 Description:
 GCStat 1.1 - Small frames heap display for the Newton MessagePad. GCStat is
a small application that does a garbage collection, then displays the
amount of memory free in the frames heap. The display will appear in the
center of the screen for 2-3 seconds, then disappear. If you would like
the display to disappear sooner, just tap it. Addendum: To clarify the
utility of GCStat: The reason for the garbage collection is to get a more
accurate assessment of the frames heap. Doing manual garbage collection is
generally not needed, since the system will automatically garbage collect
when it senses the need to do so.

 Backdrop Plus 1.2 - is an alternative to the NotePad as the backdrop, or

that you can have more extensions and applications loaded at once, and you
will get fewer memory-related problems and restarts. Each loaded
application or extension takes up a small amount of heap. Since the
NotePad is not used all the time, closing it when not used means there's
more heap available the rest of the time. You should usually try to keep
your heap above 35-40k after a restart (it will drop lower as you use your
Newton. This is normal.).

 CardStyle 2.0 - CardStyle lets you assign the new default card style to the
name cards. CardStyle remembers the last time you changed the CardStyle and
uses what you changed it to for the new default card style the next time
you tap new. CardStyle also defaults the country field to your default
country when new name cards are created. This is a 30 day demo. A
registration code is required to continue use after 30 days.

 Name  =  NoPasswordInk 2.0
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NoPasswordInk 2.0
 Size: 12K         Date: 7/31/95
 Description:
 NoPasswordInk 2.0 - NoPasswordInk turns off the pen's ink when you enter
the password into the Newton's builtin password screen. This allows for
more security because you don't have to worry about people looking over
your shoulder while the Newton translates the ink into your password. You
can install this program on your card or internal memory, but it works
better if you install it internally. If you install it on the card then
you will have to wait for NoPasswordInk.pkg to be loaded before it is
useable. Installing internally the package will be loaded quicker so that
you can start writing your password right away without needing to wait for
the memory card to load.

remove Packages and Soups from the internal or PCMCIA card. Also, TrashPak
lets you remove entries from the System and Directory soups (can be fatal
if you remove the wrong entry, so be careful). The system soup is where
preferences for various packages are stored. The Directory soup is where
MetaData is stored. MetaData is the data that the NCK uses to display
soups for editting. WARNING - While the remove button gives you an chance
to change your mind (there is a confim dialog _ONLY_ if you check the
Confirm? checkbox in the preferences), undo is NOT supported. If you
remove it, it is gone!

 Description:
 Soup Mixer 2.11 - Soup Mixer is a soup manager for the Newton MessagePad.
It was created because of the poor quality or functionality of soup
managers that we looked at. Features include - Movement and duplication of
soups of varying stores. Deletion of soups. Emptying of soups (removal of
their entries). Hierarchical viewing of soup contents to the n-th level.

 NOH 1.12 - Names Overview Hack - NOH is an auto part that hacks the
overview of Newt's built-in Names app to show the entries in a way I like
better. Entries that are sorted by last name are listed as <Lastname>,
<Firstname> and entries that are sorted by company are listed as <Company>

 Note Man 1.1 - Note Man will allow you to bring the note pad to the front,
no matter what app you're using (so long as it's not a floating app like
the Mail Editor.) It will also allow you to close the note pad, saving a
few K of heap space. Note Man will place a small button in the upper left
or upper right of your screen (depending on whether you've installed the
(RT) or (LT) versions.) Tapping the button will bring the Note Pad to the
front if there's another app in front of it, or close it if it's in front.
Double tapping the button will switch it to the other side.

 Name  =  MultiNames 1.1
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MultiNames 1.1
 Size: 23K         Date: 6/20/95
 Description:
 MultiNames 1.1 - Loading too many names into addresses really slows you
down! I discovered a hack that lets you make the Names application open
other files. So now I can have more than one telephone file on the
Newton--like my old Sharp organizer that had three separate telephone
files. MultiNames lets you perform the same magic. There are two parts.
MultiNames itself is a autopart that changes the effect of tapping on the
Names button. If there are other contact files installed, a list of all
contact files pops up, and selecting one opens it in the Names
application. Names Utility lets you create or remove the other contact
files and provides some options for filling them.

 StewPot 1.1 - StewPot is a utility for dealing for soups. If you don't know
 what they are, you need to find out! Included is a document that explains
it all! Copy entries in a soup - or copy the entire soup to a new soup.
Move entries from one store to another (Newt to card, card to Newt) - or
move the entire soup from one store to another. See what apps add to your
Newt (and remove the stuff if they dont clean up after themselves!).
Create new slots, entries, and soups of your own. Modify the contents of
first and second level entry slots. Remove a single entry from a soup, or
all of them. Remove a soup entirely from a store. Print, Fax, or Mail a
printout of an entry. From Mark Underwood, NANUG president.

 Description:
 Trash Folder 1.0 - Trash Folder is a simple Newton application that lets
you delete all the notes from any folder you choose. You select a folder,
and Trash Folder will then delete every note it finds in that folder.
Trash Folder is useful if you want to delete old folders, or use one or
more folders for temporary items. For instance, I kept all of the source
code for Trash Folder in a temporary folder. When I was certain I was done
with the project I saved all the source to my Mac and then deleted all the
source from the temporary folder by using Trash Folder.

 Description:
 Sieve 1.0 - Sieve is a simple app that lets you run the standard sieve
benchmark which calculates a fixed number of prime numbers. My original
OMP ran the benchmark in about 143 seconds. My MP 100 runs it in about 65
seconds! Sieve was developed ON my Newton (not on a Macintosh or Windows
pc) using Steve Weyer's amazingly wonderful Newt 3.0 developement
platform. Newt 3.0 allows you to develop complete NewtonScript
applications that produce true Newton packages on your MessagePad. The
actual package was then extracted by synchronizing my Newton using the
Apple NCK and then pulling the package from it via the shareware
ExtractPackages 1.1. Sieve is a Standalone package.

problems. The first is -10401 errors which are caused by packages that are
partially installed. The second is -48205 errors when restoring from a

run the fixes if you are experiencing the errors. This package isn't a
cure all -- it fixes specific problems.

 More Folders 1.1 - More Folders is a utility to improve the accessibilty of
 the filing on the Newton, as well as to allow for more filing categories.
Normally, when you file an item, you tap on the the folder icon, and a
window pops up. You select the folder you want to file the item in, and
tap the File button. This seemed like a lot of work to me (I'm pretty lazy
;-) So now, when you want to file an item, you tap on the folder icon, and
a pop up list pops up. The current folder has a check mark next to it, and
you can file an item simply by tapping on the new folder. To edit your
folders, you tap on the Edit Folders item (the last one on the list.)
Included in the package is Scroll Menus, so that if you want more than...

than you will not be bugged by those annoying The current note is too
large. To start a new note, draw a line across the note pad. messages. If
a note gets too big (near the current free heap of the Newton) it will
start to slow down. The best policy is to always keep your note to at most
1/2 of the current free heap, and probably 1/3. To find your current note
size, tap the 'i' button at it's top. To get the current heap, try using
something like ICS's SleepAid (a very cool app, I gotta say.).

 Size: 20K         Date: 4/17/95
 Description:
 Longer 1.1- Longer lets you view and edit long text notes without some of
the Notepad's inconveniences. It was inspired in part by the Graffiti
Scratchpad. Basically Longer gives you scrolling capacity and avoids the
Notepad's limits on the length of text. You can import notes from the
Notepad and export back. You can also save your work into Longer's own
soup. Finally, Longer can copy the text contained in a Paperback package.
Although Longer scrolls more slowly than a Paperback package does, and
Longer text should probably be no more than 20k, Longer provides similar
capabilities - including Find - and in Longer you can modify the text.

 Scroll Menus 1.2 -Scroll menus is an auto part package (which means there's
 no icon in your extras drawer) which, when installed, will allow any menu
with too many items to fit on screen to scroll. If there are more items
after the items shown, tapping on Next will show the next screenful, and
tapping Prev will show the previous screen. The most common use for this
is the card app in the extras drawer. Now, if there are more than 23
packages installed on your newton, you can get to all of them to delete
those you no longer want. NOTE - There is a conflict with Hardy Macia's
ScrollingDoPopup package. It will only occur if it is installed after
Scroll Menus.

If such bad data exists, if could be causing -10401 errors when your
newton starts up or the storage card is inserted. PackFix will remove this
bad data and report to you it's findings. You probably only need to run it
every once in a while, or when you start getting -10401 errors. You should

Newton. 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.

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

your Names and Notes categories to 'All' whenever you reset your Newton.
That's all it does. It take up NO heap memory, and about 2kb of card or
internal memory. How does it work? QuickAll comes to life when you Reset
you Newton. It sneaks in and changes the filing settings of the NotePad

 Description:
 AddtoDict 2.13 - 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 multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. It also
has a couple of other goodies. 2.11 has some System management features

you can. Also, it's a welcome change from the Card 1, Card 2, and the
other boringly generic names that NCK creates when you synchronize. Names

letter, the entire word, or converting the entire note to lower case. It
places a button with an a in the status bar of the notepad. Tapping the
button will bring up a list of the three options, as described above.

 Name  =  Disabler 0.5b1
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Disabler 0.5b1
 Size: 16K         Date:11/28/94
 Description:
 Disabler 0.5b1 - Heuristically adjusts the clock on startup, reclaims up to
10K of system memory, and allows the user to disable all InstallScripts, or
just InstallScripts on a card. Disabling InstallScripts may help avoid
(temporarily) conflicts and Out of Memory errors. Some features require or
prefer that Disabler be installed internally; i.e., not on a memory card.
Disabling InstallScripts requires that Disabler be installed internally.
Disabling internal InstallScripts requires that it be the first package
installed internally. The clock adjustment heuristic may not work well
unless the package is installed internally, but should still be better
than nothing. Reclaiming memory should work fine anywhere.

 Description:
 Addcity 1.6 - Do you live in a city which does not show up on the map in
the Time Zones app? AddCity was originally written to allow me to add
Calgary, my home town, which wasn't in the original Newton (now it is).
Version 1.5 of AddCity adds support for adding multiple cities, using a
soup. Simple click AddCity, Enter the City name, latitude, longitude,
hours from gmt, country adn area code, then click I'm Here and you're set!
Version 1.5.1 of AddCity added support for multiple cities, using a soup.
This latest version, 1.6, adds full support for routing. You are able to

 Description:
 Store Keeper 1.0 - Store Keeper is a simple little package to change your
default store to the internal RAM whenever the calendar or names apps are
open, so that data entered there ends up on the internal memory rather
than the card. When the app is closed it then resets the default store to
whatever it was before it was opened. If, however, you open the names
file, for example, and then open the extras drawer and download a package
without reseting the default store via the card app, the package will end
up on the internal RAM.

 User Picker 1.1 - Did you ever want to share your Newton with a friend or
coworker, but couldn't 'cause the recognition would get all screwed up?
Well, the solution is here! With user picker, you can create as many
different 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 users, and delete old ones using the picker in the...

 Description:
 NameSelector 1.0 - This app replaces the funcionality of your names button.
It divides the button into two parts. Tapping on the bottom part of the
button brings up the name file, just like normal. Tapping on the upper
part, however, brings up a small window. Write the letter of the name

 Size: 19K         Date:10/13/94
 Description:
 CardFile++ 1.0 - This application is a recreation of the built-in Names
application which takes advantage of two types of learning. It supports
only the detailed Show All view. It is compatible with the built-in Names
application. The application was written for research purposes and
therefore does not contain all the features of a full-blown application,
such as overviews, routing, filing, and intelligent assistance. However,
since cardFile++ is completely compatible with the original Names app, all
of these unimplemented functions can be accomplished through it. The
advantage of cardFile++ over the original Names application is in the
entering of the name data. This process is much more efficient and...

 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:RoadShow 1.01
 Size: 22K         Date:10/09/94
 Description:
 RoadShow 1.01 - RoadShow is an application for Newton to help make it
easier to configure your PDA's sound and sleep time. Currently, to change
the volume, sound effects and sleep time, you need to go through a
somewhat cumbersome interaction with the Prefs application. With RoadShow,
it becomes easier to switch from being at home and being on the road. With
RoadShow, you can configure your Newton's - sounds effects, volume, sleep
time and system alarm sound for the two locations, and switch very simply
between them. Requires 1.05 or later version of the Newton operating
system.

 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:App Mem 2.1
 Size: 18K         Date:10/09/94
 Description:
 App Mem 2.1 - App Memory is a shareware 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. Some applications may
malfunction or ask for a registration number again. If one does,...

 MacStartupSoundPacks - These files are extensions for use with
SleepSoundPro. If you don't have SleepSoundPro currently installed on your
Newton, STOP NOW. It's useless to install these without SleepSoundPro
(SSP). A ReadMe file for SleepSoundPro is included with this file if you'd
like more info. On a Newton with SleepSoundPro already installed, simply
install the desired sound. There are four sound files included in this
package. They're the startup beeps from 4 major Macintosh models; the 128,
II, Quadra and Power Macintosh. Once installed, select the desired sound
from the SleepSoundPro Formula panel. You can use any sound for either
sleep or wakeup. Shareware.

 Description:
 ScratchPad 2.0 - This little funware app makes scratching sounds as you
stroke the stylus over the ScratchPad. Simulates the sound made by
scratching a needle on a record, popularized in some forms of modern
music, especially contemporary urban. When records can no longer be found,
we'll have to rely on our Newtons! This version adds many user-selectable
scratch sounds and effects like handclaps and cowbells. This thing is a

sleep when Newton's AC adapter is powering it. No matter what sleep time
you have set, Newton will remain alive. No Sleep Main Features - No Sleep
is the only Newton keep-on-if-plugged-in program that does not alter
Newton Internal things to function. No Sleep lets you have your own Power

 Size: 13K         Date: 9/03/94
 Description:
 MagicApp 1.1 - MagicApp is an indispensible program that allows you to move
and copy programs from a Newton to a storage card and copy programs from
one storage card to another with the tap of a pen. Load onto INTERNAL
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...

 Description:
 What Error 1.1 - Thanks for trying What Error? A while back I put out a
newton book that listed all the errors in the newton, as documented by the
beta version of the Newton Toolkit. Since the new version has come out
(with a whole bunch of new errors,) I haven't had a chance to update the
book. I decided rather than updating it, I would redo it's interface. Now,
whenever an error occurs, the notification box that comes up will tell you
the type of error at the top of the box, and a somewhat more in depth
description below. These descriptions are straight out of the Newton

Newton. When you tap on BookCase, it'll show you a list of all of your
books, in case you feel like reading, but don't want to look all over the
Extras drawer. Also, a handy feature is that you can choose to hide the

 Description:
 Bookcase - This is another hack from Bill Kearney. It just lists all the
books currently installed in your Newton and lets you open them by
clicking on their name from it's list. The Find Only in Books box does
just that. It limits the find function to looking only in ALL books and
nowhere else. It's only while you're in Bookcase or in one of the books
you've opened. Shareware, $5.

 Description:
 CopyMachine 1.01 - Before you have a RAM card (PCMCIA card), all of your
notes, to do's, addresses and calendar things are stored on the Newton's
internal memory. Once you obtain a PCMCIA card, there is no easy way to
transfer your personal data to the card (to free internal memory or what
have you). CopyMachine lets you do just that. After you launch it, it
shows how many notes, addresses...you have, and where they are stored. You
can then transfer all or some of the items to the PCMCIA card. Or from the
card to the internal storage. This was originally written to help those

 Size: 21K         Date: 5/30/94
 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.

 BetterFind 1.0 - Better Find is a Newton package which improves Find a
little bit by making it behave more like Assist - if you select some text,

 Name  =  Books Off 2.0
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Books Off 2.0
 Size:  7K         Date: 5/12/94
 Description:
 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 time
becomes very short. Of course, if there is a time that the data in the
digital book is required, BooksOff can be easily turned on or off.

 Description:
 Memfree 0.91 - MemFree shows the amount of memory free as reported by
stats() -- that is, the amount of the NewtonScript heap that's free. The
number is kept up to date by a viewIdleScript (as long as the checkbox is
checked) and the GC button can be used to force a garbage collection if
you want to know the amount of memory that can be made free. It's (in my
opinion) a mildly annoying aspect of stats() that it prints more
information in the inspector window than it returns as a call. For that
reason, if you have the inspector open while MemFree is running, you will
get the output of the stats() call every 3 seconds. Source code is
included.

 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.

 Memory 1 and 2 - The memory utility provides a way to modify and change the
current frames heap memory. When you run memory it will monitor how much
frames heap is available every .5 seconds and display this information. It
will also keep track of the minimum amount of memory it sees. There are
two versions of memory. Memory2 will allow you to change how much memory
is available. This is intended to help developers test for low memory
conditions. You can only load one version of memory at a time. You can
test for low memory conditions in your applications by tapping the down
arrow. This will take away an additional 2000 bytes of memory each time
you tap it. You can return this memory by tapping the up arrow.

 Description:
 Rebate - Rebate returns some of the memory used on an original Newton
MessagePad when applications are loaded. In that version of Newton, the
install scripts and icon for an application took up place in the working
memory or frames heap. Load lots of applications and the loss of the
memory could be significant. Load this application as the first
application in internal memory and you should have more memory. Owners of
MessagePad 100s (and upgraded MessagePads) and 110s do not need this
program. By Chris Christensen. Takes up 3k on the Newton. 2/21/94.

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 included
with the OnSet archive. Make sure that you install OnSet first and then
later install the other packages or you will crash your Newton. After
downloading the package, just open your prefs roll and select Power-On

 Description:
 HeapIt 1.0 - HeapIt is a small utility for the Newton MessagePad that
removes InstallScripts from the system heap. The Newton OS leaves the
install scripts in the heap, even though they are only used once. We're
not sure why it does this, but if you have 10-20 apps installed, that's a
lot of heap space! HeapIt also provides a heap space display on the
Card/Backup slip and allows you to run HeapIt from there.When you run
HeapIt, it will list the available heap space (HeapIt uses some of the

 SoupAway 0.01 - The purpose of this application is to allow the user to
purge his/her MessagePad of left over soups from no-longer resident
applications. Back up first. If you use this application, you could lose

 Description:
 Button - The Button 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
offers to improve on my artwork.

 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

status - charged battery - high volume, 25 percent of battery - low

 Name  =  Password
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Password
 Size:  6K         Date:12/12/93
 Description:
 Password - Password is a small utility for quickly turning on an off
password protection on the Newton. Its icon in the extras drawer indicates
whether password protection is currently turned on or off. Click on its
icon to toggle the state. The built-in way of turning on/off password
protection is somewhat cumbersome, especially if you do it often. To turn
off password protection you use Prefs, enter your old password, and leave
the new password line blank. To turn password protection back on, you
return to Prefs and reenter your password. The Password utility is so much
easier!! Use of Password is free of charge.

 Name  =  KillFind 0.4
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:KillFind 0.4
 Size:  7K         Date:12/05/93
 Description:
 KillFind 0.4 - Well, I don't know about you, but I really hate it when the
Newton goes wandering around in World looking for stuff. I basically only
want the Newton to search the Names and the Notes. With the advent of
books, it's a HUGE inconvenience waiting for it to finish with The Jungle
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!!

 Name  =  Skip 1.0
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Skip 1.0
 Size: 11K         Date:11/22/93
 Description:
 Skip 1.0 - Introducing Skip 1.0, the complete version of the first truly
useful utility for the Newton MessagePad and ExpertPad. Skip is a Styles
shortcut. With Skip installed, the Styles palette is always one tap away,
yet Skip never gets in your way. Skip utilizes the unused space on the
touchscreen which does not cover the active display. Tapping in the upper
left or right corners of your screen will activate Skip and bring forth
the Styles palette. To use Skip, install the appropriate Skip package with
your connection kit. If you want Skip to reside in the top left corner,
install SkipLeft.pkg. For the top right, install SkipRight.pkg.

 Name  =  Beep Beep
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Beep Beep
 Size:  9K         Date:11/17/93
 Description:
 Beep Beep - This is a Newton demo of using sounds and picture resources
directly found in the ROM. It is FiggleWare so if you think its cool, drop
the author a line at [e-mail] and let her know how it went.

 Name  =  Strainer 0.8
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Strainer 0.8
 Size: 15K         Date:11/15/93
 Description:
 Strainer 0.8 - Strainer 0.8 is the latest release of the Strainer utility,
adding several new features. Strainer is designed to let you easily mark
and remove entries from your Newton's storage. This can help you to get
around a bug in the Datebook which makes it difficult to delete certain
entries, or to remove outdated entries in order to keep as much memory
free as possible. New features in version 0.8 - You can now mark entries
in multiple soups and strain them all at once; now handles straining of
items on storage cards, if present; Strainer now has dialogs to ask you
what you want to do if you close the app before straining out the entries
you have marked, and more.

 Name  =  Souper 1.1
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Souper 1.1
 Size: 31K         Date:11/15/93
 Description:
 Souper 1.1 - As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton,
I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file (Soup)
easily. I had to delete each record (Entry) individually, so I started to
write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I
began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have
grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability
to select the Store on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to
operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete an entire Soup, Clear all
entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions
Rename, Remove, and Clear operate as you would expect.

 Name  =  Rebooter
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Rebooter
 Size:  5K         Date:11/03/93
 Description:
 Rebooter - Here's a little Newton utility. It's only function is to allow
you to reboot the Newton from the extras drawer. It puts up a simple
dialog and beeps to warn that it will reboot the machine. If you close it,
it won't, and if you hit the reboot button it will do the deed.

 Name  =  PlaceSettings
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:PlaceSettings
 Size:  8K         Date:11/03/93
 Description:
 PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the
author lives in Seattle and his city isnt in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he
could choose Portland, but it just wasnt right. Also, he prefers using the
24-hour time, and didnt want to choose a French Canadian locale to get it.
Place settings helps you tell the Newton where you really live (you'll have
to know the lattitude and longitude or your local airport), and how you
like your time (12 hour or 24 hour). Complete instructions are included.

 Name  =  AutoDict 1.1
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:AutoDict 1.1
 Size: 10K         Date:11/03/93
 Description:
 AutoDict 1.1 - Have you ever added people to your Newton Names list using
Newton Connection on the Macintosh? Or have you managed to transfer your
contacts from your company database into your Newton Connection Software?
And then you wanted to call or fax somone and Newton didn't recognize the
name correctly? So you had to add it to your word list (i.e. user
dictionary) manually?!?! Never again! AutoDict automagically scans your
Names soup for new entries and adds the corresponding names (Company,
First, Last,..) to your word list. So the next time after you download new
addresses from your Mac just go to the Extras drawer, tap AutoDict and tap
the Add Names to Dictionary button. Then Newton will recognize...

 Name  =  Sam's Sleeper 1.00
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Sam's Sleeper 1.00
 Size:  8K         Date:11/03/93
 Description:
 Sam's Sleeper 1.00 - Sam's Sensable Sleeper, when turned on, detects
whether you are operating by plug or by battery. You may then set the
sleep time on your Newton based on whether you are using the plug or the
battery. Thus, if most of the time you use the plug (at your office where
your plug is, perhaps), you can set sleep to never. When you then carry it
around off the plug, you can have the sleep be, say, 1 minute. This way,
you don't have to always dive through a zillion menus just to reset the
sleep. You do it once with this package and the package will do it for you
from then on (if you turn it on).

 Name  =  Mini tools
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Mini tools
 Size: 10K         Date: 8/31/93
 Description:
 Mini tools - Tools for checking memory and entering Newton Script into the
Newton. Welcome to the Newton mini-tools. This collection of freeware tools
 will grow in time. For this first release, there are two different Newton
applications for you to enjoy - Memory Massager - The prime purpose of this
is to call a garbage collection in your Newton's memory. In theory, this
should get rid of all the dross hanging around. NewtonScriptRunner - This
is a slightly modified version of one of the demos provided with the
Newton Toolkit. NewtonScript, which is the language used to program Newton
systems, can be compiled and run on the fly, and this little utility
allows you to do just this.

 Name  =  MemoryMassager
 Path =  PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MemoryMassager
 Size:  7K         Date: 8/23/93
 Description:
 MemoryMassager - The prime purpose of this is to call a garbage collection
in your Newton's memory. In theory, such a garbage collection should get
rid of all the dross hanging around, and you may find that this staves off
the need to restart from time to time (when using version 1.02 of the
Newton OS). It incidentally includes information about free and total
memory, battery power, and battery compartment temperature, all of which
are available in other tools on the Newton. However, try tapping on the
temperature bar... Everything else should be self-explanatory.
