as much as 10k in heap (similar to RAM on a desktop machine.) This means

that you can have more extensions and applications loaded at once, and you

will get fewer memory-related problems and restarts. Each loaded

application or extension takes up a small amount of heap. Since the

NotePad is not used all the time, closing it when not used means there's

more heap available the rest of the time. You should usually try to keep

your heap above 35-40k after a restart (it will drop lower as you use your

 Description:

 SoupCleaner 1.0 - I've noticed that over time some of the Date Soup's

entries get corrupted. By that I mean that some entries will loose

required slots or that these slots will contain some invalid entries. Each

entry consists of required slots like the mtgStartDate slot which

specifies the start date of the event. If that slot is missing, the

event-in most cases if not all-will not be displayed. SoupCleaner will

attempt to examine each entry and determine whether or not any slots are

missing or corrupted. Corrupted entries can also be repaired depending on

the user setting.

 Drag 3.0 - Drag makes windows draggable. The Find and Assist windows can

now be moved along with many other windows (Connection, InBox, OutBox,

Card, CallSlip, DateSlip and it even works with some non-builtin programs

such as QuickMoney). Big deal? Well, have you ever tried Find in the Names

just to discover you can't see the data you wish to look at because the

Name card is in All Info view instead of Card and Notes view. So, you have

to close the Find window switch the Show setting and then Find again. If

you have 500+ names you probably wish you could just drag the Find window

instead of re-finding the data again.

 NoPasswordInk 2.0 - NoPasswordInk turns off the pen's ink when you enter

the password into the Newton's builtin password screen. This allows for

more security because you don't have to worry about people looking over

your shoulder while the Newton translates the ink into your password. You

can install this program on your card or internal memory, but it works

better if you install it internally. If you install it on the card then

you will have to wait for NoPasswordInk.pkg to be loaded before it is

useable. Installing internally the package will be loaded quicker so that

you can start writing your password right away without needing to wait for

the memory card to load.

no matter what app you're using (so long as it's not a floating app like

the Mail Editor.) It will also allow you to close the note pad, saving a

few K of heap space. Note Man will place a small button in the upper left

or upper right of your screen (depending on whether you've installed the

(RT) or (LT) versions.) Tapping the button will bring the Note Pad to the

front if there's another app in front of it, or close it if it's in front.

Double tapping the button will switch it to the other side.

 Description:

 MultiNames 1.1 - Loading too many names into addresses really slows you

down! I discovered a hack that lets you make the Names application open

other files. So now I can have more than one telephone file on the

Newton--like my old Sharp organizer that had three separate telephone

files. MultiNames lets you perform the same magic. There are two parts.

MultiNames itself is a autopart that changes the effect of tapping on the

Names button. If there are other contact files installed, a list of all

contact files pops up, and selecting one opens it in the Names

application. Names Utility lets you create or remove the other contact

files and provides some options for filling them.

move the entire soup from one store to another. See what apps add to your

Newt (and remove the stuff if they dont clean up after themselves!).

Create new slots, entries, and soups of your own. Modify the contents of

first and second level entry slots. Remove a single entry from a soup, or

all of them. Remove a soup entirely from a store. Print, Fax, or Mail a

printout of an entry. From Mark Underwood, NANUG president.

 Trash Folder 1.0 - Trash Folder is a simple Newton application that lets

you delete all the notes from any folder you choose. You select a folder,

and Trash Folder will then delete every note it finds in that folder.

Trash Folder is useful if you want to delete old folders, or use one or

more folders for temporary items. For instance, I kept all of the source

code for Trash Folder in a temporary folder. When I was certain I was done

with the project I saved all the source to my Mac and then deleted all the

source from the temporary folder by using Trash Folder.

 Sieve 1.0 - Sieve is a simple app that lets you run the standard sieve

benchmark which calculates a fixed number of prime numbers. My original

OMP ran the benchmark in about 143 seconds. My MP 100 runs it in about 65

seconds! Sieve was developed ON my Newton (not on a Macintosh or Windows

pc) using Steve Weyer's amazingly wonderful Newt 3.0 developement

platform. Newt 3.0 allows you to develop complete NewtonScript

applications that produce true Newton packages on your MessagePad. The

actual package was then extracted by synchronizing my Newton using the

Apple NCK and then pulling the package from it via the shareware

ExtractPackages 1.1. Sieve is a Standalone package.

 the filing on the Newton, as well as to allow for more filing categories.

Normally, when you file an item, you tap on the the folder icon, and a

tap the File button. This seemed like a lot of work to me (I'm pretty lazy

;-) So now, when you want to file an item, you tap on the folder icon, and

a pop up list pops up. The current folder has a check mark next to it, and

you can file an item simply by tapping on the new folder. To edit your

than you will not be bugged by those annoying The current note is too

large. To start a new note, draw a line across the note pad. messages. If

a note gets too big (near the current free heap of the Newton) it will

start to slow down. The best policy is to always keep your note to at most

1/2 of the current free heap, and probably 1/3. To find your current note

size, tap the 'i' button at it's top. To get the current heap, try using

something like ICS's SleepAid (a very cool app, I gotta say.).

the Notepad's inconveniences. It was inspired in part by the Graffiti

Scratchpad. Basically Longer gives you scrolling capacity and avoids the

Notepad's limits on the length of text. You can import notes from the

Notepad and export back. You can also save your work into Longer's own

soup. Finally, Longer can copy the text contained in a Paperback package.

Although Longer scrolls more slowly than a Paperback package does, and

Longer text should probably be no more than 20k, Longer provides similar

capabilities - including Find - and in Longer you can modify the text.

 no icon in your extras drawer) which, when installed, will allow any menu

with too many items to fit on screen to scroll. If there are more items

after the items shown, tapping on Next will show the next screenful, and

tapping Prev will show the previous screen. The most common use for this

is the card app in the extras drawer. Now, if there are more than 23

packages installed on your newton, you can get to all of them to delete

those you no longer want. NOTE - There is a conflict with Hardy Macia's

your Newton even if some errant application wants it to stay awake. And

finally, it adds a SleepAidNow corner for one tap sleep and a HeapStatus

 Description:

 SleepSoundPro 0.10 - SleepSoundPro (SSP) is a Newton application that lets

a user change the Sleep and Wake Up sounds their Newton will make.

Normally, the Newton does not make a sound when you turn it off and on.

This is a bit boring, so we wrote SleepSound. Features got added,

improvements were made and far too much time was spent on a Shareware app.

We've added the ability in SleepSoundPro to support Sound Packages. We're

distributing the format of Sound Packages freely so that others may create

packages usable with SleepSoundPro. If you're interested in creating Sound

Packages, contact us via e-mail. Please note that this is a demo version

of this package and it will expire 30 days after you install it.

 All Thumbs 0.5 - Tired of hitting that darned overview button (*) when you

turn the pages on your digital books? All Thumbs to the rescue! This little

hack adds three buttons to the display when a book is opened. A left, right

and drag button. Their functions are pretty obvious. Tap, hold and then

drag the grey area and you can move All Thumbs anywhere on the screen. All

Thumbs will close automatically when you close the book. Please note that

this is a demo version of this package and it will expire 30 days after

you install it. This version will totally expire on 12/31/95 and will not

let you install or use it after that date. Shareware.



 Name  =  QUICKALL

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:QUICKALL

 Size:  7K         Date: 2/22/95        

 Description:

 QuickAll - QuickAll is a small autopart that you install on your Newton.

You can install it on your card or in internal memory. It does not show up

in the Extras Drawer. What does QuickAll do? QuickAll will quickly change

your Names and Notes categories to 'All' whenever you reset your Newton.

That's all it does. It take up NO heap memory, and about 2kb of card or

internal memory. How does it work? QuickAll comes to life when you Reset

you Newton. It sneaks in and changes the filing settings of the NotePad

and Names to All. It has to open and close Names to change its settings,

so don't be alarmed when this happens. It will happen when you first

install QuickAll as well.

 Description:

 NameStart 1.0 - NameStart was formerly Names To All Overview. This mini-app

 will automatically set your name file to open to all names and in whatever

mode you select when the Newton is restarted. This reduces the time to open

the names app (since it doesn't have to search through all your folders.)

 The modes, with their associated packages, are - Card, Card and Notes, All

Info, Overview (full screen) and Overview (half screen).

 NameIndexer 1.1 - NameIndexer adds an option to the Names Button that, when

 clicked in the bottom half of the button, pops up the alphabet to zap you

to the first entry starting with that letter in the Names File. It also

offers you the option of quickly creating a new card in just one step. It

uses less than 10K of uncompressed RAM and just a few hundred bytes of

system heap. We hope you find this program useful and problem free.

However, we are not responsible for any problems or damage resulting from

its use or misuse. The program is shareware and can be registered for a

mere $4.99, or five bucks if you feel better thinking about money that

way. Although inexpensive, we are serious about this shareware fee...

 AddtoDict 2.13 - The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition

dictionary in the first versions is appalling. Having to use the

soft-keyboard to type stuff in all the time is a drag. And then it asks

you if you want to add the word to the User Dictionary as well! This

really gets in the way. AddToDict is a small Newton application that

allows multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. It also

has a couple of other goodies. 2.11 has some System management features

and automatic addition from your Notes and Names. Take a look at the Pro

features. They give you a look at the potential of a future Professional

 TrueNames 1.0 - TrueNames is a simple Newton application that lets you

assign a name to your MessagePad's internal and/or card storage. Just

choose a predefined name from the popup labels, or write in your own, and

tap the Set... button. There's no grip o' death, so you can eject the card

and insert another one if you have multiple cards you want to name. Try it

for 10 days and then pay for it or erase it. Why name the stores? Because

you can. Also, it's a welcome change from the Card 1, Card 2, and the

other boringly generic names that NCK creates when you synchronize. Names

make it easier to determine which archive is which, and makes it imposible

for NCK to switch the names on you (as it can with the Card #...

It can display, print, fax, e-mail or serially transmit a detailed report

of soups, packages, memory usage, add-on prefs and formulas, power-off

handlers, idlers, find-enabled packages, and intelligent assistance

packages. Users can find out what's taking up so much space on their

of every word in the current note, either capitalizing only the first

letter, the entire word, or converting the entire note to lower case. It

places a button with an a in the status bar of the notepad. Tapping the

 Description:

 Disabler 0.5b1 - Heuristically adjusts the clock on startup, reclaims up to

10K of system memory, and allows the user to disable all InstallScripts, or

just InstallScripts on a card. Disabling InstallScripts may help avoid

(temporarily) conflicts and Out of Memory errors. Some features require or

prefer that Disabler be installed internally; i.e., not on a memory card.

Disabling InstallScripts requires that Disabler be installed internally.

Disabling internal InstallScripts requires that it be the first package

installed internally. The clock adjustment heuristic may not work well

unless the package is installed internally, but should still be better

than nothing. Reclaiming memory should work fine anywhere.

the Time Zones app? AddCity was originally written to allow me to add

Calgary, my home town, which wasn't in the original Newton (now it is).

Version 1.5 of AddCity adds support for adding multiple cities, using a

soup. Simple click AddCity, Enter the City name, latitude, longitude,

hours from gmt, country adn area code, then click I'm Here and you're set!

Version 1.5.1 of AddCity added support for multiple cities, using a soup.

 Store Keeper 1.0 - Store Keeper is a simple little package to change your

default store to the internal RAM whenever the calendar or names apps are

open, so that data entered there ends up on the internal memory rather

than the card. When the app is closed it then resets the default store to

whatever it was before it was opened. If, however, you open the names

file, for example, and then open the extras drawer and download a package

without reseting the default store via the card app, the package will end

up on the internal RAM.

coworker, but couldn't 'cause the recognition would get all screwed up?

Well, the solution is here! With user picker, you can create as many

different user profiles on your Newton as you like. Each profile has all

recognition data (so that the Newt only learns the handwriting of the

current person, and keeps what it's learned separate). It also contains

all personal information (name, address, mail account and password,

 NameSelector 1.0 - This app replaces the funcionality of your names button.

It divides the button into two parts. Tapping on the bottom part of the

button brings up the name file, just like normal. Tapping on the upper

part, however, brings up a small window. Write the letter of the name

 CardFile++ 1.0 - This application is a recreation of the built-in Names

application which takes advantage of two types of learning. It supports

only the detailed Show All view. It is compatible with the built-in Names

application. The application was written for research purposes and

therefore does not contain all the features of a full-blown application,

such as overviews, routing, filing, and intelligent assistance. However,

since cardFile++ is completely compatible with the original Names app, all

of these unimplemented functions can be accomplished through it. The

advantage of cardFile++ over the original Names application is in the

 RoadShow 1.01 - RoadShow is an application for Newton to help make it

easier to configure your PDA's sound and sleep time. Currently, to change

the volume, sound effects and sleep time, you need to go through a

somewhat cumbersome interaction with the Prefs application. With RoadShow,

it becomes easier to switch from being at home and being on the road. With

RoadShow, you can configure your Newton's - sounds effects, volume, sleep

time and system alarm sound for the two locations, and switch very simply

between them. Requires 1.05 or later version of the Newton operating

 App Mem 2.1 - App Memory is a shareware program for disposing of unused

memory that applications leave behind and thus eating up memory. If you

ever get the There is not enough memory - Cancel or Reboot message (who

has not !), then this program is for you. Why does this happen? Because

programs don't free up all the memory they use when they quit. Even the

built in apps don't. So, every time you run a different program, some

memory gets left behind. Soon, not enough memory is available for program

data. Then that message pops up and, if you reboot, you have to reset the

Names, Notes and other apps to show what you want. Some applications may

malfunction or ask for a registration number again. If one does,...

SleepSoundPro. If you don't have SleepSoundPro currently installed on your

Newton, STOP NOW. It's useless to install these without SleepSoundPro

(SSP). A ReadMe file for SleepSoundPro is included with this file if you'd

like more info. On a Newton with SleepSoundPro already installed, simply

install the desired sound. There are four sound files included in this

package. They're the startup beeps from 4 major Macintosh models; the 128,

stroke the stylus over the ScratchPad. Simulates the sound made by

scratching a needle on a record, popularized in some forms of modern

music, especially contemporary urban. When records can no longer be found,

 MagicApp 1.1 - MagicApp is an indispensible program that allows you to move

and copy programs from a Newton to a storage card and copy programs from

one storage card to another with the tap of a pen. Load onto INTERNAL

storage NOT a storage card. Moving and copying programs requires

sufficient free storage space in the INTERNAL storage and on the storage

card. The practical limitations are packages up to 80-90k on MP100s and

2-300k on MP110s. If you have a very full MessagePad or storage card, this

will reduce the size of the program you can move or copy. Runs on the

 What Error 1.1 - Thanks for trying What Error? A while back I put out a

newton book that listed all the errors in the newton, as documented by the

beta version of the Newton Toolkit. Since the new version has come out

(with a whole bunch of new errors,) I haven't had a chance to update the

notes, to do's, addresses and calendar things are stored on the Newton's

internal memory. Once you obtain a PCMCIA card, there is no easy way to

transfer your personal data to the card (to free internal memory or what

have you). CopyMachine lets you do just that. After you launch it, it

shows how many notes, addresses...you have, and where they are stored. You

can then transfer all or some of the items to the PCMCIA card. Or from the

 SysBeep - SysBeep is a small program to give you a different beep sound.

Two packages are included. One says Uh OH, the other, What the Hell?. You

 may install only one package at a time. Just run it once after installing

(or reseting) to activate the new sound. It overrides the normal System

Beep routine. Now, when you get an alert, you will hear Uh Oh or What the

Hell ?, instead of the alarm sound that you selected in the Preferences

Section. To cancel this new beep sound, you need to remove the package or

reset your machine. If you install it in internal memory (it's about 12k),

it won't holler at you when you remove a card. The sounds are from AMUG's

Ashley Barnard, and her mother, Joey Baker.

 BetterFind 1.0 - Better Find is a Newton package which improves Find a

little bit by making it behave more like Assist - if you select some text,

 Description:

 Books Off 2.0 - The Find button in the palette is very useful, especially

the Find All command. It will look at all data in the Newton. But if there

is a digital book, the speed of the command execution will be very slow.

With BooksOff, Find All skips all digital books, so the execution time

becomes very short. Of course, if there is a time that the data in the

digital book is required, BooksOff can be easily turned on or off.

 Description:

 Memfree 0.91 - MemFree shows the amount of memory free as reported by

stats() -- that is, the amount of the NewtonScript heap that's free. The

number is kept up to date by a viewIdleScript (as long as the checkbox is

checked) and the GC button can be used to force a garbage collection if

you want to know the amount of memory that can be made free. It's (in my

opinion) a mildly annoying aspect of stats() that it prints more

information in the inspector window than it returns as a call. For that

reason, if you have the inspector open while MemFree is running, you will

get the output of the stats() call every 3 seconds. Source code is

included.

 Signature - Contains two freeware programs - Signature and Signed.

Signature adds a new preference to the preference roll where the user can

put in their signature. It makes an entry in the userConfiguartion entry

called signature. I hope to include this in future ROMs and want to get

this out so that other applications (like the next one) can take advantage

of it. Signed takes advantage of Signature and adds a new print format to

the paper roll which provides for a letter format that automatically signs

the letter with the signature in the preferences.

will also keep track of the minimum amount of memory it sees. There are

two versions of memory. Memory2 will allow you to change how much memory

is available. This is intended to help developers test for low memory

conditions. You can only load one version of memory at a time. You can

test for low memory conditions in your applications by tapping the down

arrow. This will take away an additional 2000 bytes of memory each time

you tap it. You can return this memory by tapping the up arrow.



 Name  =  REBATE

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:REBATE

 Size:  4K         Date: 4/28/94        

 Description:

 Rebate - Rebate returns some of the memory used on an original Newton

MessagePad when applications are loaded. In that version of Newton, the

install scripts and icon for an application took up place in the working

memory or frames heap. Load lots of applications and the loss of the

memory could be significant. Load this application as the first

application in internal memory and you should have more memory. Owners of

MessagePad 100s (and upgraded MessagePads) and 110s do not need this

program. By Chris Christensen. Takes up 3k on the Newton. 2/21/94.



 Name  =  ONSET1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:ONSET1

 Size: 43K         Date: 4/26/94        

 Description:

 OnSet 1.0 - OnSet will allow you to change your power-on screen picture.

You can change it to a number of preset ROM/system bitmaps or bitmaps that

are stored in a special soup. A few such custom pictures have been included

with the OnSet archive. Make sure that you install OnSet first and then

later install the other packages or you will crash your Newton. After

downloading the package, just open your prefs roll and select Power-On

Screen from the overview list. Clicking on the icon will get you there

too. Select your picture with the arrows and click on the set button.

Whamo! Your newton will now power-on with the picture you selected.



 Name  =  HEAPIT1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:HEAPIT1

 Size: 11K         Date: 3/13/94        

 Description:

 HeapIt 1.0 - HeapIt is a small utility for the Newton MessagePad that

removes InstallScripts from the system heap. The Newton OS leaves the

install scripts in the heap, even though they are only used once. We're

not sure why it does this, but if you have 10-20 apps installed, that's a

lot of heap space! HeapIt also provides a heap space display on the

Card/Backup slip and allows you to run HeapIt from there.When you run

HeapIt, it will list the available heap space (HeapIt uses some of the

heap itself when it runs). If you wish to purge the heap of

InstallScripts, click on the Kill All InstallScripts button. HeapIt will

remove the InstallScripts one by one, updating the heap status as it...



 Name  =  SOUPAWAY

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:SOUPAWAY

 Size: 11K         Date: 3/12/94        

 Description:

 SoupAway 0.01 - The purpose of this application is to allow the user to

purge his/her MessagePad of left over soups from no-longer resident

applications. Back up first. If you use this application, you could lose

data. If you lose data, and you don't have a backup, you no-longer have

that data. When used correctly, it will help free up precious memory on

your Newton!



 Name  =  BUTTON0

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:BUTTON0

 Size:  8K         Date: 2/24/94        

 Description:

 Button - The Button is a program that gives you complete life-or-death

control over your newton's little world. Ok, so all it does is reboot the

newton, but it accomplishes this in a new and unique way. Not only do you

get a nice little icon of a failsafe cover, but clicking on the icon

reveals a big friendly-looking button that nukes the screen and reboots

when pressed. Oh yea, just in case you carelessly leave the failsafe cover

open don't worry; it will close by itself about 6 seconds after it was

opened. This program falls into the category of cute, but not extremely

useful, by-products of my learning process. Feel free to send comments or

offers to improve on my artwork.



 Name  =  SAFEGUAR

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:SAFEGUAR

 Size: 11K         Date: 2/24/94        

 Description:

 Safe Guard 1 - Safe Guard is a utility that allows you to password protect

your PCMCIA cards. In order to use the card, the person inserting the card

must enter the password. In order to use, tap the Safe Guard icon in the

Extras Drawer. Tap the Password button and enter your password to use. Now

whenever the card is put into a Newton, a password screen will open asking

for the password. Upon entering the proper password, Safe Guard will open

itself if someone placed the card into a Newton. Safe Guard will not open

if there is not a log of bad attempts. You may tap any of the bad attempts

in the log to get more info about the attempt. To turn off password

protection, set the password to nothing just as in the Prefs.



 Name  =  BRAIN2

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:BRAIN2

 Size: 11K         Date: 2/09/94        

 Description:

 Brain 2.0 - Battery Brain for Newtons monitors your battery level and can

alert you if the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold. If

you've used your Newton a lot, you already know how quickly it can eat

through batteries. But, you will probably be surprised at how fast your

battery life decreases once your batteries drop below a certain level.

Battery Brain monitors that decrease and will warn you as your batteries

become weaker and weaker. Battery Brain will also automatically turn off

sounds and the Receive beams automatically setting at user defined levels

to help conserve battery power. This version is a complete rewrite from

the ground up, with many changes!



 Name  =  TRASHCAN

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:TRASHCAN

 Size: 11K         Date: 2/05/94        

 Description:

 TrashCan 1.0 - TrashCan is a useful utility for deleting packages from a

Newton. It lists packages on all available stores in one list. The list

even includes the Extras drawer name. Read the easy to follow instructions

before using.



 Name  =  ICEBOX1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:ICEBOX1

 Size: 11K         Date: 2/03/94        

 Description:

 IceBox1.0 - IceBox contains two programs to make life easier with the

Newton. The Newton will only let you see and access 30 programs from the

Extras drawer. IceBox gets around that. It presents a scrolling list of

your programs, allowing you to open those that you can't see in the

drawer. Also included is minimize, which lets you have access at all times

to the your list of programs. You must install these two before you've hit

the limit of 30 (so you can see them and launch em). Caution, I've heard

that loading up your Newton can cause a System Heap problem, and problems

down the road. Just don't put 60 programs on!! If you start noticing

problems (rebooting often...), just reduce your amount of...



 Name  =  BSAVER1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:BSAVER1

 Size: 10K         Date: 2/03/94        

 Description:

 BSaver 1.0 - This package checks the battery level every 60 seconds and

adjusts the sound volume to match your preferences. (High sound settings

drain the battery). Bsaver Sets your sound volume according to battery

status - charged battery - high volume, 25 percent of battery - low

volume. This package works in background until you tap again on it's icon

in the extra drawer. Features - Actual battery level is now a real time

indicator, percent added on each slider, no more error or reset when

removing - reinstall, now enable and disable receive beam automatically if

needed and shows state in the extraDrawer.



 Name  =  PASSWORD

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:PASSWORD

 Size:  6K         Date:12/12/93        

 Description:

 Password - Password is a small utility for quickly turning on an off

password protection on the Newton. Its icon in the extras drawer indicates

whether password protection is currently turned on or off. Click on its

icon to toggle the state. The built-in way of turning on/off password

protection is somewhat cumbersome, especially if you do it often. To turn

off password protection you use Prefs, enter your old password, and leave

the new password line blank. To turn password protection back on, you

return to Prefs and reenter your password. The Password utility is so much

easier!! Use of Password is free of charge.



 Name  =  KILLFIND

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:KILLFIND

 Size:  7K         Date:12/05/93        

 Description:

 KillFind 0.4 - Well, I don't know about you, but I really hate it when the

Newton goes wandering around in World looking for stuff. I basically only

want the Newton to search the Names and the Notes. With the advent of

books, it's a HUGE inconvenience waiting for it to finish with The Jungle

Book when I'm just looking for Rob's phone number! What it does - It

modifies the findApps slot. This is an array that the Newton looks through

when doing finds. It was a pain to find this stuff, not to mention how

irritated the Newton gets when you whack something it _really_ needs.

Don't write to ROM, it just irritates the ROM. <grin>. Pay the shareware

fee!!



 Name  =  SKIP1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:SKIP1

 Size: 11K         Date:11/22/93        

 Description:

 Skip 1.0 - Introducing Skip 1.0, the complete version of the first truly

useful utility for the Newton MessagePad and ExpertPad. Skip is a Styles

shortcut. With Skip installed, the Styles palette is always one tap away,

yet Skip never gets in your way. Skip utilizes the unused space on the

touchscreen which does not cover the active display. Tapping in the upper

left or right corners of your screen will activate Skip and bring forth

the Styles palette. To use Skip, install the appropriate Skip package with

your connection kit. If you want Skip to reside in the top left corner,

install SkipLeft.pkg. For the top right, install SkipRight.pkg.



 Name  =  BEEPBEEP

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:BEEPBEEP

 Size:  9K         Date:11/17/93        

 Description:

 Beep Beep - This is a Newton demo of using sounds and picture resources

directly found in the ROM. It is FiggleWare so if you think its cool, drop

the author a line at erica@cc.gatech.edu and let her know how it went.



 Name  =  STRAINER

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:STRAINER

 Size: 15K         Date:11/15/93        

 Description:

 Strainer 0.8 - Strainer 0.8 is the latest release of the Strainer utility,

adding several new features. Strainer is designed to let you easily mark

and remove entries from your Newton's storage. This can help you to get

around a bug in the Datebook which makes it difficult to delete certain

entries, or to remove outdated entries in order to keep as much memory

free as possible. New features in version 0.8 - You can now mark entries

in multiple soups and strain them all at once; now handles straining of

items on storage cards, if present; Strainer now has dialogs to ask you

what you want to do if you close the app before straining out the entries

you have marked, and more.



 Name  =  SOUPER1

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:SOUPER1

 Size: 31K         Date:11/15/93        

 Description:

 Souper 1.1 - As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton,

I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file (Soup)

easily. I had to delete each record (Entry) individually, so I started to

write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I

began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have

grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability

to select the Store on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to

operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete an entire Soup, Clear all

entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions

Rename, Remove, and Clear operate as you would expect.



 Name  =  REBOOTER

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:REBOOTER

 Size:  5K         Date:11/03/93        

 Description:

 Rebooter - Here's a little Newton utility. It's only function is to allow

you to reboot the Newton from the extras drawer. It puts up a simple

dialog and beeps to warn that it will reboot the machine. If you close it,

it won't, and if you hit the reboot button it will do the deed.



 Name  =  PLACESET

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:PLACESET

 Size:  8K         Date:11/03/93        

 Description:

 PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the

author lives in Seattle and his city isnt in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he

could choose Portland, but it just wasnt right. Also, he prefers using the

24-hour time, and didnt want to choose a French Canadian locale to get it.

Place settings helps you tell the Newton where you really live (you'll have

to know the lattitude and longitude or your local airport), and how you

like your time (12 hour or 24 hour). Complete instructions are included.



 Name  =  AUTODICT

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:AUTODICT

 Size: 10K         Date:11/03/93        

 Description:

 AutoDict 1.1 - Have you ever added people to your Newton Names list using

Newton Connection on the Macintosh? Or have you managed to transfer your

contacts from your company database into your Newton Connection Software?

And then you wanted to call or fax somone and Newton didn't recognize the

name correctly? So you had to add it to your word list (i.e. user

dictionary) manually?!?! Never again! AutoDict automagically scans your

Names soup for new entries and adds the corresponding names (Company,

First, Last,..) to your word list. So the next time after you download new

addresses from your Mac just go to the Extras drawer, tap AutoDict and tap

the Add Names to Dictionary button. Then Newton will recognize...



 Name  =  SAMSSLEE

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:SAMSSLEE

 Size:  8K         Date:11/03/93        

 Description:

 Sam's Sleeper 1.00 - Sam's Sensable Sleeper, when turned on, detects

whether you are operating by plug or by battery. You may then set the

sleep time on your Newton based on whether you are using the plug or the

battery. Thus, if most of the time you use the plug (at your office where

your plug is, perhaps), you can set sleep to never. When you then carry it

around off the plug, you can have the sleep be, say, 1 minute. This way,

you don't have to always dive through a zillion menus just to reset the

sleep. You do it once with this package and the package will do it for you

from then on (if you turn it on).



 Name  =  MINITOOL

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:MINITOOL

 Size: 10K         Date: 8/31/93        

 Description:

 Mini tools - Tools for checking memory and entering Newton Script into the

Newton. Welcome to the Newton mini-tools. This collection of freeware tools

 will grow in time. For this first release, there are two different Newton

applications for you to enjoy - Memory Massager - The prime purpose of this

is to call a garbage collection in your Newton's memory. In theory, this

should get rid of all the dross hanging around. NewtonScriptRunner - This

is a slightly modified version of one of the demos provided with the

Newton Toolkit. NewtonScript, which is the language used to program Newton

systems, can be compiled and run on the fly, and this little utility

allows you to do just this.



 Name  =  MEMORYMA

 Path =  PDA12:PKGS:UTILS:1:MEMORYMA

 Size:  7K         Date: 8/23/93        

 Description:

 MemoryMassager - The prime purpose of this is to call a garbage collection

in your Newton's memory. In theory, such a garbage collection should get

rid of all the dross hanging around, and you may find that this staves off

the need to restart from time to time (when using version 1.02 of the

Newton OS). It incidentally includes information about free and total

memory, battery power, and battery compartment temperature, all of which

are available in other tools on the Newton. However, try tapping on the

temperature bar... Everything else should be self-explanatory.
