resize. I was being FAR too confident about DrawPad. I thought that I could draw a room and tell it, in a longwinded way, to make the room eight by eleven. Well, you can't do
it just by setting the lengths of two sides of the room. What I had wound up doing was exactly as the manual said: Each of my two scalings set the scale for the entire page. The rectangle kept the same
*_width/height ratio, and whichever wall I scaled last determined the length of the other walls.
Time for the full read of the manual. After I had sat down and read it, I learned that to make my room have the right dimensions, I should scale one length of it, and then tell DrawPad to display the lengths
of the two sides. This is done by selecting each side in turn and tapping Measure. A dialog appears at the top of the screen for each displayed measurement. This is OK, each dialog is narrow and three, maybe
four, can be open without losing too much screen to them. Now that both sides are being measured, I can just select the whole rectangle and stretch it -- just like I would in Notes -- and stop when I got the
right ratio.
This cannot be done by impatient people such as myself. The drag-and- stretch falls a good three to four seconds behind you. I tried for about twenty seconds. 7.8 -> 8.5 -> (overcorrection!) 12 ... with that
sort of negative feedback loop going, you might never luck into the right rectangle. This got me crazy. I spent a while trying to 'teach myself' how to get the right size rectangle, and it just isn't worth it.
The smaller the stretch, the longer it takes. Big stretches go pretty quickly. But trying to make a change of less than about 20% of the line's length takes four seconds, and you have to iterate this to get
4dwithin 1% of your desired length. I apologize for being so frank, but this was discouragingly slow.
Another implication of this scaling technique is that an "L"-shaped room cannot be drawn to scale unless you get the proportions of the L's base's width right relative to the L's stem's length -- follow me? If
all you can do is stretch the whole thing, those proportions are going to remain in the same ratio! So if your first try isn't right, 'undo' it and try again, because stretching can't fix that. The killer here
is that an L-shaped room is one of the examples (p. 5, p. 17) used in the manual. The artwork on the back of the box depicts an even more deadly-to-draw room, one with eight sides.
<Stuff deleted>
I broke down and loaded the demo. It is NOT interactive -- you may only ask it to move on to the next scene, pause, or X it. It does show live action, however, and maybe people other than myself will really
benefit from seeing this movie. The compliments I have for it are that pictures are worth a thousand words and so perhaps this movie will be a GREAT demo to many who watch it.
Having viewed the demo, I still see no way to space unconnected objects at known distances; for example, if you were planning the lot of your house and wanted to include the locations of the fence posts,
utility poles, or the free-standing pool, you can only guess or get charged and use temporary objects as measuring lines. So you CAN do it, but this thing calls itself a 'Technical Drawing Tool'... yet there's
no way to tap here and tap there and get the measurement of something that isn't an object itself (like the distance between two other objects on any bearing).
Using my one-object image, I tried panning around. This worked as expected -- it was about as fast as the Newtons go. Zooming in and out were acceptable, as well.
<Stuff deleted>
DrawPad does more than just these things. Once you get a plan entered into it, you can ask DrawPad to calculate the area, perimeter, angle, grade, and compass bearings of components of the plan. I haven't
entered anything worth testing these out on, and may never. DrawPad offers a graphing capability that will generate bar and pie charts based on table data that your write into its forms. I drained my battery
before I got this far, and that'll sum up the review... (in all fairness, maybe the MPs do go slower when the charge gets low... but it doesn't bother me in any other app.) Once you *do* satisfy yourself, the
Jdprints it makes are fine, and the package does support a large number of fill-patterns for objects.

Shortcuts & KeyboardsJ

From JC Bousson:
If you
re fed up by the Newton always asking if this word or that word should go into the dictionary, Dumbkbd is there to help.
It is very useful when you need to enter a lot of text from the kB
eyboard because most of it won
t be in the dictionary (i.e. write in another language, technojargon, URLs).
It would be even nicer if Dumbkbd wouldn
t appear in the Extras drawer but just add a
checkbox
C=in the standard keyboard window. In the next version maybe...
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 dC
irect 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
DS RYO to attach DumbKbd to the word "Undo", which seems to make sense to me somehow.

EasyBill is a simple application that makes it easy to use the built-in Newton Dates program to keep track of your billable hours. Just track your time in Dates by creating entries that identify the project
and the number of hours to bill. For example, if you worked on a project for ABC Company for eight hours today, you'd create a meeting called "ABC 8 hours" in Dates. Then, when you need a bill for your time,
use EasyBill to specify the key word ("ABC"), your billing rate, and a range of dates. EasyBill generates a table that you can quickly route to the Note Pad with the action button. I wrote EasyBill to work

From JC Bousson:
FilePad strong point is its template creation. I also liked the ability to write directly on the form unlike Notion which use the same entry system as in Names. But that makes writing more tricky, you might
vnot like it. Notion listing and sorting capabilities are much better: Notion is list-oriented, FilePad card-oriented.
FilePad seemed to be memory hungry and a bit slow, but it's always difficult to tell when you've got other software installed.
Sometimes when you write no ink appear, it is quite annoying, maybe the area where handwriting recognition should be activated hasn't been defined properly.
But the most annoying problem is the awkward scheme used for saving records: you have to tap a "save" button for newly filled forms or a "mod" button for modified records. Failure to do so will result in a
loss of your data.
:Download the demo, it's definitively worth checking-out !
9Edited from: smrosen@fccc.edu (Steve Rosen), 9 Jun 1994.
My wife has her own business as an independant rep of office furniture and lighting. I wanted to allow her to carry around her price lists, samples inventory, fabric specifications and product specifications
around with her. Her business is built on handling lots of details for clients so to have it all at her fingertips would be a big win. This will take some time, but I believe is "do-able" with FilePad. For
example, she has one line of fabrics that has about 300-400 patterns. She gives a design firm a box of all these samples (3" square each) that they can remove as needed for projects. Eventually she goes back
in 3-6 months and has to figure out which samples are missing from the box and need to be individually updated or to remove discontinued fabrics. This is a very time consuming and tedious chore. Each 3"
)sample would have a barcode label on it.
Hence, being able to sit down and with a barcode reader build a list of what's available and then go home and send via mail the missing fabric samples based on the list built would save her hours. Just the
thought of being able to do this really gets her going... Also keeping track of many samples as they fly around between clients would be useful. So I bought FileMaker Pro - a wonderful product for the $99 it
Rcost me - to build a database on the Mac which would be downloaded to the Newton.
FilePad comes with FilePad itself, a few tutorial cabinets and FilePad Link which handles the transfer of data to and from the Newton. They give you windows and Mac versions/disks together, this is nice.
(1) Documentation
Documentation for FilePad is really, really poor. Nothing like documentation that is supposed to tell you how to use a product, get going with it fast and really does nothing more than enumerate its features.
I had to read the documentation over 20 times for somethings and I still don't understand some features. Sitting down and just playing with the software helped alot.
(2) User Interface
The creation of the screens on FilePad is OK, but it could easily be improved. The creation screen has a palate of objects at the bottom that you select from and draw on the screen. Once you save a cabinet
"Hwith objects you can not delete those objects, but you can change them.
They allow 9 screens of input. This is good. RadioButtons only allow 2 inputs and Popups allow only 4. This is stupid, but they did it (I think) to make it easier to design their user interface. The popups
will still accept other input. Handwriting recognition was strange. I had to get used to writing smaller than normal because the text input fields were kind of small. If I wrote too big, it stopped
recognizing after writing the 'Ca' of the word 'Cat' for example. This was annoying. Only static text fields can have it size changed, this is too limiting, it should apply to all possible fields.
Cabinets are created directly on the Newton. There is no way to upload the cabinets to the Mac as they are accessed directly from the FilePad application.
The connection kit may solve this problem, but I haven't used it enough to be sure. I called the company and they acknowledge that at this time there is no way to backup the cabinet definitions (you can
upload the data itself - see below). So you can spend alot of time defining a really neat interface, then somehow trash things and have no recourse. You can, of course do Newton backups on a RAM card, etc,
+Fbut I not 100% reliant on this since the card could get damaged, etc.
(3) Lookup
FilePad supports looking up automatically values in certain fields when other ones are filled in with certain values in other cabinets. This actually worked very well and was reasonably flexible and easy to
define the lookup process.
(4) Formulas
4LThe application supports formulas but only the standard '+', '-', '/', '*'.
(5) Database Linking
The FilePad Link package sits on the Newton and communicates with the Mac (or PC). It uploads and downloads data to and from flatfiles as tab delimited text or applications via AppleEvents. There is no
flexibility on the format of the files (in terms of delimeters or <CR> as record terminator). This is a great feature and I am just getting into this via FileMaker and will be trying it out this weekend. So in
FileMaker, I write a script which sends AppleEvents to FilePad Link on the Mac and data get's automatically loaded to the Newton.
FilePad documentation has an example of doing this in FileMaker, but no explaination of what events it handles and what they mean. Fortunately FileMakers documentation was better. I've really just started to
<rdo this and how well this works remains to be seen. One person said the downloading is very slow which I believe.
The biggest problem I have with this stupid thing is that it only supports Printer and Modem connections - not LocalTalk, AHHHHHHHH! This drives me nuts. I went to all of this trouble connecting and extending
?nmy network to tie in the Newton to the Macs and the printer and I can't use it for what I really need it for.
@6There's no plans at this time to implement LocalTalk.
FilePad has field types for drawing pictures, signatures, etc. It would be nice if you could upload these to the Mac as PICT files or something, but FilePad only supports text for now.
(6) Bar Coding
The application allows you to read/scan barcodes into selected fields and then automatically save the data as a record or save on tapping 'save'. You can turn barcoding on or off from the input view which must
just active the I/O port or shut it off. This is nice, and gives the Newton a new twish. It seems to be what I want, but until I'm more comfortable with the FilePad and what it can or cannot do, I won't
spring for the bar code reader for $399. They have a couple of models. The best one seems to be a stand along want that is fully integrated and reads most standard barcodes including UPC, etc. It gets power
IKfrom the Newton - hmmm, better bring a few extra sets of batteries with...
(7) Data viewing/printing, etc
Printing is weak (more like yukky). You can get a direct representation of all 9 screens of input and it looks ugly when it prints, but that's relative.
NVPrinting lists is possible too, which has a very fixed format that they augment like:
Record 1:
name address phone
Record 2:
name address phone
etc...
Pretty stupid, I can count guys! You can change the fields that print, but can't remove the 'Record #' part. You can also view and sort on different fields which works well, but you can only view 2 fields at
a time on list/overview mode. Of course you can beam and fax these fields as well. I believe you may be able to beam a whole cabinet - yea, that'll work, sure.
There is also no way to check for or remove duplicate records or prevent insert for unique key fields - seems this wouldn't be too hard to implement. This would be useful if you were barcoding along and
[hwanted to ignore the fact that you may have scanned in something more than once to be sure it got read.
I'll post more info as I gain more experience with the product. Despite it's weaknesses, I plan to continue to use the product until something better comes along.
FilePad is a database similar to the Macintosh / Windows FileMaker (keep in mind the limitations of the MessagePad). It allows you to create the layout of your forms, moving fields around and resizing them
with your stylus. You've got a choice of various field types: text field, numeric field, phone number field, popup list field (4 choices only), radio button (2 buttons only), checkbox, drawing field (shape
Xrecognizer inactive), calculation field and look-up field (for data from another file).
Data is normally displayed as a card (one record can have a lot of fields spread over several "pages"), but you can also display your records as a list, using any field for sorting. In the list view (mainly
Idesigned for browsing) the contents of only two fields can be displayed.
FilePad also has limited charting abilities and is supposed to be able to import/export data to FileMaker (haven't tested this last feature which is not available in the demo).

The House of Atreus trilogy, by Aeschylus. 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. This contains part of the trilogy, The Furies.

Graffiti is fast, accurate, responsive and frustration free. It works by writing letters exactly as you are shown, starting with the heavy dot. Most characters are designed to be single strokes. As soon as you
lift the pen, Graffiti returns the correct character. You may have to learn to write a few letters, but then you're Newton will always get it!! Includes a practice area. If you'd like to order the complete
tGraffiti package, which enables you to use Graffiti with all your favorite Newton applications, call Palm Computing.
Graphing is a basic scientific graphing program. Enter a formula, and it will plot it on your Newton. Change bounds if necessary.
@Graphs log, In, exp, sin, cos, tan, arc, hyp, erf and equations.

$5 or $10 for code
From JC Bousson:
You might prefer to use "Happy" because "Birthdays" doesn't update automatically if you enter new birthdays in the Names and because scheduling birthdays is a bit of a waste of memory (since you effectively
have twice the same data, one in Names, one in the Calendar). On the other hand, "Birthdays" is less obstrusive: no window poping-up now and then to remind you of incoming birthdays (but this might be a good
point if you wan't to be reminded strongly). Another drawback of Happy is that it's not well behaved on a card: if you remove the card Happy loses its pref. And Happy window can
t handle more than one upcoming
birthday.

This is a hack I just came up with so that I can receive large numbers of mail messages on my newt without runnin out of RAM (I've got a 100, and, once the names are on, there's only 'bout 50-60k left.) It has
NOT been rigorously tested, so be warned. Don't worry, though, it's pretty benign. It does two things - All incoming stuff (mail and beams) is stored in the default store, rather than the internal RAM. The
default store can be set by checking the "Store new items on card" checkbox in the card slip. The In Box, Out Box, Connection slip and Card slip are now all draggable.

LibationC,Iverson Software Co., Jeffrey Donald IversonH
The House of Atreus trilogy, by Aeschylus. 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. This contains part of the trilogy, The Libation-Bearers.
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
Vclosing the book. If you don't like this feature, install the "Librarian Min" version.
This Newt version is based on an implementation of Life described in an article "Life with NewtonScript" by David Betz in Byte, March 1994, pp. 191-194. 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. You can also use Newt and Slurpee to install it.
Linker is a Newton program that lets you connect to AppleLink and see what messages you have, download those you want to read, reply to messages, send messages from any Newton application that supports mail, anB
d save messages as NotePad items. 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. The full vD=ersion of Linker is available from Creative Digital Systems.
While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a feature found on most computers- a command line interface for system management...user friendliness (?) of the DOS interface. Now it's on the Newton. You'll
!probably have to type everything!

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 computers. No beaming.

@A3MD3: The Personal Physician Database for the NewtonH
MD3 provides a simple database for physicians on the Newton. This database is capable of storing basic patient information (name, age, sex, registration number, admission date, location, physician(s) in
charge, etc...), a to-do list for each patient, a list of medications/reactions/allergies, a problems list, and several other miscellaneous fields.
Once in the database, all this information can be quickly examined, or printed to a Newton-supported printer in a sign-out sheet format. A global to-do list can also be assembled out of all the individual
wpatients' to-do lists, prioritized, and then copied to the notepad, where it can be printed or beamed to someone else.
Limitations:
5Switching between folders of patients is pretty slow
?Patients are printed one to a page; this wastes a lot of paper

Author is deciding - Shareware?
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! There is a no-sound/smaller version
available.
From JC Bousson:
It's fun to play this on a Newton. OK, by desktop computer standards it's a pretty poor game, but playing it on a MP gives it a kind of magic. And the sounds are really great.
My first minutes with N-Dungeon were quite negative, but once I got round the memory problems I really loved it. This early version is very promising. And a multi-player version (via IR) is planed !
The task of programming 3D-like corridors on the poor black & white Newton screen is not easy. As a result, the 3D perspective will often strain your eyes, but the other graphics are nice (scans from TSR
rule-books).
The application is memory hungry (879328 bytes of RAM for the version with sounds, about 250K without, and a lot of heap space). At the beginning it didn't run very well on my OMP, admittedly loaded with 17
zother packages. To really use N-Dungeon with an OMP you should remove as much other packages as possible, and do a reset.
_Be sure to have "action sounds" ticked in your Prefs, otherwise you will miss most of the fun.
I had no trouble with the character generation and reviewing. The first time I went into the dungeon I had an error message after each action, but this was fixed when I did a reset and went to play N-Dungeon
aright away (though I still got the odd error message which doesn't seem to prevent any playing).
/There's a good joke at the end of the credits.
It's impossible to give a mark to this package. I loved it and spent one very exciting hour on it. But it's too memory-hungry for a non vital package (and an OMP), so I erased it. But I keep it handy to
impress friends !!!
Note that this opinion is likely to change when (if?) all other promised features are implemented (IR, larger dungeon, intelligent monsters, own dungeon design capability, etc...).
It is a very impressive piece of programming. Too bad the MP is not good for this kind of package. It's perfect as a fun-gift to a Newton owner though.

`It's a 40 room labyrinth with about 10 Monsters. It also includes two shops and a lot of goods.
You roll 4 characters (Intelligence, Vitality, Wisdom, Luck, Strength, Constitution) starting at level 1. Each one has its own head icon. You've got a choice of races & classes just like in the classical D&D
RPGame. There are fields for the things you carry and items you're using. Each character record sheet has also a menu of possible actions like Get, Drop, Wield, Wear, Use, etc...
,A NPC also accompany your group: Gollum !!!
During your explorations, you've got buttons for the direction of movement and you have permanent access to the sliders to control the contrast of the screen and the sound volume.
_During a fight you've got buttons for your orders (Cast, Flee, Talent, Meditate, Use, Attack).
There's also a window describing what happens in a fight and listing what can be found on the ground (because objects on the floor don't appear in the 3D view window).

ProgJ SharewareK
Newt (aka Newt Turtle) is a native environment for developing simple applications using NewtonScript, and for creating graphics (a la turtle) using gestures, buttons, and NS.
Newt is shareware ($35) -- registered users receive a 46 page manual describing Newt features and NewtonScript syntax and functions, along with a floppy of source examples and other packages.
!Changes in version 2.3 [9/3/94]:
C- adds new syntax/mechanism for defining objects and building apps
;- supports embedded help books and standalone Newton books
=- provides scroll options for long lists of methods, objects
?- adds other apps/books to Newt's overview list, e.g., Slurpee
K- uses a "library" folder for shared, customizable method/object templates
>- supports Duplicate, Delete of source code via action button
- removes built-in demo code; see sample sources applic0.nwt, graphic0.nwt; see also NewtATut and/or NewtTurT interactive tutorials
L- lite-version (w/o turtle graphics and some features) available separately

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
Cwrite text and have it show up on your Mac! This is a must try app!
NewtATut (Newt Application Tutorial) is a Newton book version based on an article "Building Native Newton Applications with Newt" that appeared in PIE Developers, Vol. 2.4, July 1994; pp.14-18. This
interactive tutorial will show how you can develop a simple application in NewtonScript directly on your Newton using Newt. (see Change History for content differences). NewtATut - the book - is freeware.
"Newt" - the native programming environment for developing applications using NewtonScript - is shareware. Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try NewtATut.
VStable package and free of nasty surprises (very important for this type of utility).
One potential pitfall is synchronisation. NewtCase "hides" archived packages to the NCK, but you can still see their soups with a soup manager. There is nothing like a soup w/o its parent package to screw-up a
sync. I didn't have any problem with it so I guess that either NewtCase is taking care of that somehow or the NCK 2.0 is handling sync better than 1.0.
The problem at the moment is that NewtCase and other packages management apps like RemoveIt, Extra-Extras and ScrollEx can conflict. You shouldn't need Extra-Extras and ScrollEx if you're using Newtcase and
Bookcase 1.2 (compatibility with Bookcase is a nice improvement) but RemoveIt or Stewpot are still needed. If NewtCase would include a soup manager it would be perfect.
ZNevertheless, NewtCase is one of the most useful packages arround. I highly recommand it.
The NCK doesn't back-up packages archived by NewtCase. This is very useful for synchronising (in most cases backing-up packages is redundant and increases the chances of failure). No more de-installation
lbefore sync. But beware of card erasure since the archived packages can't be restored from your NCK backup.
There is one small problem though. If you do a NCK sync. with a package X installed, archive X with newtCase, reinstall X, and then do another sync., you will end up with a new save-file on your desktop
computer instead of a proper sync. I think this is because X is not reinstalled exactly at the same place on your card so the NCK thinks that this is a different card.
|There is a clever touch to NewtCase: to launch it you don't need to open the Extras drawer, you just tap the word "Extras".
The documentation of Newtcase is very good. I've especially appreciated the good covering of possible problems and known incompatibilities (a lot of software companies keep this quiet and let you discover
limitations by yourself).
NB: If you remove NewtCase w/o first reinstalling all archived packages, you will be stuck with NewtCase soup. If you erase that soup with a soup manager package, the space occupied by the soup will remain non
usable, thus you will have effectively decreased the capacity of your RAM card. To reclaim that lost memory you'll have to reformat the card.
NewtCase lets any MessagePad (Classic, MP100, MP110) user archive his/her Newton applications to reduce heap memory requirements, alleviate conflicts between applications, and clean up his/her Extras drawer.
Archived (or "NewtCased") packages do not show up in the Extras drawer, but can be reinstalled at any time using NewtCase. With NewtCase, you can temporarily deinstall (and run) applications without having to
remove them from your MessagePad. NewtCase can launch an archived package and, when you quit from that package, automatically re-archive it. Using NewtCase, you could keep a hundred applications on your 4 meg
Qcard without overflowing your heap space or Extras drawer. Includes BookCase 1.2.

3Comes on Disk Only. Very slow when changing lists!
From JC Bousson:
Notion is well designed, but quite slow. The major limitation of this package is that you can't design your own templates from scratch. You have to work from one of the 100+ templates provided, finding one
with the right number & type of fields and with a layout that you like. Then you can only change the name of the fields and rename the template.
Notion is a a collection of templates (with some customizing abilities), not a true database similar to Macintosh / Windows FileMaker.
fNotion is a "clean" package that destroys all its soups (if you wish to) when you remove the package.
`From Albert Chu: Notion 1.0 has a minor bug, the package must be installed before the templates.
Notion is a list manager / simple database (i.e. groceries, credit card charges, to do lists, CD collection list, babysitting charges, ...). The data are displayed as a list. To enter new data you call an
entry card which works like the All Info card in Names. On top of that, Notion attaches to each record a note slip to allow you to enter more info about the record.
Other features include sorting lists by any one of the fields, calculation fields, check boxes for each record of a list and the ability to export lists to the NotePad or to the ToDo list.
MContains templates for over 100 different types of lists, plus make your own!

1Edited from: ghenne@tor.hookup.net, 22 Jul 1994:
9NS BASIC is a fully interactive implementation of Basic.
nAs well as providing the full instruction set, it has extensions to take advantage of the Newton environment.
NSB can be programmed directly on the Newton without requiring a host system. Popup menus provide quick access to many commands and statements; other code can be input using the on screen keyboard or via
handwritten input. Programs can also be downloaded via a serial port, or edited from a PC or Mac using a terminal emulator tied in through the serial port.
Your NSB programs can accept handwritten input, access system information, (even the NotePad) and other applications. You can program windows or buttons, and create files.
=NS BASIC itself requires 120K. A memory card is recommended.
Programs do not take up any additional internal memory while running, other than space used for user variables. The code itself remains resident on the card (except for the current statement) and does not
impact internal memory. Programs can therefore be of almost any size, subject to space available on the card. The CHAIN statement can be used to segment programs.
VNSB comes with a 150 page manual, spiral bound and about the same size as the Newton.

From JC Bousson:
Very useful package if you think that there isn't enough options in the Styles. And a card friendly package too (you can instal nStyles on a PCMCIA card and remove the card w/o problem, text formated with
6nStyles' extra options will even keep its formating).
One thing that some people might not like is the extra tap that nStyles requires because of its use of menus where the normal Styles has radio buttons.
}While nStyles is installed you will no longer be able to call the standard Styles window. nStyles works fine with TapStyles.
HNote that nStyles doesn't appear in the Extras drawer nor in the Prefs.
KBUT, nStyles requires a huge amount of heap space (according to NewtCase).
nStyles changes the "Styles" window so as to give you more options. With the normal "Styles" you've got a choice of 2 fonts, 4 letter sizes, 3 styles and 4 ink pen sizes. When nStyles is istalled, you get an
extra font (System), 2 extra styles (italic & outline), new letter sizes (14, 24, 36, 48, 72), 8 ink pen sizes and the ability to capitalize (the sentence or each word) selected text.

From JC Bousson:
Partial incompatibility with "BooksOff". When I have "Signature" and "BooksOff" installed, adding "OnSet" removes "BooksOff" from the Prefs list overview. You can still access "BooksOff" Prefs by opening the
"OnSet" Prefs and scrolling down. I suspect that the real problem is with the number of Prefs that can be listed when you first tap Prefs.
With Syst 1.3 you can get two alternative startup screens w/o OnSet by adding 2 or 3 spaces after your street address in Prefs / Personal.
OnSet will allow you to change your power-on screen picture. You can change it to a number of preset ROM/system bitmaps or bitmaps that are stored in a special soup. A few such custom pictures have been

This is a light-weight Outliner for the Newton that treats each Note as a potential outline. It is much less Newton-ish than Dyno Notepad but also much faster, safer and import-friendly. Outline looks like a
separate application, but it really isn't. Outline is really a way of viewing and editing a Note from the Notepad. It is important to understand that every Note can be viewed as an outline and every outline is
itself a Note. You will need to use the Notepad to fax, beam, mail, delete or duplicate an Outline, or to add formatting or pictures or to import or export an outline. Comes with a manual to load onto your

Below you will find PPIM license charges for an unlimited distribution license per product. That means that a separate license would be required for each software product you would plan to distibute that uses
the PPIM. The PPIM can be paid for in US dollars ($), British Pounds Sterling (
), or Dutch Guilders (Fl). Discounts are available for purchases of multiple licenses.
Retail Price (US) $ 200

Prefs Patcher is a small patch for the Newton MessagePad which corrects what we consider an annoying user interface "feature". Namely, that you have to click twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls. When you
install Prefs Patcher, it replaces the close box in these rolls with one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll. You can still click on the overview button to get back to the overview.
The application also places a dual-function button on the notepad status bar for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.

Calendars & Clocks
QuickAlarm installs an Intelligent Assistance verb into your Newton. With this verb, you can quickly and easily add new alarms to your Newton Dates application. To use QuickAlarm, simply write alarm on your
NotePad and tap Assist. QuickAlarm will open. The QuickAlarm screen has two fields for you to select and enter delay and reminder text. You can write any number of minutes in this field, even several days or
weeks in the future. The Alarm text field allows you to enter the text to be displayed when the alarm is triggered. There is a pop-up of common choices for you to select from. You can also write in your own
text. QuickAlarm can place it's alarms in one of two places. Either in the Schedule or the Day Note view of the Dates application. Expires 30 days after you install it, and will totally expire on 12/31/95.

Communication
QuickCall is a small package that installs a small button on the status bar of your note pad. This button contains a graphic that looks like a tiny telephone. When this button is clicked, it opens a pop-up
menu of the people that you have entered into your call list. Presumably, these are the people that you want to call the most, although they may not be. Tapping on someone's name brings up a call slip with the
person's phone number. This is exactly what you would get if you wrote "call (so-and-so)", highlighted it, and tapped assist. The QuickCall pop-up menu also contains an option to edit the list of people, and
to bring up a blank call slip for someone not on the list. Still no card removal - This doesn't seem too important to most people, tell me if it is an important one to you.
FreewareK)Freeware or $39 for full version (QF Pro)
From JC Bousson:
Pretty good. Not as nice looking as NapkinCalc, but QuickFigure won't let you down. QFigure Lite is a basic spreadsheet, with fewer features than other similar packages (notably, the formating features are
very limited and entries require an entry slip which close after each entry). But it's free. If you want more, you can buy QFigure Pro (cf).
QuickFigure Lite is a fast, small, fully functional spreadsheet for the Newton. It supports all standard Newton math and financial functions (QF Lite supports over 40 math functions), allows the user to store
multiple worksheets, has printing, faxing and mailing capability, and many other features. If you register your copy of QuickFigure Lite, you will receive a complete manual (both on paper and in Newton Digital
Book format), an enhanced version of the software (no start-up screen, more formatting options, more math and financial functions, more rows and columns, and many other things), notification of new and
6improved versions, and technical support (via E-Mail).

A$R.U.N. : Rahmel Utilities for NewtonC
Coherent VisualH
UtilJ
Commercial
Rahmel Utilities for Newton or R.U.N. is a collection of utilities that allows Newton users to create organization charts, set up flash card data for information review, track daily expenses, automate shopping
Hlists, and automatically inserts birthday reminders into your calendar.
With Chart Organizer, organization boxes are added as one of four types: manager, co-worker, assistant, and subordinate. Each box supports two editable fields. The entire chart may be viewed at once using the
eOverview button. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are support, as well as printing and faxing.
The Flash Cards program accepts information handwritten into
front
and
fields. A set may be reviewed randomly or in order, and a score may be kept for the answered correctly. Multiple card sets may be
kept.
In Expense List, expenses and mileage are placed into various categories. Expenses may then be totaled by week, month or a specific time period. Multiple lists can be tracked separately or together. The user
`may also create custom categories to classify specific expenses. Printing and faxing supported.
The Shopping List application uses both handwriting and pop-up menus to enter the quantity, description, and average price of items into a given list. As items are purchased they may be checked off and removed
from list. Multiple lists are supported. Common items may be added to the pop-up menus. The application automatically does a total amount calculation to show an approximate shopping total.
Birth dates entered into the
Names
application have had to be added by hand to the
Calendar,
until now. Birthday Reminder automatically searches the Names data and inserts reminders into the Newton
calendar. These reminders may be inserted a day, three days, or a week preceding the event. Alarms may also be set to remind the user.
The packages are compact and therefore individually they may be loaded into an unexpanded Newton MessagePad. Although possible to put them into normal memory all at once, a RAM expansion is seriously
recommended.
R.U.N. includes a bonus utility to add the dates of major holidays to your calendar. All utilities are compatible with the Messagepad 110.

Resto is a Newton program to help you split the restaurant bill. You start by entering the total, including tax and everything. Enter the tip rate - it will be calculated for you. Enter the number of people to
divide the bill by, and a table will appear. The great thing is the Extras section. Say you go out to lunch and your friend orders two drinks. You want to split the bill, but not pay for the drinks. Enter the cC
ost of the drinks, and how many. That money will be subtracted from the split total. Then you each pay the split amount, and your friend throws in the extra for the drinks. And now, you can link people (dates, D;spouses...) and get your total versus your single friend's.

Prescriptions on Tap - Rapid Prescription Writer for the Newton MessagePad. Rx on Tap is a timesaving program for the Newton MessagePad and Sharp ExpertPad. Using Rx on Tap, any given prescription, no matter
how complicated, is only a few pen taps away. No longer will you have to scribble out those complicated instructions for tapering a medication over the course of weeks. No more phone calls from the pharmacist
who is trying to decipher your hieroglyphics. Rx on tap also incorporates a weight based dosage calculator and notes. This version of Rx on Tap will work for 21 days unless registered.
This is a really great utility. Any character may be displayed by the buttons made by RYO (except, obviously, for the permanent buttons highjacking). For exemple I use a "bullet" in the upper rB
ight corner of my screen to call the Styles pallet, a "K" button in the upper left corner to call the package "Dumbkbd", and "Assist" to call the "Prefs".
The only drawback I've found so far is the size of the
package, 24K, which is a lot for an MP100 (you must install RYO in internal RAM). But that's the price to pay for so much flexibility.
RYO lets you associate buttons to any package of the Extras drawer, even the ones that are in ROM like "Styles", "Prefs", ...
With RYO you can make floating buttons, top of the screen buttons,
statusbar button
s (bottom of the screen), and even make buttons out of the name of the permanent buttons (Names, Dates, Extras, Undo, Find, Assist) while leaving the icon to operate normally the permanent buttons.
In additionC
, Roll Your Own will optionally increase the tap area for the down arrow.
RYO should coexist nicely with other floating window packages (such as Scrappy) and with other buttonbar makers, like "Buttons." Howeve
r, a RYO floating window placed over another self-installing floating window may show up under the window on a restart, which is weird but uncontrollable.
In the RYO III folder you will also get several utilitE
- "Open" which pops up an alphabetical list of some of the applications in the Extras Drawer. Selecting one opens it. Selecting the top item "Settings" opens a window with two scrollable lists from which y
ou can set apps not to appear on the menu.
- "Styler" which is a small palette to substitute for the Styles Palette. It can produce any type face, size and style that the Newton can show.
- "Type Palette" whichG
is a small palette containing some commonly used keys to type that don't work well with handwriting recognition.
- "Dumbkeyboard" which is a normal keyboard except it doesn't ask if you want to add words to yo
ur user dictionary.
- "NoteMarker" that lets you define "bookmarks" in your Notes, for quick reference.
- "Quickies" that performs a number of normally cumbersome tasks easily.
- "Chars" that pops up a page of IAmost ascii characters, tapping one types it and closes the page.

UtilJ Shareware
1From: mrh@netcom.com (Mark Holmes), 17 Apr 1994.
Figgles is limited. I normally have at least thirty packages on my Newt and Figgles' KeyboardPro can't show those last few. ScrollEx is the way to go, if for no other reason than it's being most intuitive --
by simply making the arrows work in the Extras drawer. The other important feature of ScrollEx is the addition of a routing slip to the Extras drawer; the slip includes "delete package" which is important
bsince the Card button's "Remove Software" list doesn't have room to list more than about 20 apps.
Extra Extras, and related utils, may work just as well, but ScrollEx is the clear interface winner on this score. Hopefully it will become obsolete when Apple cleans up this design deficiency.
I was very disappointed when I loaded my 31st app into the Newton, and found out that the Extras drawer does not scroll! This app changes all that!! Features - Allows you to scroll the Extras Drawer. Allows
scrollable Extras Drawer overview. Allows a direct access to the remove package function. Allows you to move packages to or from the card, and beam packages. Allows you to attach applications to the standard
screen buttons (Names, Dates, Extras...). Fixes the icons alignment problem in the Extras Drawer. Allows filing of icons into different Extras drawer folders. Has card changing optimization. This program must
be installed in the internal RAM and not a card. Written and tested under Systems version 1.11 and 1.3. Full documentation is included. Thanks Ludovic! Shareware, $20. There is a French commercial version

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

2Very nice Klondike, couldn

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,
FStatistics (games played/won), and more! And it's Free! Thanks Renaud!
Not very useful as such (except if you've lost or broken a remote control) but it demonstrates what is possible. You can forsee what could follow (i.e. TV magazine in a NewtonBook format where you highlight a
6program you want to tape and let the MP do the rest).
The design/layout of the actual commands is nice. I had no trouble controlling my three years old HiFi, but my older trinitron TV wouldn't answer. Can't say about the video since mine is not a Sony.
CNote: SonyRemote leaves a soup behind when you remove the package.
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

From JC Bousson:
Very useful utility but doesn't leave much room to buttons from other packages (if you use the full 7 buttons set). I free up space by using the "TapStyles" utility instead of the Styles button. "TapStyles"
ihas also the advantage of being accessible from anywhere (StatusBar buttons is only available in Notes).
StatusBar Buttons 2.0 should be fully compatible with "Stork" & "Keyboard Pro" (version 1 was hiding other statusbar buttons).
StatusBar Buttons is a single Newton applet which places 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 or not as appropriate for your unique needs. Those buttons are: "Bullet", "Exclaim!" (punctuation), "Styles", "Keys"
(return,tab,delete), "Ink size", "Words/Letters" (to switch between word recognition and letter-by-letter recognition) and "Prefs access" (to access directly the Prefs, w/o opening the Extras drawer). You can
galso set the order of the punctuation set and shrink the standard keyboard key to half its normal size.
Includes good documentation about soups. Better know what you're doing first! Can really dig around with this (and without harm). Now compatible with110. Nice icon Mark!
From JC Bousson: If I need to remove a soup, I always use StewPot. I've never had any problem. What I like, compared to KeyboardPro for exemple, is that with StewPot you know which soups are in internal memory
and which are on a card. But you might prefer RemoveIt which allows you also to see system soups and system directory soups (but not the content of any soup).
StewPot is a soup inspector with many features. StewPot lets you - Copy entries in a soup, move entries from one store to another (Newt card to another), see what shareware apps add, remove a soup entirely and
%more. Now supports print/fax/mailing.

T-CubeC
Dan VenoliaH
T-Cube is a new way of entering characters and text on Newton. It complements handwriting recognition and the soft keyboard. Characters correspond to "flick" gestures made into the T-Cube window. After you
have installed T-Cube, it is accessed by tapping its button in the Note Pad status bar. T-Cube shows nine buttons arranged like a wheel. Pressing and holding the pen down in any of the button shows a different
"pie menu" containing eight characters. You can "type" a character by moving the pen in one of the eight directions, then lifting it. This sounds like a tedious way to type, but as you start to memorize common
dcharacters, such as space and "e", you can make the gesture directly, without invoking the pie menu.

I purchased "The Economist World in Figures" program about a week ago. As I exlored through it, I started to notice that some of the figures just weren't looking right. Sure enough, every damn one of them had
Xthe right-most digit cut off. "96" would only be "9", "23,465" would read "23,46", etc.
I called Star Core and found out that yes, they were aware of this problem with 110's and 100's, and that there was no work around.

$25 for 8 packages.
From JC Bousson:
Very good value for money ! KeyboardPro + KeyQuick is a powerful add-on to your newton, you won't need "Extra-Extra" anymore nor any soup manager. But the style implementation requires as many taps as the
inormal access through the "Extras" drawer. In that respect, "Skip" or "TapStyles" are a better solution.
The soup manager feature of KeyboardPro has a nice touch compared to other soup managers like "Souper" or "StewPot": KeyboardPro doesn't allow you to mess up with the vital soups like Notes, calendar,
)Directory, inBox, OutBox, System, etc...
A recuring question on the Net is how to enter text on the MP via a desktop computer keyboard. Typomanica is a popular solution for that.
Minor complaints:
-KeyboardPro "delete right" key is using a symbol normally used to represent the TAB key. I personally favour the key representation of "Statusbar buttons: Keys".
- After having called KeyboardPro once (and then closed it), the insertion point tend to stay on your screen (it should normally appear only when you call a keyboard).
ve had the feeling that, when in use, Keyboard Pro was requiring a lot of heap memory. But I
m not too sure about that. Just keep this in mind if you use it: if you
ve got more
Out of memory

*before, KeyboardPro might be the culprit.

/From Adrian Freed <adrian@cnmat.berkeley.edu>.
The clocks in the Time To Go application from Extra Lead allow you to switch between 12 hour and 24 hour time with a single tap. There are three clocks (out of 11 apps in all):
D- an analog face, with 24 hour labels in Arabic and Roman numerals.
\- a full screen landscape digital clock (tap on the flashing second indicator for 24 hour).
U- a travel alarm style digital alarm clock (with a smaller 7-segment style display).
TimeToGo is a set of Newton MessagePad applications which solve timer problems (parking meters, eggs cooking, make your Newton into a Big Clock and a travel alarm clock) and also features a REPEATING ALARM !
TimeToGo will repeat any alarm you set in the datebook. When the normal datebook alarm goes off, if you don't respond to the Reminder panel that pops up, TimeToGo pops up another panel about 20 seconds later,
and continues to play Trill noises until you respond to it. Rude and persistent: you will never miss again an appointment (but it might be hard on your batteries).
TimeToGo will also launch other TimeToGo applications in a flash mode, so when you turn on your Newton you can get a quick glimpse of how much time is left on your parking meter without having to do anything
but tug at the on switch.

TimeWarp is a simple time tracking and reporting/billing program. You can use it to keep track of how much time you spend on different projects. This application started out as a quick-and-dirty tool that we
used in-house for time tracking and billing, and we've added features to it over time to make it more general. Current stable features include the ability to track up to 16 projects by activity and time spent.
You can also print or fax an invoice-style report, including signature ink and hourly and total pricing. Shareware. Takes up 57k installed.

This is a new version of the TMap Newton App that I created because the Fodor's Guide for the Newton does not contain a map of the Boston Subway system (known as the "T"). 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. The center button brings up the little About... box. You can also find T stations with the Find button.

TTime 1.3 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. This program has been tested on an original Newton with OS 1.05 and an MP110 OS 1.3.

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. You can add new users, change betweeen current

Even though PaperBack has got a lot of room for improvement, it is very very useful. It will allow you to download a lot of text into your MP in no time (it's way faster than making a NewtonBooB
The limitations are that all the text will be in the same font (but you can change this font at will on your MP), that you cannot download pictures (yet), and that the navigation tools are very basic: fast
forward/backward is only possible through a slider with about 20 positions (OK for small documents, but not enough for large ones) and no table of contents like in a NewtonBook (which allows convenient fast accD
ess to various parts of a book). Also, you can't print/beam/fax a page from the book-package generated by PaperBack.
PS: The "Find" problems of previous version have been fixed.

This program is a simple battery monitor which plays the orgasm sound from "When Harry Met Sally" when the charger is plugged in. The idea was shamelessly stolen from the PowerOrgasm extension for Apple PowerBB

Caveats:
* Powergasm eats up a lot of space.
* There doesn't appear to be a way to distinguish between a f
ully charged battery and a plugged in charger. This means that as you use a fully charged battery fluctuation in battery readings may cause spontaneous orgasms. If someone out there can tell me a way to tell D
precisely how to detect a charged, I'd be greatful.
* There are occaisional pops/clicks in the sound.
* Powergasm remembers where you dragged it between uses, but
forgets after a reset.
* The buttons are so sm

the lower parts of buttons only work marginally.

OzTelB
OzNUG, Robin SimpsonH
Communications
This (version 1.1) is the third_version of the first OzNUG group programming project - a program to convert current Australian telephone numbers to Austel's new 8 digit numbering scheme. Yes, all Australian Tel
ephone 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 chaC
nging 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 withD! the both area code and number).

This version of PM_Fix fixes data inconsistencies such as adding the missing indexes (-48013). It completely recreates your indexes for PocketMoney so if you have corrupted indexes it should fix them also. You B
should probably reset your Newton before running this program because it will need a lot of Heap to recreate the indexes and the more heap it has available the faster it will finishing processing. It also fixe
CHs the popup menus that were corrupted with version 1.33 of PocketMoney.

Calc & Scientific
Even though the Newton shipped with a built in calculator there was early demand for a scientific calculator. proCALC addresses other calculators shortcomings and provides several unique features including - Re
assignment of the Newton built in calculator icon (doesn't clutter the extras draw with its own icon). Aesthetic and functional emulation of a "real" calculator. (yes I know the off switch is a Newton user intC
erface crime but the HP33 didn't have a close box). Observation of operator precedence (ie 1+2*3 = 7 not 9). Over 50 Scientific and financial functions (inc DEC and HEX conversions) and more!
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 B
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. Alask
Caa and Hawaii do not have a map outlines, just buttons. My apologies to the 49th and 50th states.
Timer is a very simply little application that puts a digital timer on you Newton. Simply install it and open it from the extras drawer. START/STOP - Starts or stops the timer. Reset - Reset the timer to 00:00:
00. The close box does not stop the timer, it just closes the window. The timer will not use any battery power when closes, nor will it cause the Newton not to fall asleep.

Book of MormonC
Eric CarterH
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 newtB
on 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 N
ephi (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,D
