Soup Mixer 2.1.1



Description

Soup Mixer is a soup manager for the Newton MessagePad.  It was created because of the poor quality or functionality of soup managers that we looked at.  Some of the formatting problems that we encountered in other managers may be in our own, as we've only been able to test it on MessagePad 110s.

Features include:

- Movement and duplication of soups of varying stores.

- Deletion of soups.

- Emptying of soups (removal of their entries).

- Hierarchical viewing of soup contents to the n-th level.  (Just tap the items you wish to expand.)

- Deletion and duplication of soup entries.

- Global Garbage collection thrown in for free.

Features don't include:

- Modification of soup entries in any way.

Known Problems:

- Occasionally moving through soup entries slows down to a crawl because of soup access time, this can be sped up with a garbage collection.
