MoreInfo is a powerful application which
seamlessly extends the Newton's built-in applications making the Newton a true contact
manager. MoreInfo adds these features in such a way that when using it, you will not know
where the built-in features end and MoreInfo begins. MoreInfo has been designed to
anticipate your every move and provide you with the vital information you need to manage
your numerous contacts and busy schedule. This product also takes advantage of Macintalk!
Macintalk is NOT available from the developers of More Info. The latest version
includes compatibility with PelicanWare's Notion 2.0. See Readme for program
details. Credit: SilverWare.
Soup Transport helps users send soups, the Newton
equivalent to files, using email or beam. Soup Transport shows a complete list of
available files and their corresponding sizes. Transferring is as easy as selecting the
soup you want to transfer! On the receiver side the data resides in the InBox until you
choose to put it away by tapping the Put Away button. Because it is possible that the soup
and/or some entries already exists you can choose what to do in such cases. Credit:

Secret offers fast and true DES encryption for
Newton Notes. As long as you never forget your encryption password, you'll love this app.
After installing you will find a little "lock" button in your Notes
options bar. In addition the action picker will be extended by 'Protect' and 'Unprotect'.
These are present only if the selected note is unlocked. The lock in the button line
shows the state of the notes application. If it is locked, the notes marked with 'Protect'
are not available. To open the Note, simply tap on the lock button and enter your
password. This is a 30 day demo. The latest version includes OwnerInfo encryption, and a
fix for some reported errors occurring when shutting off the Newton with unencrypted
notes. Also included: increased Foundation Systems' HyperNewt compatibility.
