It recycles, updates and augments information that is found with the current versions of the Newt package (see Where do I find Newt?) and NewtATut book, an interactive Newt Application Tutorial (see What other Newt-related packages are available?). I will revise this faq to correspond to new versions of Newt, and to clarify old & new user questions. Name = Palmedia Player 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Newt-Slurpee:Palmedia Player 1.0 Size: 16K Date:11/30/95 Description: Palmedia Player 1.0 - PALMEDIA Player is a Newton application which allows image and animation playback on a MessagePad. By using Steve Weyer's and Greg Simon's excellent shareware utilities, Mac and PC users can import images (or animation frames) to a Newton soup. PALMEDIA Player can read the images from this soup and display them either as a slide show (automatic or manual playback) with special effects transitions or as a movie. PALMEDIA Player can easily be used as a Newt's Cape helper application for viewing slide shows or movies from within Newt's Cape generated Newton Books. Name = Print Depth 0 v1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Print Depth 0 v1.0 Size: 6K Date: 9/14/95 Description: Print Depth 0 v1.0 - PD0 is a quick little hack that makes the toolkit always set the print depth to 0 when connecting the inspector. I got tired of having to reset the print depth whenever my newt crashed, so this solves it. It's only useful with NTK v1.5.1 or later, and is completely free. Comments or questions? Please email us at info@standalone.com. Name = NoButtons.nwt Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Newt-Slurpee:NoButtons.nwt Size: 6K Date: 9/12/95 Description: NoButtons.nwt - For those of you who haven't yet found the button bar of their dreams, here comes another offer - noButtons from no|Software. Features - Quick access to a selected set of applications - Switch between all open applications at will - now you can access the notepad without quitting from whatever application you are using! Short code, minimal heap space usage. Ultimate configurability using NewtonScript. Unfortunately, the last two features come at a price - You need the Newt Development Environment to do anything useful with this code, because there is no external configurability and no compiled version. Name = Unistrokes 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Unistrokes 1.1 Size: 14K Date: 8/21/95 Description: Unistrokes 1.1 - This program was written to test the feasibility of Unistroke recognition on the current generation of Newton PDAs and to collect data on the perfomance of the Newton in stroke collection and recognition. It has no other intended utility. Read the Caveats section. Unistrokes is a writing system developed at Xerox PARC specifically for stylus based computers. For Postscript versions of the paper and lists of strokes ftp to ftp.parc.xerox.com, look in /pub/unistrokes. The program contains a large rectangle, in which to test writing.

Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try NewtTurT. In Adobe Acrobat reader format. Name = UniCode 1.01 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:UniCode 1.01 Size: 15K Date: 2/28/95 Description: UniCode 1.01 - This is a simple app that show a list of characters and their uniCode equivalent integers. The list is numbered along its left side. This number is the uniCode decimal equivalent of the first character shown on its line. The app defaults to displaying 20 characters across. You can change this by selecting from the Per line pop-up near the bottom of the apps window. There are choices for 10, 15 and 20 characters per line. Just above the Per line pop-up is a font pop-up. Select Espy, Geneva or New York and the list of characters will be displayed in that font. To use uniCode info, refer to your NTK manuals and look up the Chr() and Ord() functions. Demo expires after 30 days. This version will... Name = How To Do IR.txt Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:How To Do IR.txt Size: 8K Date:12/23/94 Description: How To Do IR.txt - NS BASIC Tech Note , Nov 30, 1994 - How to control your TV, CD player, etc from NS BASIC on your Newton. Contains - Introduction, Listing, Notes on Listing, IR Remote Control, Pioneer CD player codes and Finding codes for your own player. It's pretty easy to write a program to control infrared remote controlled devices from NS BASIC. In this tech note, we'll show you how to do the basic commands to control the remote - it will be up to you to set up the proper codes for your own devices and make your own controlling program. Name = Bits Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Newt-Slurpee:Bits Size: 8K Date:12/08/94 Description: Bits - A set of NewtonScript functions for manipulating bit data. These functions are freeware, but I retain copyright. If you use them, please drop me a note or card, and put a line in your docs or about box that Bits! is copyright (c)1994 S.Koren. The functions are wrapped in a demo program that requires SteveWeyer's Newt/RunNewt. Slurpee the bits.mac or bits.txt (DOS) file to your Newton, then start Newt and tap on the Expr button to build the demo. NOTE - The demo is quick and dirty and is NOT elegant code. It does work, and is there only to test/demo the bits functions. Name = Date & Time Editors Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Date & Time Editors Size: 32K Date:10/25/94 Description: Date & Time Editors - These protos are for use with date and time data entry. There are two floating view protos. One is for date only entry and the other is for date and time entry. Both of these protos are based on a third proto which is used to control the calendar. The other protos included I pulled from on of my programs so that you can see how to interface with the date/time picker proto. Actually, I changed the date and time protos to use my protos so that I could have floating date editors and the buttons are sized correctly. Name = LISP 0.5 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:LISP 0.5 Size: 11K Date:10/24/94 Description: LISP 0.5 - LISP 0.5 for the Newton is an interpreter for a subset of the LISP language. LISP is a functional list-processing language that supports recursion. It is the language of choice for artificial intelligence applications, and later dialects such as Common LISP and Scheme are currently in active use. The version of LISP implemented by this package is approximately a subset of any modern LISP. We assume that the user is familiar with some dialect of LISP or has found a textbook to explain the rudiments. Includes 22 built-in functions, including integer arithmetic and the ability to load definitions from Notes folders. Freeware. Name = Object Viewer 0.92 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Object Viewer 0.92 Size: 26K Date:10/17/94 Description: Object Viewer 0.92 - The Object Viewer is a Newton application intended mainly for programmers. It displays the contents of objects in Newton's memory, and provides several ways to jump from one object to another. It is a floating window which is half the height of the screen, and can therefore be used to examine the activities of other Newton programs while they are running. Basic instructions are included. Name = Chart Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Chart Size: 10K Date:10/10/94 Description: Chart - This application contains a prototype for a line chart view. You may use this prototype in your application free of charge. I would be interested if you build anything cool. Chart is copyright 1994 by Chris Christensen (chris2x@eworld.com). Takes up 5k once installed. Name = Ruler 1.35 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Ruler 1.35 Size: 36K Date: 8/09/94 Description: Ruler 1.35 - This utility is intended primarily for developers using NTK or BookMaker. If you're not a developer, you probably won't find it of much use. If you've used the Newton ToolKit for any amount of time, you'll quickly find that the layout display in the current version has a number of bugs. Ruler is a little utility that displays two crosshairs on the Newton screen. Their position, and the distance between them, is displayed on a floating palette. You can position the crosshairs by dragging them with the pen. That's pretty much all it does, but it does it well. Name = Multipickproto 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Multipickproto 1.0 Size: 6K Date: 8/09/94 Description: Multipickproto 1.0 - This is a proto I put together to deal with the problem of picklists that are longer than 25 items. (For use with the Newton Toolkit, a commercial program from Apple). It's all fully documented within the proto, but in case you're interested, there is also info in the read me. This proto is freeware for free- and shareware apps, with one caveat - If you use it in a piece of software, send the author a copy. Name = ScrollBarList 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:ScrollBarList 1.0 Size: 12K Date: 7/20/94 Description: ScrollBarList 1.0 - Purpose - This is a proto template for a scroll bar text list with the following features - up/down via single key click, continuous up/down via key press. Full view height scroll when scroll area tapped (below or above marker). Propotional sliding marker, with dragable placement. Scalable width by mouse; height set by viewLines slot. Automatic fade of scroll bar if length(listItems)(viewLines). This proto is based on textList and pictButton. Check with Physix Inc for single/multi user licenses. Name = VideOut 1.0 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:VideOut 1.0 Size: 7K Date: 7/20/94 Description: VideOut 1.0 - Purpose - To feed screen dumps to NTK/MAC for pseudo-simulated video output. Use - 1) Connect inspector, open and size clipboard on MAC screen, set timer to appropriate interval on VideOut. 2) To hide VidOut screen, press hide. To terminate screen dumps, re-select VideOut from extras drawer. Comment - Using an interval less than 5 sec is pointless, as the MAC and Newton will not respond to external input. Needs turbo-charging, contact above for source if interested. Requires use of Newton ToolKit, a commercial product from Apple. Name = MRUPick Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:MRUPick Size: 10K Date: 6/30/94 Description: MRUPick - This is a demonstration of Pickers with items based on the most recent usage. It is like an interactive tutorial. The demo can be stopped at any time. So, check it out and learn more! Name = DbPanel 0.91 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:DbPanel 0.91 Size: 9K Date: 6/27/94 Description: DbPanel 0.91 - DBPanel allows the user to set the trace, breakOnThrows, and printDepth debug globals without having to type into the inspector window. The simplest thing to do is to run DBPanel and then run the app under test. As long as that app isn't based on a floating view, the floater should remain accessible. The floater can be moved by dragging so as to avoid obscuring the interesting parts of the app underneath. I wrote DBPanel after seeing a similar app that saved one from having to find a pause in the inspector output. I took the idea a little farther, adding the breakOnThrows and printDepth globals and a viewIdleScript that keeps the checkboxes in sync if you do change the values by typing in the... Name = Icon Editor 1.1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Icon Editor 1.1 Size: 11K Date: 5/23/94 Description: Icon Editor 1.1 - First off I'd like as many programmers as possible to use it if they're doing icon editing of any sort, since this will reduce overhead on a newt if multiple programs want to do this. If your a developer, you can include this app in package form with your app at no charge (just send me a copy). Pretty much useless to non-developers at this point, except to play with. Icon Editor now complies with the 'accepted' methods for routing and such (I cheated with version 1.0.) The most important change is that icons are now saved as bitmaps (binary objects, thanks Mike.) Name = Llama Dos 1.12 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Llama Dos 1.12 Size: 30K Date: 5/07/94 Description: Llama Dos 1.12 - While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a feature found on most computers - a command line interface for system management. Rather than invent a new interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS implements the worlds most widely used interface, with well over 40 million users - DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to make sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface survived intact on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12. With LlamaDOS, a user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of their system using the same commands they have used for years on PCs. Name = ArrayEditor Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:ArrayEditor Size: 28K Date: 4/18/94 Description: ArrayEditor - These user prototypes (protoArrayEditorVtHick, protoLabelEditPickerVtHick and protoLabelEditInputLine) are Shareware. protoArrayEditorVtHick - interface between program and user for modifying of arrays. protoLabelEditInputLine - a protoInputLabelLine with the added feature of the user being able to edit the labelCommands. This proto requires protoArrayEditorVtHick to work. protoArrayEditorVtHick must be declared as arrayEditorVtHick in the a parent view. protoLabelEditPickerVtHick - a protoLabelPicker with the added feature of the user being able to edit the labelCommands. This proto requires protoArrayEditorVtHick to work. Shareware, see the docs for... Name = SeeFrames 1.1 US Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:SeeFrames 1.1 US Size: 21K Date: 3/01/94 Description: SeeFrames 1.1 - SeeFrames is a utility for Newton developers. It allows you to watch most of the objects and navigate into the memory of your Newton. When you start SeeFrames from the extrasDrawer, it closes it and then shows you the slots list of the 'viewfrontmost frame called Front view in the top left labelPicker (it may be useful when debugging an application, especially if you have an ExtraButton of ScrollEx attached to SeeFrames). To see the content of a frame or an array (ex _proto, CodeBlock or viewChildren), tap on it and the slots list of it will be shown. You may repeat this until there no more frame or array on the list. More details are given in the documentation. Name = ShapesRus 0.95 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:ShapesRus 0.95 Size: 14K Date:12/21/93 Description: ShapesRus 0.95 - This utility allows a Newton developer to see the visual appearance of the various NTK Drawing shape attribute choices & their combinations. You can choose what NTK Shape primitive to draw, its foreground fill pattern, its foreground pen pattern, its background fill pattern, and the mode of fg/bg pixel interaction. You can define your own pattern and use it for fg fill, fg pen, or bg fill pattern. It also shows you the HEX pattern value needed for NTK. Tap in input grid to toggle on or off the 8x8 pixel location. You can define your own polygon shape to replace the default polygon (pentagon) shape. Polygon input supports snap to grid option. Name = Internals pkg and source Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:Internals pkg and source Size: 11K Date:11/15/93 Description: Internals pkg and source code - When first starting Newton development I fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists seemed pretty interesting, but the sample was a little too simple. So I extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did some major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again yesterday, and cut at least one third of the code and slots! I hereby give this code away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far from), but because it might give other novices some help. Name = RPMDemo1 Path = PDA10:NOS 1.x:Programming:RPMDemo1 Size: 11K Date:11/03/93 Description: RPMDemo1 - RPMDemo1 is a sample Newton program posted in source form as an example for aspiring Newton programmers. It demonstrates techniques for the following - Show two floaters (protoFloatNGo views); Each floater allows the user to input text by writing in a protoInputLine field inside the floater. Each floater can be dragged by starting at any point in the floater that is not inside the protoInputLine. When information in either floater is changed, the main view updates its display. Specifically, the text entered in the first floater is repeated N times, where N is determined by a number entered in the second floater. Input fields use two undocumented font styles (tsCondense and tsShadow). And More!
