EnRoute Demo - Connect Your Newton to QuickMail! Now connect to your
QuickMail network and... Create, Send, and Retrieve QuickMail Messages from your Newton!
Designed for professionals on the go, EnRoute(tm) is a powerful messaging application that
makes it easy to connect a Newton Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to a Local Area Network
(LAN)-based QuickMail mailbox. In fact, using EnRoute to access mail is as simple as
making a modem connection. With EnRoute and a Newton-compatible modem, users dial directly
into the QuickMail Server to access mail. They can then perform critical communication
functions with their Newtons including creating, sending and retrieving messages.
Communicate across the hall and around the world! The limitation on the Enroute demo is
that all messages, sent and received, will have a paragraph at the bottom announcing that
they are from a demo of Enroute.

FCR 1.11 Demo - FirstClass Retriever+, the Newton client for the
FirstClass conferencing and email system. FirstClass Retriever+ provides access to
FirstClass e-mail and conference messages from a Newton MessagePad through a modem or
LocalTalk network connection. All messages can be read and replied to on-line or saved to
the Newton to read and replied off-line. The demo allows you to connect to a FirstClass
server from your MessagePad and browse around. It will give you a good feel for its
capabilities and the benefits having very portable email access. Although the demo is very
functional, there are several features that have been disabled. The email list in your
mailbox can be viewed, but individual messages cannot opened or retrieved.
Fix E-Mail Address 1.0 - In the e-mail address field of Names, you can
now choose the kind of e-mail address. But if you imported old data into new system, the
old e-mail fields are labeled with just "E-Mail". Actually, this
"E-Mail" label means that this address is an eWorld account. I don't like this.
So this application looks into whole Names entries, then fix the field as it should be. If
the field is "foo@aol.com", then it will be changed to "foo" labeled
with "America Online". Unknown address is labeled with "Internet" or
"eWorld". Requires Newton OS 2.0.
HideEworld - This package hides eWorld NewtonMail options on Newtons
withsystem 2.0. As eworld no longer exists this NewtonMail option is no longer needed.
In Box Expander 1.0 - This is a hack I just came up with so that I can
receive large numbers of mail messages on my newt without runnin out of RAM (I've got a
100, and, once the names are on, there's only 'bout 50-60k left.) It has NOT been
rigorously tested, so be warned. Don't worry, though, it's pretty benign. It does two
things - All incoming stuff (mail and beams) is stored in the default store, rather than
the internal RAM. The default store can be set by checking the "Store new items on
card" checkbox in the card slip. The In Box, Out Box, Connection slip and Card slip
are now all draggable.
Linker 1.0 Demo - Linker is a Newton program that lets you connect to
AppleLink and see what messages you have, download those you want to read, reply to
messages, send messages from any Newton application that supports mail, and save messages
as NotePad items. Linker is easy to use because it supports the standard Newton In and Out
Boxes, so it works the same way as faxing, beaming, and Newtonmailing. To use Linker you
need a Newton-compatible modem and, of course, an AppleLink account. The demo version of
Linker differs in only one significant way from the real program - you can only send and
receive one message per connection. The full version of Linker is available from Creative
Digital Systems.
LookOut 1.1 beta 5 supports synchronization of
contacts, appointments and tasks from Microsoft Outlook. This program is fully integrated
with the Newton's Names and Dates calendar, and can synchronize OutLook tasks with a
Newton's To Do list. Data can be transferred via serial cable, modem or even via email.
LookOut offers newton users a reliable Windows to Newtons communication. This beta
will expire on April 25, 1998. To Install: Unzip, then run the resulting file -
lookout11b4.exe. Be sure you have already installed Microsoft's Outlook. The
new Newton lookout.pkg must be installed, and will be located in: x:\program
files\seamless software\lookout\lookout.pkg where X is your drive letter.

Mail Edit 1.2 - Mail Edit offers a new way to read and reply to email on
the Newton. It allows you to read messages in a variety of fonts and sizes, and allows
easy access to the keyboard and, if it's installed, Graffiti (commerical prog by Palm
Computing). It also makes use of more of the screen, allowing you to edit more of a
message at once. To access the address information on outgoing mail, click on the
"Address" button. To load a package attached to a mail message (the package name
will be right below the message text) click on the action slip and then select "Load
Attachment". If you want a 'signature' on your messages click on the
"Address" button and enter some text into the Signature field.
Mail Numbers 1.0demo - With a NewtonMail account, a Newton, a modem, and
a phone line you can stay in touch no matter where you go. Unfortunately, accessing
NewtonMail while you are on the go isn't as easy as using the Newton itself. The biggest
problem is that, as you move around the country, the phone number you have to dial to
access NewtonMail changes from city to city. Of course, Apple provides a booklet listing
all of the current NewtonMail phone numbers for each city, but that booklet takes up
valuable travel space. Wouldn't it be great if there were a piece of Newton software that
would let you change your NewtonMail phone number with just a few taps of the pen? Well
there is! And, you just downloaded it! Demo.
MailFix 0.41d8 - Fixes two deliberate NewtonMail bugs - It makes
NewtonMailıs views non-floating, so that the clipboard and things like Erica Sadunıs
Figgles keyboard are no longer disabled, and sets (after a delay) the font and size to
your default. Use with caution. Sometimes works only partially in Dates. There are two
other design errors I couldnıt fix - Undo isnıt supported when you need it most, and the
Close box sometimes means 'Save Changes' and sometimes means 'Discard Changes.' The
conjunction of these last two NewtonMail misfeatures and MailFixıs working only partially
in Dates can be particularly annoying. Version 0.40d1 now works with NewtonMail 1.2b. This
is a beta. Freeware by FlaSheridn@eWorld.com.
