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.
PALMEDIA Image Transfer 1.3 - HyperCard stack allows you to send Slurpee
formatted images to your Newton MessagePad. This stack can be used instead of a
communications program for transferring Slurpee files from the Mac to the Newton. PALMEDIA
Image Transfer has been tested on a Power Book 520c (OS 7.5.1) and a Power Mac 6100/66 (OS
7.5.1) using both HyperCard 2.3 and HyperCard Player 2.2. - Easy configuration of the
serial port settings. - Replaces the usual communications program needed for Slurpee
files. - Choose between the modem or printer ports (useful on a Power Book). - Displays
status information of the serial port, connection activity. - Displays real-time counter
of transmitted characters. - Works with PALMEDIA Player 1.0/2.0 and Slurpee 1.x.
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.
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.
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!
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.
The SBM Utilities for Newton is a collection of tools primarily for
developers, but some - like Backup and Restore - are useful for everyone. This product has
been significantly enhanced after a thirteen part beta program. Checking out the
documentation before use is highly recommended. Also available below: Icon Editor
beta for use with SBM Utilities. Docs are current as of version 1.3.2 -- for
the latest documentation visit the

ScriptLink Demo 1.0 - ScriptLink offers Newton developers a flexible
mechanism for controlling a server Macintosh using AppleScript, Apple Computer's powerful
scripting language . Combining the flexibility of AppleScript with the mobile computing
power of the Newton, ScriptLink enables developers to quickly build customised solutions
using off the shelf software packages. ScriptLink 1.0 is compatible with industry standard
wired and wireless AppleTalk networks. ScriptLink is based on a powerful client server
architecture, with the Macintosh based ScriptLink Server providing a secure, multi-user
environment in which AppleScript commands are executed.
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.
