e-z-access-1.5 Last Update: 03/02/97

E-Z Access 1.5 - for Newton (10k) is a pop-up button for launching applications and books. The button is displayed in the top left corner of the screen, and is available from any application on your Newton OS system. Tapping the button pops up a list of the applications on your MessagePad. Tapping and holding the button until you hear a squeak pops up a list of Newton books. Tapping an application or book opens it. E-Z Access supports opening frozen apps and is German and French aware.

guester-1.3 Last Update: 03/02/97

Guester 1.3 - Tired of wading through menus to put your Newton in guest mode every time someone else wants to try it? Bored with the double-tap on the "A", scroll down, and click? Wondering which mode you left your Newton in the last time someone played with it? Then Guester may be for you. Guester is a small application for your Newton to give you an easy-to-get-at way to flip your Newton in and out of Guest mode. Inspired after an evening of explaining my Newton to my parents, it's a little floating button you can drag down next to the recognizer buttons in the notepad, and use or look at it when you need to. Provides an icon which shows you at a glance whether or not you're in guest mode.

Hidden Menus 1.0 Last Update: 06/18/98

Hidden Menus is an enhancement for Newton OS 2.1. Desktop style menus for your Newton based on the keyboard shortcuts. Hidden Menus displays the keyboard shortcuts in a familiar pop down style menu so that you can use them without having a keyboard attached. Credit: Catamount Software.

ipp-devkit Last Update: 03/02/97

Ipp Devkit - Developer Kit for Newton developers interested in adding "special actions" to i++ or to support the i++ menu from other buttons (i.e. faked i-buttons).

lightbulb Last Update: 03/02/97

LightBulb - is a very simple extension for owners of MP 130s. LightBulb will extend the silk screened Assist button. When tapped, it will toggle the backlighting on and off. Users can still display the assist screen by tapping on the word "Assist" beneath the silk screened "light bulb." LightBulb is intended to be used on MP 130s. Since it extends the Assist button, those using Gesture Launch which extends all of the silk screen buttons need not use LightBulb.

More Folders 3.2 Last Update: 01/28/98

More Folders serves three purposes: it speeds up filing via a popup menu, eliminates the built in limit of 12 folders, and also allows you to have hierarchical folders, that is, folders within other folders. Note: You MUST install Scroll Menus if you wish to take advantage of the hierarchical folders feature of More Folders. If you have an earlier version of Scroll Menus installed on your Newton, make sure to remove it before installing this one. 30 day shareware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
