It allows the user to send alphanumeric pages from a Newt to alpanumeric pagers served by a system that will accept pages in TAP's manaual format. TAP specifies two ways in which pages can be sent, a manual procedure and an automatic procedure. BeepMe implements TAP's manual mode since it's much simpler than the automatic prodecure. BeepMe works with my paging service's implementation of TAP's manual mode. I have no idea about how consistent paging systems' implementations of TAP's manual mode are.

CD Changer 1.0 will type in the names of your CDs for you. (Only if you CD Changer supports it). NOTE: When naming your CDs, there is a considerable DELAY between it going to that CD, and it naming it. Please be patient. It's also possible that the delay is not long enough, as the Disc Changer must completely change and start playing the Disc before the Naming will work. So far, this has only been tested on the Sony CX255 and CX250. It will likely work with the 100 disc changer (CX205, I think). Also -...

MS-DOS comes with a program called CTTY, which allows you to control a PC via the serial port. This Newton application is a terminal application that uses this feature. Plug the Newton into the serial port via a Null modem cable and enter the following commands into DOS, MODE COM1:1200,N,8,1; CTTY COM1: this will set up the serial port for 1200 baud and switch input and output throught it.

But if you imported old data into new system, the old e-mail fields are labeled with just E-Mail. Actually, this E-Mail label means that this address is an eWorld account. I don't like this. So this application looks into whole Names entries, then fix the field as it should be. If the field is foo@aol.com, then it will be changed to foo labeled with America Online. Unknown address is labeled with Internet or eWorld. Requires Newton OS 2.0.

Note that installing these versions of the transports give another 10 days of trial (shortened from 30 days) but it also replaces the transport preferences. This doesn't affect any setup done from the GoFetch Setup program, just the preferences found in the [i] button in the in and out box. All of the GoFetch preferences are now available using the Options button from the connection slip. As before, these options are only set for the current session. To change the preferences for all future sessions, use the preferences in the [i] menu. The option button now pops up a dialog window that contains all of the GoFetch preferences.

Name = HELPURL2 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:ALL:HELPURL2 Size: 38K Date:12/10/96 Description: HelpURL - shows how to add URLs to an about box and create a dynamic help book from HTML. This works best with Newt's Cape installed on NOS 2.0 (though it will also work on 1.x). You can develop an About Box with URLs. Use the protoAboutText object. Modify text, viewFont, etc. as appropriate. Text slot can contain simple HREF expressions only (see example). (For 1.x compatibility, use short lines with no wrapping.) This is processed at compile-time. Name = HIDEEWOR Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:2:HIDEEWOR Size: 3K Date: 4/15/96 Description: HideEworld - This package hides eWorld NewtonMail options on Newtons with system 2.0.

Name = INBOXEXP Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:INBOXEXP Size: 5K Date:10/08/94 Description: In Box Expander 1.0 - This is a hack I just came up with so that I can receive large numbers of mail messages on my newt without runnin out of RAM (I've got a 100, and, once the names are on, there's only 'bout 50-60k left.) It has NOT been rigorously tested, so be warned. Don't worry, though, it's pretty benign. It does two things - All incoming stuff (mail and beams) is stored in the default store, rather than the internal RAM. The default store can be set by checking the Store new items on card checkbox in the card slip. The In Box, Out Box, Connection slip and Card slip are now all draggable. Name = INFONOTE Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:INFONOTE Size: 37K Date:12/10/95 Description: InfoNote 1.1 - MPadClub a le plaisir de vous prsenter InfoNote, un tout nouveau service gratuit et EN FRANCAIS pour vous tenir au courant des dernires Infos du Newton!

This version implements several new features, including the ability to perform ISO 8859 decoding. This makes Ink Spot the only newsreader for the Newton that can handle umlauts, tildes, and other 8-bit characters. Version 1.08 also works around an intermittent bug with some news servers, in which the server would tell Ink Spot to download articles that were previously downloaded. Find messages containing a word or phrase in the subject or body of an article. Download as many or as few messages as you want. There is no pre-set limit on the number of messages you can download, and a 24K limit on individual messages. Download full headers or discard headers... Name = MAILEDI1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILEDI1 Size: 13K Date:12/14/94 Description: Mail Edit 1.2 - Mail Edit offers a new way to read and reply to email on the Newton. It allows you to read messages in a variety of fonts and sizes, and allows easy access to the keyboard and, if it's installed, Graffiti (commerical prog by Palm Computing). It also makes use of more of the screen, allowing you to edit more of a message at once. To access the address information on outgoing mail, click on the Address button. To load a package attached to a mail message (the package name will be right below the message text) click on the action slip and then select Load Attachment. If you want a 'signature' on your messages click on the Address button and enter some text into the Signature field. Name = MAILFIX0 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILFIX0 Size: 5K Date: 6/03/94 Description: MailFix 0.41d8 - Fixes two deliberate NewtonMail bugs - It makes NewtonMails views non-floating, so that the clipboard and things like Erica Saduns Figgles keyboard are no longer disabled, and sets (after a delay) the font and size to your default. Use with caution. Sometimes works only partially in Dates. There are two other design errors I couldnt fix - Undo isnt supported when you need it most, and the Close box sometimes means Save Changes and sometimes means Discard Changes. The conjunction of these last two NewtonMail misfeatures and MailFixs working only partially in Dates can be particularly annoying. Version 0.40d1 now works with NewtonMail 1.2b. This is a beta. Freeware by Name = MAILJAM Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILJAM Size: 6K Date:10/18/95 Description: MailJam - This removes the mail items from the Newton's internal queue that the Newton still thinks it needs to download. If you break the receiving mail connection in the middle of a large file the Newton keeps track of this and wants to help you out by starting off where it left off the last time. This can become a problem especially if it is a very large file and you are using a MP0 or MP100 with very limited internal ram. So, this package will remove the items from the Newton queue so that you can download the next message. Name = MAILNUMB Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILNUMB Size: 29K Date: 1/06/94 Description: Mail Numbers 1.0demo - With a NewtonMail account, a Newton, a modem, and a phone line you can stay in touch no matter where you go. Unfortunately, accessing NewtonMail while you are on the go isn't as easy as using the Newton itself. The biggest problem is that, as you move around the country, the phone number you have to dial to access NewtonMail changes from city to city. Of course, Apple provides a booklet listing all of the current NewtonMail phone numbers for each city, but that booklet takes up valuable travel space. Wouldn't it be great if there were a piece of Newton software that would let you change your NewtonMail phone number with just a few taps of the pen? Well there is! And, you just... Name = MAILPHON Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILPHON Size: 19K Date: 3/30/95 Description: MailPhones 0.9 - MailPhones maintains a soup of NewtonMail access telephone numbers and allows you to change your current access number easily. When the app starts up for the first time it looks for your current location and NewtonMail access telephone number (as set in Time Zones and Prefs) and creates a soup with those items as the only entry. Perhaps it is an unjustified assumption that the two go together, but you can edit either or both if you need to. After the first time that MailPhones starts up, it checks the list of cities and local access numbers that you've told it about and displays the city name (if it knows it) that goes with the telephone number that's currently specified for NewtonMail. Name = MAILSAVE Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MAILSAVE Size: 18K Date: 6/02/94 Description: MailSaver 1.41 - MailSaver is a one-stop NewtonMail assistant. It gives you access to your inbox, outbox, sprintnet access number (including keeping a list of your frequently used access numbers). It can put away mail enclosures, save the text of a message to a new notepad entry, and strip internet routing headers from messages before saving them. MailSaver is shareware.

Name = MEMOFAX Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MEMOFAX Size: 21K Date: 7/20/94 Description: MemoFax - Memo Fax is an easy to use shareware memo faxing program, and includes complete documentation. It'll even look in your address book for fax numbers! This version is limited. You can only enter two memoes. I figure that is enough to get a feel for it and yet not be able to really use it for an extended period of time. Name = MHZ2144 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MHZ2144 Size: 7K Date:12/05/95 Description: Mhz2144 - This folder contains a modem setup for the Megahertz 2144 PC Card for use with Modem Enabler 1.0 (and later?) of the Newton(tm) and this document. Please install Apple Modem Enabler 1.0(or later?) for Newton. After you installed Modem Enabler, then you can install the setup package. Once the setup is installed, go to the Modem preference and select the Megahertz 2144 PC item from the Connect with pop-up. That's it, now faxing and Newton email will use your Megahertz 2144 PC Card. Name = MODEMBRI Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:2:MODEMBRI Size: 30K Date: 9/18/97 Description: ModemBridge 2.6 - this version is unlocked until midnight, October 31st, 1997. At that time, ModemBridge will still work, but only up to 9600 baud. After that time, you will have to register ModemBridge to regain full functionality. ModemBridge (MB) allows another computer to access your Newton's PCMCIA Modem via serial port. This is useful if you don't have the budget for both a PCMCIA modem and a desktop modem. Or you may have a laptop on the road which doesn't have a modem or PCMCIA slot. MB will iconify, allowing you to use your Newton for other tasks, while your desktop/laptop machine is using the modem. Requirements ModemBridge requires Newton OS 2 and a serial connection to a computer (minimum for... Name = MODEMMO1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:2:MODEMMO1 Size: 27K Date: 2/24/96 Description: Modem Modifier - 2.01 by DMP Systems - Modem Modifier v2.01 is a shareware program. It lets you change the modem parameters for Newton NOS 2.0 . For 1.x Newtons, use Modem Modifier v1.12. Modem Modifier relies on the documented format of a modem setup as defined in the Newton Developer Technical Support Sample Code for making a modem setup. It's really a simple format. This documentation is based on the information supplied in the sample code and other sources. It may not be complete and is subject to change. I've also found where the internal modem setups are stored and allow you to copy them. The location of them may change in future Newton OS's. Name = MODEMMOD Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:MODEMMOD Size: 22K Date: 3/12/95 Description: Modem Mod 1.12 - Modem Mod is a shareware program. It lets you change the modem parameters for installed modems. It has been tested on a MP100 and 110. Modem Mod relies on the as yet, totally undocumented format (to me) of a modem setup. I gleaned the information by looking in the soup that holds the modem setup and altering parameters and seeing what they do. Should work just fine as it's really a simple format. Install one of the Modem Packages that came with Modem Enabler. You are going to alter it. If you didn't install one, Modem Mod will alert you. Launch Modem Mod and wait a few seconds for it to set itself up, read the modem entry, display the splash screen. Change parameters to what you want. The changes...

First, I wrote a little app to keep track of the hours I spend working for my various clients (anyone who would like a copy, please ask I haven't distributed it just because I haven't yet decided just what I want to do with it) and then realized that I probably didn't want to let the data accumulate in my Newt forever.

Name = WEBJUMP1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:2:WEBJUMP1 Size: 6K Date: 5/04/97 Description: WebJump 1.2 - allows you to launch URLs from within the Names application of your MessagePad(tm). WebJump(tm) requires NOS2.x and will not run on pre-NOS2.x systems. Also, because it launches URLs, it assumes you have NIE installed, as well as a web browser. WebJump works with the following browsers: NewtsCape and NetHopper. If you have both installed, it will use NewtsCape. WebJump also lets you send a URL from Names to a URL repository program such as pURL or Shuffler. Name = WORDADAY Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:WORDADAY Size: 42K Date: 1/11/96 Description: WordADay 1.02 - WordADay is a Newton package that lets you build your vocabulary and internal dictionary one word a day. It does so by obtaining words from an Internet server via NewtonMail (eWorld) or AmericaOnline (using HardyMacia's Aloha package). Once words are retrieved, they can be stored internally in the WordADay database (soup), or added to the recognition dictionary of the Newton. Each word comes complete with a definition and occassionally a quote/comment from the A.Word.A.Day internet server. Words can be printed, faxed, mailed, or even beamed to another Newton running WordADay. WordADay supports scrolling using the up/down arrows of the Newton, as well as supporting the Find function,... Name = YAPI1 Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:YAPI1 Size: 41K Date:10/03/95 Description: YAPI 1.02 - YAPI is a Newton application that transfers packages to the Newton using the Xmodem protocol. Since it does not require MNP or AppleTalk, as other package downloaders do, packages can be sent from communications software available on most PCs and workstations. Connect a cable between the host and the Newton (more about cables below). Start the comms software on the host (PROCOMM, Zterm, sb, ..., whatever can do Xmodem). Setup the comms software to do Xmodem transfers with 128 byte blocks and checksum error detection. Initiate the Xmodem transfer on the host, then click on the Download button in the YAPI window on the Newton. There is a progress bar in the YAPI window that gives a rough estimate... Name = ZYXEL Path = PDA12:PKGS:COMMUNIC:1:ZYXEL Size: 6K Date: 3/07/95 Description: ZyXEL - This folder contains a modem setup for the external ZyXEL modem for use with Version 1.0 (and later?) of the Newton(tm) modem enabler. I believe that it will work with the Newton Mail but I have no confirmation of that as of yet. I'm pretty sure that it will not allow you to fax because of an incompatibility. The Newton requires Class 1 Fax commands and the ZyXEL doesn't seem to support these. If you get faxing to work I would appreciate some email so that I can update the documentation. After the modem enabler is installed you can install various modem setups. This file contains a setup for the ZyXEL modem and will add a line to the Connect with and Remove Modem Setup items in the modem...
