Motile
Last Update:

Motile: From the creators of "Columbo's Mystery Capers" and "Dell Crosswords & Other Word Games" comes the first action-strategy game for the Newton -- Motile! The Motile demo has complete on-line help, and four sample levels to give you an idea of what the game is like. For each maze, Moe has a set time limit to reach the goal. The clock does not start until the first wall is placed or removed. Once you think you've found the solution, release Moe, and hope he makes it to the star. Credit: Tactile Systems.

Hagenuk Speed Dragon PPP Setup
Last Update: 02/15/98

This modem setup enables the Newton OS for using the external ISDN adaptor Hagenuk Speed Dragon. Because of the large installed base of the Hagenuk Speed Dragon - and because we are using it also :-) we have implemented a modem setup for it. The modem setup will talk to the Speed Dragon with 115200 bit/s always. So you must set the data rate in the Speed Dragon fix on that. As an external ISDN adaptor the Speed Dragon has several link protocols. As the name shows up we have implemented the PPP variant. Contact us if you are wish to use another protocol.On install the package will add the new modem setup to the system and remove itself after that. Credit: Softwarebüro Müller.

HyperNewt 2.51 beta 4
Last Update:
02/15/98

HyperNewt has been rewritten from the ground up with new features, enhanced performance, and a more streamlined user interface -- all as a result of user feedback! HyperNewt 2.51 is a revolutionary way to create and organize data on a Newton. With intuitive interface, flexible data management controls, and powerful linking capabilities, HyperNewt is a new window to information. Implementing a hierarchical filing system, HyperNewt lets users create any number of folders and subfolders to store notes, checklists, outlines, and other notepad stationery, in a cleaner and more efficient manner.  Leveraging on the Newton¹s soup data architecture, HyperNewt can act as a freeform database for handling all types of information on your Newton. If you store HyperNewt internally or have installed Stand Alone's SuperNotepad,  do not choose to have HyperNewt replace the Notepad app at startup. If you have chosen to replace the Notepad app with HyperNewt, *DO NOT* make HyperNewt your backdrop application. Opening HyperNewt will cause an alert to appear asking you to use the Notepad app instead. HyperNewt 2.51 beta 1 added faster startup times and fixes some bugs which occurred at startup.  Betas 2, 3 & 4 continued a round of added features and fixes.  Credit: Adam Tow, Foundation Systems.

NewtCard Demo
Last Update:
2/11/98

NS Basic's NewtCard helps Newton users build small and medium-sized databases interactively, with enough functionality that for all practical intents and purposes, they're programs (or packages). NewtCard delivers almost all the functionality of the original HyperCard for the Macintosh on the Newton MP2000, MP2100, or eMate 300. If you'd like to see NS Basic's NewtCard in action, their demo is now available.  Credit: NS Basic Corp.
