Name = MARGINMA Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:MARGINMA Size: 6K Date:11/21/94 Description: Margin Master 2.0 - Margin Master is accessible through Formulas, on your Newton, and is good for calculating retail margins. It offers dynamic price adjustments via a percentage slider and the ability to round results. Name = PERIODIC Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:PERIODIC Size: 19K Date:11/10/94 Description: Periodic Table 1.0 - Periodic table puts a new entry into the formulas app. It has 4 basic parts. The first part, the graphic representation of the periodic table of elements, allows you to click on a particular element to find information on it. In addition, you can tap on it's name to bring up a list of all the elements, sorted by either atomic number or name. Next to the chart is the element's symbol, and, to it's upper and lower left, it's mass number and atomic number. Writing an element's symbol over the current symbol will bring that element's data up. Below the symbol is an icon of scales. Tapping this will bring up a window in which you can write a chemical compound's formula. Tapping the 'Calculate Mass' button... Name = CONSTANT Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:CONSTANT Size: 11K Date:11/10/94 Description: Constants 1.0b3 - This applet will place a new entry in your formulas roll, with two pickers and two sets of texts fields. The first picker will pop up a list of physical constants (eg mass of the electron) and their symbols (mutilated to fit in a pop-up menu.) The second picker will list several astronomical constants (mean distance of the moon from the Earth). Clicking on constant from either menu will put the numerical value of that constant into the text field below. Once there, it can be selected and copied to the notepad, or just gazed at in awe of the beauty of the universe. This is just a beta, with only a few constants that I needed for a class stuck in. Name = WEIGHT Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:WEIGHT Size: 12K Date:11/03/94 Description: Weight - Weight is a very simple Newton app for pilots. I wrote it last year while learning Newton Programming. It does one thing - It calculates the total weight of passengers, baggage, and fuel for a four seat airplane. You can compare the useful load of a few airplane models. Source code included. If you want any changes, you'll have to make them yourself - I don't have Newton Toolkit anymore. Name = CONVERT2 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:CONVERT2 Size: 58K Date:10/16/94 Description: Convert 2.6 - Convert! is a replacement for the limited conversion tables which come with the Newton. General Features - Convert! allows the user to enter and quickly convert between 133 common (and not so common) metric and imperial units. Once the value has been written into a field Convert! automatically calculates the corresponding units in the table. The areas of conversion - area, length, volume, mass, pressure, temperature, energy, time, power, velocity, computing. Example of the extent of this program - In the Pressure area - calculate atmospheres, pascals, Newtons/sq metre, Kilopascals, bar, dynes/sq metre, mm Hg, torr, inches water, pounds/ sq inch. So many conversions, so little time... Name = UNTCAMPU Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:UNTCAMPU Size: 12K Date:10/13/94 Description: 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. Name = ACALC Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:ACALC Size: 6K Date: 8/04/94 Description: ACalc - Acalc is another attempt at a usable Newton calculator.

Name = COMFORTI Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:COMFORTI Size: 32K Date: 6/30/94 Description: Comfort Index 1.0 - This program calculates both the wind chill index and the heat index. Wind chill is the relative temperature at a given temperature/wind speed combination. Heat Index is the relative temperature at a given temperature/humidity combination. Touching the Compute button will bring up a graphic, relative temperature, and a hint button (like stay inside in an air conditioned room). Name = GSTCALC1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:GSTCALC1 Size: 9K Date: 6/22/94 Description: GSTcalc 1.4 - Welcome to GSTcalc, the most popular Canadian GST calculator for the Newton MessagePad. GSTcalc is a simple tool for calculating the Canadian Goods & Services tax, as well as the provincial sales tax for the different provinces. Here are the percentages used for each province - Alberta, North West Territories and Yukon 0%, British Columbia & Manitoba 7%, New Brunswick & Nova Scotia 11%, Newfoundland 12%, PEI 10%, Ontario 8% Quebec (P) 6.58% (for products and services), and Saskatchewan 9%. GSTcalc calculates on rounded numbers, which is the right way to calculate taxes (if you dont do this, you will end up with a 1 cent difference). Name = RESISTOR Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:RESISTOR Size: 7K Date: 6/22/94 Description: Resistor Value Calc - This is just a quick applet I wrote to help me calculate resistor values, since I haven't memorized the stripe values. To use it, just enter the color of each band into the radio button clusters (labeled 1,2,3, and 4, moving from left to right with the metallic band on the right.) The colors are black (BLK), brown (BRN), red (RED), orange (ORN), yellow (YEL), green (GRN), blue (BLU), violet (VIO), grey (GRY), and white (WHI). The tolerances (the metallic band) are the fourth row, and are either gold (5 percent) or silver (10 percent). Name = HOWFAR0 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:HOWFAR0 Size: 20K Date: 6/11/94 Description: HowFar 0.b9 - How Far? is the first version of a set of PDA tools for pilots and frequent travelers. How Far? sets the user location as the origin and queries for a destination. Only a part of the city name or airport idendifier needs to be entered. Given two valid locations, the program calculates the distance (Great Circle distance) and initial heading between the two locations. The program displays an approximate course line on the map. Currently, the program includes 65 locations (generally major cities). Great Circle distances may not be accurate for very short trips. Name = NLENGTHS Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:NLENGTHS Size: 8K Date: 4/22/94 Description: NLengths 1.0 - A formula for the Newton Formula app. This app provides a quick converter for units of length. You can use it to convert from one unit of measure to another. It supports, miles, furloughs (hey, I'm in Maryland and we race horses here), yards, feet, inches, kilometers, meters, centimeters, millimeters and itty-bitty microns. Using it is very simple. Install it anywhere, it's card friendly and fully supports card ejects. Please note, you must close the Formula app before ejecting a card. It's the Formula app that Needs the Card, not nLengths. Once you've installed it, you can access it from the Formula app in the Extras drawer. It's listed as Lengths. Name = DISCOUNT Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:DISCOUNT Size: 7K Date: 4/21/94 Description: Discount 1.01 - This is a very simple discount calculator. It allows you to enter a price and two discount percentages. It will then show you values of the price less the calculated percents. All you need to do is enter your price in the upper right field. Use the pen or the keyboard, both will work. Then you can enter one or both percentages. Bear in mind that these are whole numbers that will be used as percentages. It's rather difficult to get the Newton to recognize a leading period, so I decided against using them. The calculations are fully dynamic. As you type, the sums will recalc. If you scrub out a value, it will blank the sum. When you load this package, tap on Formulas in the Extras drawer to access. Name = PILOTPAD Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:PILOTPAD Size: 8K Date: 3/28/94 Description: PilotPad 1.0 - PilotPad is an initial release of a pilot's assistant for the Newton Message Pad. It allows the pilot to calculate ground speed and true heading without the use of the E6-B flight computer. Mind you, this is only an initial release and I hope there is more to come. This release only touches on the potential of the Newton and its possible aid to pilots. I would be interested it talking to anyone who is directly involved with the aviation industry or who knows someone that is interested in developing a fully featured product for commercial distribution. Pass this message on to your aviation marketing buddy. Name = GSTCALC2 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:GSTCALC2 Size: 6K Date: 2/23/94 Description: GST Calc NZ - Welcome to GSTcalc, the most popular Canadian GST calculator for the Newton MessagePad. Actually, this is a version for New Zealand. Heres an undocumented feature - you can drag GSTcalc by its title! GSTcalc calculates on rounded numbers, which is the right way to calculate taxes (if you dont do this, you will end up with a 1 cent difference.). Contact the author if you want him to produce a GST calculator for your area! Name = RPNCALC0 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:RPNCALC0 Size: 11K Date:12/02/93 Description: RPN Calc 0.91 - RPN Calc is my interpretation of an HP41/42 style RPN calculator. It contains most of the basic functionality of an HP scientific calculator. This is my first effort at Newton programming, I hope you enjoy using it.

Name = SCICALC1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:SCICALC1 Size: 14K Date:11/03/93 Description: SciCalc 1.0b4 - SciCalc is a simple implementation of a standard (i.e. NOT Reverse Polish or 'RPN') scientific calculator for the Apple Newton MessagePad and similar PDAs. If you do find problems, please let the author know so that he can rectify them in the next release. Name = MYCALCUL Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:MYCALCUL Size: 27K Date:11/03/93 Description: MyCalculator - MyCalculator is intended as a relatively simple postfix (i.e. reverse-polish notation or RPN) calculator for the Newton MessagePad. MyCalculator has not been thoroughly tested. Use it at your own risk. If you are calculating something important, double-check your results with some other variety of calculation. Numbers are restricted to six digits after the decimal point, mostly so that they'll fit on the screen. The use of the number and operator keys should be pretty obvious since all of the stack is visible on the screen. Includes full documentation. Name = MOLBIOCA Path = PDA12:PKGS:CALCSCI:1:MOLBIOCA Size: 7K Date: 3/16/93 Description: MolBio Calc 1.0 - This is an example of a Molecular Biology dedicated Newton applet.
