aussielocale-3.0 Last Update: 03/02/97

AussieLocale 3.0 - Well for us fussy Aussies, here is a little correction for the Newton. Australia hasn't used miles to measure distance since about the time I was born, yet the Newton's Locales settings thinks we do. (Set to Australia and look at TimeZones) AussieLocale sets things right. If you are set to Australia it will set you to a new Locale setting, Aussie. On the way out it will go back to Australia. If there is anything else you want let me know. You can have "1st", "2nd", "xth" etc. for short dates; British or US keyboards and more. Let me know how you want it. Freeware.

marks-messier-list Last Update: 03/02/97

Mark's Messier List - This Excel file contains various information on the 110 objects (star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies) which the French 18th century astronomer, Charles Messier, included in his famous catalog as an aid for comet hunters. The data is useful for amateur astronomers to help locate, identify and catalog the deep-sky objects. The file can be imported into the Newton Name File and can be sorted by Messier Number or by Season Best Observed (and constellation). To import the file - Run Newton Connection and Open (or Synchronize) the current Newton information. Double-click on the Name File and select Import from the File Menu. Choose 'Excel 4.0 (Name File)' and enter 'Mark's Messier File' After the file is imported, choose 'Synchronize' from the Connection box.

tmap-1.2 Last Update: 03/02/97

TMap 1.2 - This is a new version of the TMap Newton App that I created because the Fodor's Guide for the Newton does not contain a map of the Boston Subway system (known as the "T"). This app fixes that oversight. The new feature in this version (1.1) is the ability to "FIND" T stops via the normal Newton Find button. The searched for station is highlighted with a circle until you move the display again. I also fixed a map bug -- Chinatown was mislabelled Prudential. You can "grab" the map with your pen and drag it around. To scroll the map left or right, use the large buttons provided; to scroll up and down, use the standard Newton up and down buttons. The center button brings up the little About... box. You can also find T stations with the Find button.

unt-campus-map Last Update: 03/02/97

UNT Campus Map - UNT Map is an interactive map of the University of North Texas Campus. It was created as an experiment to see if this sort of thing is feasible, and also because I got tired of using a stupid Xerox copy of the existing campus map whenever I got a support call. Even if you don't go to UNT, check out the map! You can see a list of the buildings, select one and be shown where it is. Or, you can tap on a building and be shown the name. Good implementation of mapping! Contact the author for the code, or help in making your own maps! Tap the overview buttonto see a list of building names.
