1. Brief Introduction to PowerTrans

-----------------------------------



   PowerTrans is the very first multilingual dictionary for the Newton 

   with integrated vocabulary learning mode.



   PowerTrans is based on a comfortable dictionary, which allows

   entering new words, changing and deleting words. All functions are

   also accessible from an overview mode. All words can be assigned to

   grammatical categories.



   The powerful learning function allows the flexible and determined

   learning of user chosen words from the dictionary. Any word in

   dictionary can be marked for learning. PowerTrans takes the

   individual learning skill of the user into account. With a daily time

   of 30 minutes you can learn 1000 to 2000 words per month in an

   effortless way.



   The filter selection function allows you to access a specific subrange 

   of a language.



   This version contains four languages: English, German, Spanish

   and French (1700 words per language). You are able to access

   translations between each of these languages.



   PowerTrans allows a arbitrary number of languages, which can be

   configured by the user. Languages can be located on a Storage Card

   or on Internal Storage, since PowerTrans supports all Storage Card

   functions.



   PowerTrans vocabulary files can be created or extended with a text

   editor on PC, Macintosh, OS/2 and UNIX platforms. They can be

   transferred in both directions between your Newton and a desktop

   computer by using a terminal program. PowerTrans supports the Xmodem

   protocol for a secure data transfer.

7. Using the Electronic Manual

------------------------------



   The PowerTrans manual 'manual.pdf' is initially available as an

   Adobe Acrobat file (screenshots, bookmarks, hypertext links, 

   searchable, printable in high quality).

   Other specific formats like Microsoft Word and DocViewer are not

   likely since Acrobat, HTML and NewtonBooks should be more useful,

   common and portable.



   Why Acrobat?  Acrobat Reader is a viewer application for Adobe's

   family of products based on PDF (Portable Document Format) files;

   the release includes readme, help and sample documents; other

   products are Exchange and Distiller. The PDF format and Acrobat API

   are published. PDF files are compact and cross-platform compatible.

   FREE versions of Reader are available for Macintosh, Windows, Unix

   and DOS. If you don't already have the Acrobat Reader, you need to 

   download it from Adobe. I highly recommend to print out this manual.



   Acrobat Reader (2.1) is available from:



   [CompuServe:CIS]

      GO ACROBAT or GO ADOBE, "Download Acrobat Viewer"

      (Macintosh, Windows, DOS)

8. Installing and Getting Started

---------------------------------



   1) Introduction



      We recommend to read the electronic manual 'manual.pdf' for a

      detailed description of installing and getting started.



      First install the package 'powertr.pkg' on your Newton by using

      the Apple Newton Connection Kit.



      Before you can use PowerTrans for the first time, you have to set

      up at least two languages.

   

      Next you can enter words yourself or import words from the

      accompanied vocabulary.



   2) Setting up a language



      * Tap on one of the language buttons on the Status Bar at the

        bottom of the screen. If you didn't already set up a language

        the caption "<none>" is shown on the buttons.



      * Select "New..." from the language picker.



      * Tap on "Language ID" and select the desired language from the

        list. To scroll through more entries of the list use the ">Next>"

        and "<Prev<" entries. If the desired language isn't predefined in

        the list, you can select from "Lang0" to "Lang9" instead.

        Languages already chosen are marked with a leading "/", e.g.

        "/English", and cannot be selected a second time. You should

        select your mother tongue the first time.



      * You may change the language description in the input field if

        you want another description for the language. The language

        description is among other things used for the caption of the

        language buttons in the Status Bar.



      * Tap on [X] to close the dialog or "Cancel" to abort the set up

        process.



   3) Importing vocabulary files via Xmodem-Protocol



      You need a terminal program on your desktop PC/MAC for transferring

      data. Furthermore your desktop PC has to be connected with a

      serial cable to your Newton. You should use the same cable provided

      with Newton Connection Kit.

      

      Read the manual chapter of your terminal program regarding the

      transfer of binary data. PowerTrans is using the Xmodem protocol

      for the data transfer. This protocol ensures that all information

      is safely transferred between your desktop PC and your Newton.

      Therefore you should only use terminal programs which are capable

      of the Xmodem protocol.



      Set up the following parameters in your terminal program:

      * Com Port settings: 9600 Baud or 57600 Baud, 1 Stopbit, no parity.

      * no Hardware Handshake, no Data Compression, XON/XOFF disabled.

      * If your terminal program supports several Xmodem variants:

        Do not use Xmodem-1kB or Xmodem/CRC. PowerTrans uses Xmodem with

        128 Byte Blocks/Checksum. The CRC option is not supported by

        PowerTrans. If your are in doubt you should just try the

        different Xmodem variants, PowerTrans will only transfer valid

        data in any case.



      Use the supplied vocabulary files for importing. It is recommended

      that you use a small vocabulary file for the first data transfer.

      Therefore start with one of the vocabulary files consisting of 100

      words.



      * Start a terminal program (Xmodem file transfer) on your desktop

        PC/MAC and select a vocabulary file.



      * Select a source and destination language combination on your

        Newton which matches the language combination of the selected

        file on your desktop PC/MAC.

        See also: "Selecting a Language"



      * Tap on the routing button in the Status Bar and select

        "Import..." from the picker.



      * Set the desired data transfer speed in the dialog. The selected

        data transfer speed must match the configuration of your

        terminal program on your desktop computer.



      * Next start the data transfer on your desktop PC by choosing

        "Send File" or a similar command. 



      * Tap on [X] to start the data transfer or "Cancel" to abort the

        import. 



      The data transfer between your desktop PC and your Newton will now

      start. If your terminal program shows three block repetitions 

      right at the beginning of the connection followed by an error

      message, this is normal behaviour as long as the further transfer

      runs without errors. This is due to the fact that many terminal

      programs test if CRC is supported by PowerTrans right at the

      beginning of the transfer.



      If the connection gets interrupted during import for some reasons,

      simply restart the transfer. Since PowerTrans handles the import

      function similar to the manual entry of new words, only words not

      already present on your Newton will be imported.





9. How to upgrade PowerTrans to Newton OS 2.0

---------------------------------------------



   If you used PowerTrans V1.0 with Newton OS 1.3 please take the 

   following steps before (!!!) you upgrade your Newton to OS 2.0:



   1) Remove PowerTrans V1.0 from you Newton and install

      PowerTrans V1.1



   2) Export all language-combinations (mark 'Learn') to a

      MAC/Windows-system



   3) Upgrade your Newton to Newton OS 2.0 by sending it to the 

      Apple Upgrade Center or (in some countries) by changing the 

      OS ROM yourself.



   4) Remove all PowerTrans-Soups from your Newton (if you have any

      after upgrading). Don't forget your PCMCIA-Cards.



   5) Use a soup-program (StewPot) and select the soup 'System'.

   

   6) Browse to the entry where the tag-slot contains 'PowerTrans'.



   7) Remove this entry. Be 100% sure that you remove *only* the 

      entry and not the entire system soup !!!. 



   8) Install PowerTrans V1.1 (if necessary).



   9) Create your languages and import the languages-files you have 

      saved in step 2).





10. History

-----------



   [PowerTrans 1.0] 03/14/96



   [PowerTrans 1.1] 04/08/96

      * Fully compatible with Newton OS 1.3 and OS 2.0

      * Bug-Fix: slots 'stOther' and 'stThis' will now be 

        imported properly from ASCII-Files (e.g. ge-en.txt, en-ge.txt).

      * Tap and double-tap will now work in input-fields.

      * Bug-Fix: if no User Name was given in the Newton preferences  

        PowerTrans was hanging on start.        





11. Future Enhancements for PowerTrans

--------------------------------------



   When the first announcement for PowerTrans was released, I received

   a lot of email with the question what the future PowerTrans updates

   will contain:



   * The number of words of all languages will be increased to more

     than 10.000 words/language (English, Spanish, German and French)

   * localized keyboard for different languages

   * Languages which can be installed as packages

     (no terminal-program necessary).

   * Better performance

   * Language specific version for German

   * Statistical functions for the learning mode

   * Synthetic Speech Output (far future)



   Send us an email if you have any suggestions you would like to be

   considered for the next versions of PowerTrans.

   If you want to be informed on news, please send us an email also.





12. Terminal Programs Supporting Xmodem-protocol

------------------------------------------------



  [Macintosh]

     * Black Night 1.0.1 (PowerTrans was tested with this program).

     * ZTerm; available in just about any Mac shareware/freeware archive.



     For "stock" options, if your Mac came with a copy of

     ClarisWorks, you can easily set up a terminal document just 

     for connecting to PowerTrans.



  [Win3.1]

     The Windows3.1 Terminal program is not able to send files by

     Xmodem-protocol (import). Receiving works fine (export).



     Programs supporting Xmodem protocol:



     * Procomm Plus 2.1, Datastorm Technologies, UK (Win3.1, WIN95)

     * Telix 1.10a, ELSA GmbH, Germany (Win3.1)

     * Smartcom 1.0c, Hayes, UK (Win3.1)

     * Unicom 4.0, Data Graphics, USA (Win3.1)

     * Telemate 1.0, White River Software, CAN, (Win3.1), Shareware



  [WIN95]

     The original HyperTerminal from Hilgrave on the WIN95-CD has a bug

     receiving files by Xmodem-protocol (export). If a transmission error

     occurs HyperTerminal exceeds error count, because it is not able

     to do retransmission. Sending files works fine (import).



     Use the update-version from Hilgrave which you can download free:

     ftp://www.hilgraeve.com/pub/vendor/hilgraeve/htpe1.zip 

     (Size about 630kB)



  [OS/2]

     * ZOC 2.13, EmTec GmbH, Germany, Shareware

     * Live Wire/WPS 3.1, Data Mirage Software, USA, Shareware

     * PMComm 2.32, Multi-Net Communications, USA



  If you have any problems with these or other terminal-programs

  please send us an email.





13. Where to Get Cheap PCMCIA-Flash Cards?

------------------------------------------



  PowerTrans depends on external PCMCIA Storage Cards for storing large

  vocabularies. You will be able to hold about 6000-7000 Words on 1 MB

  of storage space.



  Insiders expect the prices for PCMCIA Flash Memory Cards will fall 

  dramatically. The cheapest cards I know of can be obtained from the 

  following address:



     TecSys GmbH

     Karl-Theodor-Strasse 55

     80803 Muenchen

     Germany



     phone: +49 (0)89 3071096

     fax:   +49 (0)89 3072165



  If you order a Flash Card, tell them that you need it for the Newton.



  For example they sell a 16MB Flash Card for 874,00 DM (~600 USD).

  If you know cheaper sources, please tell us.





14. Distributing Your Own Vocabulary Files

------------------------------------------



   It is our goal to provide as many languages and vocabularies as

   possible in the near future to make PowerTrans a popular application

   for the Newton.



   We will support everybody who plans to publish languages for

   PowerTrans. A future version will allow a binary-mode for languages,

   which will support commercial interests of third-party suppliers.



   If you intend to distribute your own created languages for

   PowerTrans, please send us an email.
