Part 4 of 6
passKeep is a complete password manager. Newton
users may store passwords to computer accounts, web sites, ftp sites and more. With
passKeep, users no longer have to sift through Notes to find a jotted down password. The
software's easy and consistent interface make password storage and retrieval as painless
as possible. Along with passwords, users may store software serial numbers to assist when
calling tech support or upgrading. New features include password change history, Accounts
information similar to Owner Info, Data Encryption and more! Credit: Sine of the Times.
Passworder - Places a button in the notepad that you can use to
activate/deactivate the Password screen. Free by James Yopp, Intronics.
Patchwork 1.1 - is a small package which solves
two problems in Newton 2.0 during restarts occuring after a reset. Restoration of the
previously selected remote city in TimeZones. Restoration of the previously selected view
in Dates. Normally, Newton sets the remote city to Tokyo, Japan, and the view in Dates to
Day regardless of your previous selection. These informations are stored in Patchwork upon
alteration by the user and then applied to the Newton restart. Thanks to the brilliant
Newton operating system, it's possible to change almost any behavior of any object on the
Newton. I've managed to point out the methods which are called when the user changes the
above mentioned data. By overriding these methods I'm able to control what should really
happen. I call the original method, and stores a reference to the selected data or view in
Patchwork.
PkgPopup 1.0 - Package Popup adds a button to the NotePad application
that, when tapped, will popup a list of all installed packages. Tapping on a package will
thaw the package (if it's frozen) launch the package, and, after you quit, re-freeze the
package (if it was frozen before).

Sorry. You need to get Yosuke "Basuke" Suzuki's TapBar Program from his
homepage. TapBar is freeware. e-mail:suzuki@voyagerco.com http://www.saryo.org/basuke/
PopExtras 2.0 - consists of two parts, the first being a button which is
attached to the status bar of the background application (eg Notepad). Tapping this button
will present you with a pop-up menu containing a user definable list of apps installed on
the Newton. Tapping an app name will open that app! The second part of PopExtras is the
utility that is used to select which apps will be displayed in the popup button. This
utility consists of a scrolling list which contains the apps installed on the Newton.
Tapping on an item in the list will place a check to the left of the app name, tapping
again will remove the check. Simple. There is also a Clear button which will uncheck all
items. It should also be noted that this version of PopExtras will only run on Newton 2.0
devices.
Popup Buttons 1.0 - This is a little applet to display MessagePad's
built-in buttons to the right place when you are on landscape mode. You'll see a small
knob at the center of bottom of screen. When you tap this knob, the buttons will popup.
When you tap one of button or some interval, it closes automatically. Requires NOS 2.0.
PowerNavigator1.7 - gives you instant access to your most used packages
and instant Fax and Beam receive. This "Newton Extension" places a floating,
dragable button on your Newton screen. By clicking the button, a popup menu becomes
visible with ten predefined list items named "Fax receive; Beam receive; Rotate
screen; Password on; Password off; Align Pen; Memory info; Sleep; Drag Navigator;
Configuration" . Password on/off display's the PowerOnScreen with or without Pin-Code
keyboard. AlignPen starts the function to calibrate the screen and Memory info shows you
the memory situation. Sleep puts newton to sleep (power off), and Drag Navigator enables
the drag mode. You can leave the drag mode by double clicking on the powerNavigator button
(sound is playing). By choosing the "Configuration" list item, a floating view
is opened where you can add your most used newton applications which will be choosable
over the popup Menu.
Prefs
Cleaner is a free utility that lets you clean up unused preference entries left behind by
old applications. This empties out your system soup of unneccessary items. When you first
open Prefs Cleaner, you are presented with a list of preferences. To remove one, simply
check it off and tap "Remove". Freeware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
PrefsPatch is a patch for the MessagePad which corrects an annoying user
interface "feature." Namely, that you have to tap twice to exit the Prefs or
Formulas rolls. When you install PrefsPatch, it replaces the close box in these rolls with
one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll. You can still click
on the overview button to get back to the overview. PrefsPatch also places a dual-function
button on the notepad status bar for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.

The MP2x00 (at least the german MP2100) will
partially scroll the close box of the preferences roll. Because there are many extensions
to the preferences roll, this problem will become common. Install this patch and the
problem is gone. Credit: Softwarebüro Müller.
