Post Office is a Newton app developed using Steve Weyer's Newt
development environment (ver 3.0).  

Files:

Post Office.pkg  - standalone Newton package.
Post Office.lib  - Newt 3.0 source library (see Newt 3.0 docs for installation and use)
Post Office.nwt  - Newt 3.0 source file (TEXT).


What It Is And What It Does:

Post Office allows you to maintain, and switch between sets of NewtonMail
locations and access numbers.  It came about because I do a lot of commuting
and I got tired of manually changing the NewtonMail phone number every morning
and switching it back when I got home.


To Run Post Office:

Install on your MessagePad in the normal way (NCK, NTK, Package Downloader, etc.)
Open Extras drawer.  Tap on the Post Office icon.  Read the online help for detailed
use information.


Newt Programming Concepts Illustrated:


- clView
- user soups
- modifying userConfiguration soups
- protoStatus
- label pickers
- online help via TinyTim 

Comments, pats on the back, and money gratefully accepted.  Suggestions,
bug reports, etc., also accepted gladly.

How It Was Developed:

	Post Office came about because I travel a lot and need to keep changing my NewtonMail
	access numbers.
	
	Post Office was developed ON my Newton (not on a Macintosh or Windows pc) using
	Steve Weyer's amazingly wonderful Newt 3.0 developement platform.  Newt 3.0 allows
	you to develop complete NewtonScript applications that produce true Newton packages
	on your MessagePad.  The actual package was then extracted by synchronizing my Newton
	using the Apple NCK and then pulling the package from it via the shareware
	ExtractPackages 1.1.  
	
	The icon was developed ON the Newton using Ben Gottlieb's freeware Newton Icon Editor.
	
	This is a non-NTK produced package.

Info on Newt 3.0: (Extracted from Newt 3.0 documentation)

	Newt allows you to write your own expressions and methods in NewtonScript for
	developing applications, and execute them directly on your Newton.
	NewtonScript (NS), Newton's built-in, object-oriented (o-o) language, shares
	ancestry with dynamic o-o languages like Smalltalk, Self, Common Lisp, and
	ObjectLogo. NewtonScript is the same language that is used by Apple's Newton
	ToolKit (NTK). For more advanced users, familiarity with o-o concepts and
	constructs would be useful; for others, Newt should serve as a brief
	introduction to these ideas.  

	Newt 3.0 provides the ability to create real packages directly on the Newton
	(this requires the NewtPack plug-in -- see packages.txt).
	
	Newt 3.0 is available from all major online services and via ftp from
	ftp.amug.org as well as Steve's home page:
	
	http://www.netaxs.com/~weyer/

Disclaimers:

Post Office is provided 'as is', and without warranty or
guarantee. Also note that Post Office manipulates userConfiguration soups 
(specifically the slots "mailPhone" and "location.name".)
Post Office also creates its own soup "Post:SKoren" which
you will have to remove if you decide not to use Post Office.
