remapper Last Update: 03/02/97

Remapper - is a utility that allows you to customize the behavior of the silkscreened buttons built into the MessagePad 120 and 130. You can make any or all of the silkscreened buttons open a custom application or do certain other things such as put the Newton to sleep, toggle the backlight, or rotate the screen. Remapper requires Newton 2.0 and will run on either a MessagePad 120 or 130. Remapper includes online help. Check the online help if you don't understand a certain feature of Remapper. Tap the "I" button and then tap "Help" to view the online help. Remapper is shareware. If you use Remapper, please register it by sending $10. Registered users will recieve, at no additional charge, Remapper Pro which includes tons of great silk screen button remapping features.

Route Book 1.0 Last Update: 03/24/98

Route Book is a 2.1-only (i.e., MP2K, MP2100, eMate) extension that adds "text routing" capability to all books. Newton Help books typically do not offer a routing button or menu found in most other types of Notes or Newton text documents. For regular books, tapping the routing button pops up a menu with only Print Book and Fax (and HyperLink -- if Steve Weyer's HyperNewt is installed, to save a link/bookmark to the current document, using isbn and page number; and URL for Newt's Cape). Route Book adds many more routing options including Beam, EMail, Speaktext.    Registered users of Newt's Cape 1.6a-2 or b-2 betas should install the latest Newt's Cape version 1.6c-2 or greater rather than installing Route Book, as those versions of Newt's Cape include RouteBook functionality. Otherwise, book routing menus will interfere and not behave correctly.  Route Book was originally part of Newt's Cape 1.6a-2 (beta), but the developer decided to extract it as a separate extension so that other book users could benefit and it would be easier to update.  Credit: Steve Weyer.

Soup Transport Last Update: 06/17/98

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: Softwarebüro Müller.
