There are two floating view protos. One is for date only entry and the other is for date and time entry. Both of these protos are based on a third proto which is used to control the calendar. The other protos included I pulled from on of my programs so that you can see how to interface with the date/time picker proto. Actually, I changed the date and time protos to use my protos so that I could have floating date editors and the buttons are sized correctly. Name = DBPANEL0 Path = PDA12:PKGS:PROGRAM:1:DBPANEL0 Size: 9K Date: 6/27/94 Description: DbPanel 0.91 - DBPanel allows the user to set the trace, breakOnThrows, and printDepth debug globals without having to type into the inspector window. The simplest thing to do is to run DBPanel and then run the app under test. As long as that app isn't based on a floating view, the floater should remain accessible. The floater can be moved by dragging so as to avoid obscuring the interesting parts of the app underneath. I wrote DBPanel after seeing a similar app that saved one from having to find a pause in the inspector output. I took the idea a little farther, adding the breakOnThrows and printDepth globals and a viewIdleScript that keeps the checkboxes in sync if you do change the values by typing in the...

Name = ICONEDIT Path = PDA12:PKGS:PROGRAM:1:ICONEDIT Size: 11K Date: 5/23/94 Description: Icon Editor 1.1 - First off I'd like as many programmers as possible to use it if they're doing icon editing of any sort, since this will reduce overhead on a newt if multiple programs want to do this. If your a developer, you can include this app in package form with your app at no charge (just send me a copy). Pretty much useless to non-developers at this point, except to play with. Icon Editor now complies with the 'accepted' methods for routing and such (I cheated with version 1.0.) The most important change is that icons are now saved as bitmaps (binary objects, thanks Mike.)

Make sure you can see the insertion point and then tap the Paste button. Edit the... Name = INTERNAL Path = PDA12:PKGS:PROGRAM:1:INTERNAL Size: 11K Date:11/15/93 Description: Internals pkg and source code - When first starting Newton development I fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists seemed pretty interesting, but the sample was a little too simple. So I extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did some major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again yesterday, and cut at least one third of the code and slots! I hereby give this code away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far from), but because it might give other novices some help.

Name = LLAMADOS Path = PDA12:PKGS:PROGRAM:1:LLAMADOS Size: 30K Date: 5/07/94 Description: Llama Dos 1.12 - While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a feature found on most computers - a command line interface for system management. Rather than invent a new interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS implements the worlds most widely used interface, with well over 40 million users - DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to make sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface survived intact on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12. With LlamaDOS, a user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of their system using the same commands they have used for years on PCs.
