Name = AddCity 1.6 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:AddCity 1.6 Size: 20K Date:10/29/94 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 fax, print, mail, and beam a city to your friends around the world. Name = AddToDict 2.1.3 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:AddToDict 2.1.3 Size: 19K Date: 2/01/95 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 and automatic addition from your Notes and Names. Take a look at the Pro features. They give you a look at the potential of a future Professional version. Name = AddressAccess 1.61e Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:AddressAccess 1.61e Size:207K Date: 8/07/96 Description: AddressAccess 1.61e - supplies an easy and efficient interface to the cards stored in your Newton - no more using the slow overview function to find a person's address. Features - Sort your cards by first name, last name or company, comfortable editor for easily changing or adding cards with optional non-floating keyboard - quick searching: only enter the first few characters of name you are looking for - supports NOS2.0 systems - use a lot of 2.0-names-fields even with 1.x systems. Address is formatted according to the country. - Direct dialing of phone numbers without any further dialogs, Direct beaming of cards. - Direct beaming of your card - together with i++ V1.10 or higher on 2.0-systems: - create a new... Name = AddressAccess 1.61d Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:AddressAccess 1.61d Size:197K Date: 8/07/96 Description: AddressAccess 1.61d - kann als Ergnzung oder als Ersatz des im Newton integrierten Karteiprogramms verwendet werden. Die Oberflche bietet einen effizienten Zugriff auf die gespeicherten Karteikarten. Auerdem bietet das Programm: Komfortabler Editor der auch auf Newton1.x Systemen viele Felder von NOS2.0 bereitstellt. Sortieren nach Vorname, Nachname oder Firma. Adressen werden abhngig vom jeweiligem Land formatiert. Exportieren von Karteikarten in den Notizblock. Newton2.0 wird untersttzt. Wechsel in die eingebaute Kartei. es werden dieselben Daten genutzt, wie bei der integrierten Kartei, direktes Whlen einer Telefonnummer ohne weitere Dialogboxen, direktes Beamen einer Karte - ebenfalls ohne... Name = All Thumbs 0.5 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:All Thumbs 0.5 Size: 16K Date: 2/28/95 Description: All Thumbs 0.5 - 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 and drag button. Their functions are pretty obvious. Tap, hold and then drag the grey area and you can move All Thumbs anywhere on the screen. All Thumbs will close automatically when you close the book. Please note that this is a demo version of this package and it will expire 30 days after you install it. This version will totally expire on 12/31/95 and will not let you install or use it after that date. Shareware. Name = Animal Sounds Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Animal Sounds Size: 69K Date: 2/11/97 Description: Animal Sounds - this 100k package contains a variety of short animal noises. All of these packages will register new sounds for your Newton. Various programs like our upcoming 'ChatBuddy', our programmers tool 'PackageBeeper', and the built in Newton Alarms let users select from the registered sounds for different notices. Adding one of these packages will extend the number of sounds you can choose. Name = App Mem 2.1 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,... 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 = BSaver 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BSaver 1.0 Size: 10K Date: 2/03/94 Description: BSaver 1.0 - This package checks the battery level every 60 seconds and adjusts the sound volume to match your preferences. (High sound settings drain the battery). Bsaver Sets your sound volume according to battery status - charged battery - high volume, 25 percent of battery - low volume. This package works in background until you tap again on it's icon in the extra drawer. Features - Actual battery level is now a real time indicator, percent added on each slider, no more error or reset when removing - reinstall, now enable and disable receive beam automatically if needed and shows state in the extraDrawer. Name = BackDrop+ 1.2 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BackDrop+ 1.2 Size: 77K Date: 3/31/96 Description: Backdrop Plus 1.2 - is an alternative to the NotePad as the backdrop, or background, application for the Newton. With the NotePad closed, you save as much as 10k in heap (similar to RAM on a desktop machine.) This means 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.). Name = Backpak 1.11 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Backpak 1.11 Size: 11K Date: 7/17/96 Description: BackPak 1.1 - is a simple application launching utiltiy. The idea is to make BackPak the Backdrop application and use it, not the Extras drawer, to open applications. BackPak use much less memory than the Extras drawer (or the NotePad) when used as the Backdrop application. Open the Extras drawer and hold the pen down on top of BackPak until it is hilited. Open the action button (the one inthe lower right) and select Make Backdrop. BackPak will be made your Backdrop appliaction. When you close all other applications, BackPak will be there, not the Notes application (the Notepad). Once you open BackPak, you will notice a virtually blank screen. All you have to do is Show the applications you want. Simply tap the... Name = BarFly 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BarFly 1.0 Size: 18K Date:10/23/94 Description: BarFly 1.0 - Barfly provides a floating button for use with TPS barcode wands and the Apple Newton series of products. After installing on your Newton, Connect a TPS Barcode wand to the Newton. Tap the barcode icon which will appear in your extras drawer. You will be rewarded with a floating box sporting a barcode and an infodot. You may drag this button to a convenient corner or center of you screen. To begin scanning, tap the infodot and then select Begin Scanning from the popup picker. Tap in any text field to bring up a text insertion cursor, then swipe a barcode. If the barcode was scanned successfully, the barcode will be inserted at the cursor location. Tapping the barcode on the floating box re-enters... 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 erica@cc.gatech.edu and let her know how it went. Name = BetterFind 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BetterFind 1.0 Size: 5K Date: 5/29/94 Description: 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, then open Find, the text will be placed in the Find window. This makes it easier to search for text that is already entered in your Newton. Freeware. Takes up 5k once installed. Name = BigNotes 1.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BigNotes 1.01 Size: 15K Date: 4/18/95 Description: BigNotes 1.01 - Big Notes is a hack for the built in Note Pad application. It will allow notes up to 8 times bigger than the built in software (up to 32k.) You will not see any change in the behavior of the note pad, other 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.). Name = Bookcase Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Bookcase Size: 5K Date: 6/20/94 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. Name = Bookcase 1.2 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Bookcase 1.2 Size: 7K Date: 8/15/94 Description: Bookcase 1.2 - This is a helpful program if you have alot of books on your 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 books from the Extras Drawer - freeing up precious real estate! Also, make sure all of your books are showing in the Extras drawer before backing up with the Connectivity kit. By Michael Tibbott. Compatible with NewtCase. 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. Name = Brain 2.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Brain 2.0 Size: 11K Date: 2/09/94 Description: Brain 2.0 - Battery Brain for Newtons monitors your battery level and can alert you if the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold. If you've used your Newton a lot, you already know how quickly it can eat through batteries. But, you will probably be surprised at how fast your battery life decreases once your batteries drop below a certain level. Battery Brain monitors that decrease and will warn you as your batteries become weaker and weaker. Battery Brain will also automatically turn off sounds and the Receive beams automatically setting at user defined levels to help conserve battery power. This version is a complete rewrite from the ground up, with many changes! Name = BuiltIn Sounds Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BuiltIn Sounds Size: 2K Date: 2/11/97 Description: BuiltIn Sounds - this 2k package adds sounds, built in to the Newton, to the list of sounds you can use. Like the Extras opening, an item getting trashed, the hilite sound and more. All of these packages will register new sounds for your Newton. Various programs like our upcoming 'ChatBuddy', our programmers tool 'PackageBeeper', and the built in Newton Alarms let users select from the registered sounds for different notices. Adding one of these packages will extend the number of sounds you can choose. Name = BulletProof Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:BulletProof Size: 8K Date: 9/14/95 Description: BulletProof - Includes two Newton applications - Newton Rebooter and Newton Sleeper. Rebooter will allow you to reboot your Newton without having to pull off your battery cover. Rebooter also has two additional buttons. One is labeled GC and will do a garbage collecton on your Frame Heap memory recovering any unused memory. The Sleep button will cause your Newton to sleep or power off. Newton Sleeper - Sleeper is a button on the Notepad satus bar that will allow the Newton to sleep immediately when the button is tapped. Name = Button 0.9b1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Button 0.9b1 Size: 8K Date: 2/24/94 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. Name = CEP 2.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:CEP 2.01 Size: 71K Date:12/14/95 Description: Catamount Enhancement Pack 2.01 - Contains 7 applications from Hardy Macia/Catamount, for the Newton 1.x and 2.0 PDA. Contains - Expansion, Igor, NameDropper, NoteHopper, NoteScroller, PlainJane and Writer's Calc. See the Readme files that are included with each program for additional details. Name = Capitalizor 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Capitalizor 1.0 Size: 6K Date:12/08/94 Description: Capitalizor 1.0 - Simple hack, as per request. Capitalizor changes the case of every word in the current note, either capitalizing only the first 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 = CardFile 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:CardFile 1.0 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... Name = CardStyle 2.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:CardStyle 2.0 Size: 11K Date: 7/31/95 Description: 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 = Chat Sounds Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Chat Sounds Size: 16K Date: 2/11/97 Description: Chat Sounds - this 22k package contains Chat sounds used in our ChatBuddy IRC client. All of these packages will register new sounds for your Newton. Various programs like our upcoming 'ChatBuddy', our programmers tool 'PackageBeeper', and the built in Newton Alarms let users select from the registered sounds for different notices. Adding one of these packages will extend the number of sounds you can choose. Name = Commuter 2.5 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Commuter 2.5 Size: 18K Date: 3/16/94 Description: Commuter 2.5 - Tired of going to the Time Zones app on your Newton when you commute bewteen two different area codes? Tired of not seeing your home town represented in your Newton? Tired of Newton not knowing your area code? Then Commuter is for you. Commuter not only allows you to quickly change your location in the world clock (Time Zones) application, but you can also add your own cities to Commuter. Although these cities will not show up in the Time Zones app, they will be used by the Dialing Assistant to figure out whether or not to dial long distance. Commuter uses Newton's Intelligent Assistant. If you write Commute to San Francisco, select it and Tap Assist then Commuter will change your location to San... Name = CopyMachine 1.0.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:CopyMachine 1.0.1 Size: 10K Date: 6/15/94 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 who were using a US Newton, and then obtained a local (German or..) Newton, and wanted to transfer their personal items without backing... Name = DataRescue Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:DataRescue Size: 6K Date:11/19/96 Description: DataRescue - Experience tragically shows that the most vulnerable part of your beloved Newton MessagePad is its display. In the case of a damaged display it is not possible to write anything on it anymore. You cannot even get your data back! This little package does nothing but automatically open the Connection slip and wait for your desktop machine to get into contact. You will then be able to back up your data from the desktop using the Newton Backup Utilities or similar software. Data Rescue does so when it is installed, e.g. when a card is inserted or the MessagePad is reset. Of course, you will not want to have this active all the time, but in an emergency case it can be installed via a... 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. Name = Drag 3.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Drag 3.0 Size: 13K Date: 7/31/95 Description: Drag 3.0 - Drag makes windows draggable. The Find and Assist windows can now be moved along with many other windows (Connection, InBox, OutBox, Card, CallSlip, DateSlip and it even works with some non-builtin programs such as QuickMoney). Big deal? Well, have you ever tried Find in the Names just to discover you can't see the data you wish to look at because the Name card is in All Info view instead of Card and Notes view. So, you have to close the Find window switch the Show setting and then Find again. If you have 500+ names you probably wish you could just drag the Find window instead of re-finding the data again. Name = EditCities Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:EditCities Size: 14K Date:10/03/95 Description: EditCities - This auto part adds functionality to the 'Time Zones' app, allowing users to edit the locations (Apple are you listening?). Changes persist across resets. It also fixes the UK international code from 010 to 00. Install like any other package. No icon will appear in the Extras drawer. Tap 'Time Zones'. Tap the new button marked 'x' to the left of I'm Here. From here you're on your own - plug & play. If you mess everything up, use a suitable soup editor (e.g. StewPot) to remove the EditCities entry from the System soup. You don't need to remove EditCities itself - it will revert to using the built-in locations again. This package supercedes my ExtraCities, recently reviewed in _protoReality. Name = ExtrasMgr 1.2.2 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ExtrasMgr 1.2.2 Size: 32K Date:10/19/94 Description: ExtrasMgr 1.22 - ExtrasMgr is a Newton utility that facilitates the organization of your Extras Drawer. Three main objectives guided this application - Allow access to all installed applications in the internal and external stores. Provide a shortcut way to get to your most frequently used applications via a button in the Notes application. Provide additional ways to view your applications lists by allowing you to organize your applications in folders and by using the sorting order of your preference. Name = GCStat-1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:GCStat-1.1 Size: 5K Date: 5/12/97 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. Name = Grouper Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Grouper Size: 14K Date: 6/12/95 Description: Grouper - Here is the package you have been waiting for. Do you have a lot of names in your name file? Does it take forever to change from one folder to another? Are there never enough folders for all of your projects? Well here is the fix to the problems above and more. Grouper allows you to create groups of names and their phone numbers for quick and easy access. At a glance you can see all of the names and numbers that belong to a group. Name = HeapIt 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:HeapIt 1.0 Size: 11K Date: 3/13/94 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 heap itself when it runs). If you wish to purge the heap of InstallScripts, click on the Kill All InstallScripts button. HeapIt will remove the InstallScripts one by one, updating the heap status as it... Name = HnewTML 1.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:HnewTML 1.01 Size: 52K Date:12/17/95 Description: HnewTML 1.01 - HnewTML is a helper application for Steve Weyer and Greg Simon's NewtsCape which lets you create Newton Books on the Newton from HTML-formatted text. HnewTML allows you to easily HTML format text on the Newton's Notepad. HnewTML can be used alone to format HTML text that can then be sent via email to your pc or Mac in order to create web pages. However, HnewTML is of most use when used in conjunction with NewtsCape, in that it makes creation of Newton Books ON the Newton easier and faster. HnewTML's interface consists of two buttons. One button brings up a hierarchical picker that allows you to format text. The other button allows you to quickly launch NewtsCape and sends the formatted text to... Name = ICSFixer 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ICSFixer 1.0 Size: 10K Date: 5/22/95 Description: Fixer 1.0 - Dan threw this one together to fix two package related problems. The first is -10401 errors which are caused by packages that are partially installed. The second is -48205 errors when restoring from a backup that contains a soup and package of the same name. You should only run the fixes if you are experiencing the errors. This package isn't a cure all -- it fixes specific problems. Name = IceBox1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:IceBox1.0 Size: 11K Date: 2/03/94 Description: IceBox1.0 - IceBox contains two programs to make life easier with the Newton. The Newton will only let you see and access 30 programs from the Extras drawer. IceBox gets around that. It presents a scrolling list of your programs, allowing you to open those that you can't see in the drawer. Also included is minimize, which lets you have access at all times to the your list of programs. You must install these two before you've hit the limit of 30 (so you can see them and launch em). Caution, I've heard that loading up your Newton can cause a System Heap problem, and problems down the road. Just don't put 60 programs on!! If you start noticing problems (rebooting often...), just reduce your amount of... Name = Igor 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Igor 1.0 Size: 5K Date:12/14/95 Description: Igor 1.0 - IGOR speeds up Intelligent Assistant and removes the 15 word limitation on a phrase. Newton Intelligent Assistant is a good idea, but the performance under 1.x of the Newton OS was unbearable. Newton OS 2.0 fixes some problems, but there are still a few things that can be improved. IGOR was written to overcome these problems. Only applications that register with IGOR will see the performance improvement. Works with 1.x and 2.0. 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 = LCD Check Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:LCD Check Size: 4K Date:10/31/96 Description: LCD Check.pkg - Use this for Checking secondhand Newton's LCD. By Tomoyoshi Murai. Name = Labels 2.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Labels 2.1 Size: 65K Date: 6/21/95 Description: Labels 2.1 - Labels v2.1 is a US$20 ShareWare program. It allows you to take names from your Names application and add them to a list of Labels to print. You can setup the contents and layout of the labels. You can add and delete items from the label and even set style, size and font of each item in the label. You can setup the number of labels on a page and create your own Formats, with a max. of 4 coloms by 10 rows. You can set border size, gutter and offset in the Format. You can specify on which label position you start to print for the first page. The following pages will start at the top. Name = Librarian 1.5 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Librarian 1.5 Size: 47K Date: 7/31/95 Description: Librarian 1.5 - Librarian fixes several problems with the built in bookmaker, and addresses the (possible) need for one-handed book reading. It saves all information about the current book when you close it, so that when you next open it, you will be at the same page and your bookmarks and ink notations will still be intact (even after a Restart). In addition, it places a small toggle switch next to the page number at the bottom which, when on, will make the power switch turn the page, enabling you to read a book with only one hand (and no stylus.) Name = List By Changer Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:List By Changer Size: 5K Date: 5/28/95 Description: List By Changer - This was requested by DigiWold in the Forums. See, we DO listen. All it does is go through and change the List By index on each name in the selected folder. It's free, from Stand Alone. Name = Longer 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Longer 1.1 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. Name = Mac Sounds Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Mac Sounds Size: 15K Date: 2/11/97 Description: Mac Sounds - this 18k package contains the basic set of Macintosh System 7 sounds. It's also nice if you are chatting with Mac users and want to hear the sounds they are playing. All of these packages will register new sounds for your Newton. Various programs like our upcoming 'ChatBuddy', our programmers tool 'PackageBeeper', and the built in Newton Alarms let users select from the registered sounds for different notices. Adding one of these packages will extend the number of sounds you can choose. Name = MacStartupSoundPacks Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MacStartupSoundPacks Size: 60K Date:10/08/94 Description: 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. Name = MagicApp 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MagicApp 1.1 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... Name = Memfree 0.91 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Memfree 0.91 Size: 11K Date: 5/08/94 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. Name = Memory 1 and 2 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Memory 1 and 2 Size: 8K Date: 4/28/94 Description: 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. 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. 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 = MoreFolders 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MoreFolders 1.1 Size: 32K Date: 4/19/95 Description: 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... 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. Name = MyLocale Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:MyLocale Size: 16K Date: 5/02/95 Description: MyLocale - This allows the people in Japan, Austria, Switzerland and other countries that will not have localized version of the Newton created for them to modify their Newton's country locale setting to display their country's currency and number formats. This is free for PocketMoney and MPG users. This also works with programs such as ExpensePlus. If you are using it with ExpensePlus I ask you to please pay the registration fee. Otherwise, it's shareware, $10. Name = NDcrypt 1.6 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NDcrypt 1.6 Size: 13K Date:10/03/95 Description: NDcrypt 1.6 - NDcrypt v1.6 is an application that allows you to encrypt / decrypt the Notes in your NotePad application. The current Note is the note at the top of the screen. If a Note is coded, you'd want to know how it's coded. <UnRd> stands for Unreadable. <PsWd> stands for Password. With password coded Notes, there will always be a comment. You can determine the content of the comment yourself. If you don't select comment, the comment will be No comment. If you do select comment, you'll get the 12 first characters of the Note as a default, but you can change this into any text you want. This is FreeWare. If you like the app, send the author an e-mail. Name = NGP Mac 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NGP Mac 1.0 Size: 54K Date:10/28/96 Description: Newton Graphics Package for Macintosh 1.0 - Object Drawing Program for Macintosh.

Get your Newton Pictures on your Mac. Name = NMP 0.91 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NMP 0.91 Size:108K Date: 5/21/95 Description: NMP 0.91 - NMP is the Newton Movie Player 0.91 for Newton! This version of the Newton Movie Player (NMP) is a freeware application for displaying animation frames. NMP will attempt to play a film back in real-time. Since NMP relinquishes control back to the operating system periodically (to help preserve battery life and allow for normal background operating system functions), real-time playback is not guaranteed. You can help NMP out by closing the Extras Drawer after launching NMP. In any event, playback speed is quite good. The film included in the demo was captured with the Connectix QuickCam in 1-bit mode. The resulting QuickTime video was broken apart and imported into the NMP application. Running... Name = NMP Morph 0.91 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NMP Morph 0.91 Size: 38K Date: 5/21/95 Description: NMP Morph 0.91 - NMP is the Newton Movie Player 0.91 for Newton! This version of the Newton Movie Player (NMP) is a freeware application for displaying animation frames. NMP will attempt to play a film back in real-time. Since NMP relinquishes control back to the operating system periodically (to help preserve battery life and allow for normal background operating system functions), real-time playback is not guaranteed. You can help NMP out by closing the Extras Drawer after launching NMP. In any event, playback speed is quite good. The film included in this demo was created by scanning 2 photographs. They are both pictures of me in 1968 and 1983. I used Gryphon Software's Morph... Name = NOH 1.12 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NOH 1.12 Size: 21K Date: 6/22/95 Description: 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> (<Firstname> <Lastname>). If it does anything else, it's a bug. Name = NameIndexer 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NameIndexer 1.1 Size: 7K Date: 2/15/95 Description: NameIndexer 1.1 - NameIndexer adds an option to the Names Button that, when clicked in the bottom half of the button, pops up the alphabet to zap you to the first entry starting with that letter in the Names File. It also offers you the option of quickly creating a new card in just one step. It uses less than 10K of uncompressed RAM and just a few hundred bytes of system heap. We hope you find this program useful and problem free. However, we are not responsible for any problems or damage resulting from its use or misuse. The program is shareware and can be registered for a mere $4.99, or five bucks if you feel better thinking about money that way. Although inexpensive, we are serious about this shareware fee... Name = NameSelector 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NameSelector 1.0 Size: 8K Date:10/14/94 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 you'd like to go to, and the name file will open (if it's not already open) and move the index to the right name (so it's selected in the overview.) Name = NameStart 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NameStart 1.0 Size: 10K Date: 2/16/95 Description: NameStart 1.0 - NameStart was formerly Names To All Overview. This mini-app will automatically set your name file to open to all names and in whatever mode you select when the Newton is restarted. This reduces the time to open the names app (since it doesn't have to search through all your folders.) The modes, with their associated packages, are - Card, Card and Notes, All Info, Overview (full screen) and Overview (half screen). Name = NewButton-JYopp Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:NewButton-JYopp Size: 5K Date: 3/26/96 Description: NewButton-JYopp.pkg - Freeware.

The Password utility is so much easier!! Use of Password is free of charge. 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.

Name = RoadShow 1.01 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. Name = Safe Guard 1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Safe Guard 1 Size: 11K Date: 2/24/94 Description: Safe Guard 1 - Safe Guard is a utility that allows you to password protect your PCMCIA cards. In order to use the card, the person inserting the card must enter the password. In order to use, tap the Safe Guard icon in the Extras Drawer. Tap the Password button and enter your password to use. Now whenever the card is put into a Newton, a password screen will open asking for the password. Upon entering the proper password, Safe Guard will open itself if someone placed the card into a Newton. Safe Guard will not open if there is not a log of bad attempts. You may tap any of the bad attempts in the log to get more info about the attempt. To turn off password protection, set the password to nothing just as in the Prefs. 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 = ScratchPad 2.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ScratchPad 2.0 Size: 60K Date: 9/21/94 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 riot! Name = ScrollEx 3.2 DE Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ScrollEx 3.2 DE Size: 35K Date: 3/01/95 Description: ScrollEx 3.2 DE - This is the German version of ScrollEx. 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...).

Name = ScrollEx 3.2 US Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ScrollEx 3.2 US Size: 37K Date: 2/04/95 Description: ScrollEx 3.2 US - I was very disappointed when I loaded my 21st 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...).

Name = Scroll Menus 1.2 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Scroll Menus 1.2 Size: 13K Date: 3/28/95 Description: 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. Name = ScrollingDoPopup 3.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:ScrollingDoPopup 3.0 Size: 14K Date: 7/31/95 Description: ScrollingDoPopup 3.0 - ScrollingDoPopup allows any popup list to scroll. This means that a program like PocketMoney now has an unlimited number of categories, accounts,.... AssistCalc now has an unlimited number of user defined formulas. MPG can have an unlimited number of vehicle service alarms and reminders. If you have a lot of packages installed on your card you can use the built-in card's Remove Software button to reach all of the packages that used to extend off the screen. There are a lot of other packages that can benefit from this also... SDP will not start to work until the popup lists extend off the screen. Once the lists are too long for the Newton screen SDP installs an arrow icon at the end of the... Name = Sieve 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Sieve 1.0 Size: 11K Date: 5/23/95 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. Name = Signature Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Signature Size: 8K Date: 4/28/94 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. 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 = SleepAid 1.3 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SleepAid 1.3 Size: 29K Date: 3/06/95 Description: SleepAid 1.3 - SleepAid covers all aspects of power management on your 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. Name = SleepSoundPro 0.10 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SleepSoundPro 0.10 Size: 15K Date: 2/28/95 Description: SleepSoundPro 0.10 - 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 demo version of this package and it will expire 30 days after you install it. Name = Sleeper 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Sleeper 1.0 Size: 17K Date: 3/28/96 Description: Sleeper 1.0 - is a 21k package that make your Newton yawn when it goes to sleep.

Name = SmartButtons 2.14 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SmartButtons 2.14 Size: 64K Date:10/19/96 Description: SmartButtons 2.14.pkg - K2 announces that its latest revision of its Advanced Reference Technology engine, SmartButtons. Please note that this update fixes some minor issues with previous versions as well as providing a small speed increase on indexed searches. This update is recommended for ALL Newton devicies (100->130) however Newton users with OS 2.0 will notice the biggest differences. It is used with all K2 ART Compatible products including the KJV Bible, all Medical Texts (by K2, ERLI, First DataBank, and Mosby-Year Book), Archimedes, and MedScribe. Name = SoupAway 0.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SoupAway 0.01 Size: 11K Date: 3/12/94 Description: 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 data. If you lose data, and you don't have a backup, you no-longer have that data. When used correctly, it will help free up precious memory on your Newton! Name = SoupCleaner 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SoupCleaner 1.0 Size: 10K Date: 9/08/95 Description: SoupCleaner 1.0 - I've noticed that over time some of the Date Soup's entries get corrupted. By that I mean that some entries will loose required slots or that these slots will contain some invalid entries. Each entry consists of required slots like the mtgStartDate slot which specifies the start date of the event. If that slot is missing, the event-in most cases if not all-will not be displayed. SoupCleaner will attempt to examine each entry and determine whether or not any slots are missing or corrupted. Corrupted entries can also be repaired depending on the user setting. Name = SoupKitchen 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SoupKitchen 1.0 Size: 37K Date: 8/28/95 Description: SoupKitchen 1.0 - SoupKitchen is a full-featured soup browser/editor for the Newton.

Once selected, SoupKitchen will provide information on that soup (number of entires, storage used, index slot, etc.). Tap on the Browse button to enter the soup browser. While editing, its important to understand the structure of soups and how SoupKitchen displays their contents. Information is given in the Read Me file! Name = Soup Mixer 2.11 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Soup Mixer 2.11 Size: 19K Date: 7/07/95 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. (Just tap the items you wish to expand.) Deletion and duplication of soup entries.

Name = SoupSweep Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SoupSweep Size: 6K Date:10/13/94 Description: SoupSweep - Soup Sweep removes unused memory from the Newton's soups. It typically saves about 10 percent of the memory used by a soup. (Your Milage may vary.) It has been tested with all built-in applications and several third party application on an MP100 and MP110. Freeware, brought to you by the Newton Al group in Washington State University. 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 = SpellCheck 1.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:SpellCheck 1.01 Size: 8K Date: 4/26/95 Description: SpellCheck 1.01 - This is a very cool Spell Checker for the Newton!

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. Name = StoreInfo 1.0b6 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:StoreInfo 1.0b6 Size: 8K Date: 6/04/96 Description: StoreInfo 1.0b6 - A Storage Space Monitor for the Newton. StoreInfo is a simple little application (11K, 0.1K heap) that lives inside a floating window and monitors the amount of available storage space on the internal and external stores connected to your Newton. The program is compatible with Newton 1.x and 2.0 systems, and offers users of 1.x users a window is similar to the Memory Info window that is available in the Extras Drawer under Newton 2.0. The advantage of using StoreInfo, however, is that its window can be displayed at all times on the screen without using much screen space and it can be easily invoked with a product like GestureLaunch from ICS. In addition to reporting the amount of... Name = Store Keeper 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Store Keeper 1.0 Size: 5K Date:10/26/94 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. 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.

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.

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. Name = TrashPak 3.11 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:TrashPak 3.11 Size: 22K Date: 7/21/95 Description: TrashPak 3.11 - (Formerly known as RemoveIt) TrashPak lets you quickly 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! Name = TrueNames 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:TrueNames 1.0 Size: 21K Date:12/27/94 Description: TrueNames 1.0 - TrueNames is a simple Newton application that lets you assign a name to your MessagePad's internal and/or card storage. Just choose a predefined name from the popup labels, or write in your own, and tap the Set... button. There's no grip o' death, so you can eject the card and insert another one if you have multiple cards you want to name. Try it for 10 days and then pay for it or erase it. Why name the stores? Because 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 make it easier to determine which archive is which, and makes it imposible for NCK to switch the names on you (as it can with the Card #... Name = UserDict 0.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:UserDict 0.1 Size: 11K Date: 2/28/95 Description: UserDict 0.1 - This app adds new functionality (oooo! a marketdroid word!) to Intelligent Assistant. If you're not using it now, I wholeheartedly suggest you also install my Assistance! app. This app really benefits from Assistance! begin installed, but it's not absolutely necessary (just harder to use!) Quite simply, UserDict will take any currently selected words and add them to the Newton's user dictionary. Just select a word (or several) and tap Assistance!, then UserDict. It will automagically take your words and attempt to add them to the dictionary. It will pop a message when it finishes. The message will tell you either the word(s) were added or that some or all of them already exist in the...

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...

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 Programmer's Guide (with some typos by me...) so don't blame me for some what un-descriptive phrases (it's better than what you're used...

Name = Yak 1.1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Utilities:Yak 1.1.1 Size:161K Date:11/17/95 Description: Yak 1.1.1 - Yak is my first Newton app which I created in order to aquaint myself with Newton development, the NTK environment and Newtonscript. It is a simple little text-to-speech engine which exists as a sort of extension - it does nothing by itself but its functions are called by outside applications. This means that you can write your own programs to take advantage of Yak's (somewhat peculiar) vocal stylings...even from NS BASIC! The Yak software included here consists of three main parts: (1) Yak 1.0 package (2) Yak Control Panel (3) A little Yak-applet, NoteYak, which works with the Newton's internal Notes application to read stuff outloud to any hapless individual in earshot.
