Convert! 2.0 allows the user to enter and quickly convert between 107 common (and not so common) metric and imperial units. Once the value has been written into a field Convert! automatically calculates the corresponding units in the table. You can then simply overwrite any field with a new value and have the whole table recalculate. This new version includes: * complete rewrite from the ground up, much more efficient use of memory * user definable settings (US/UK volumes, result accuracy). * supports "whole unzit conversions" ie 300.6 cm = 3.28 yards or 3 yards, 0 ft, 10.35ins * 70 new conversions including Pressure,Energy,Time,Power,Velocity,Computing #### BINHEX dont-ask.hqx **** Date: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 21:07:59 -0400 From: weyer@netaxs.com (Steve Weyer) Subject: Don't Ask ("Do you want to add...") kbd utility Keywords: keyboard, prompt, source, Newt Don't Ask (Don't Tell) is a simple, tiny app (autopart) that adds a button (at lower left) in the standard Newton keyboard so that you can turn off/on the "Do you want to add..." prompt, which you may find annoying or sometimes desirable...

Elegance installs a small, movable toolbar on the Newton's screen. This toolbar provides instant access to a set of basic features that deal with the look of text. The toolbar also allows the user to custom build additional menus that bypass the time consuming steps required to use many of the Newton's own tools. This version will work in Demo mode for about a month or if you already own Elegance you can use your existing key to register it. The enclosed user manual is in Adobe Acrobat format.

GraffitiPatch is a small patch that enhances Palm Computing's Graffiti. It allows quick access to Graffiti from the standard Newton keyboard, as well as Personal Media. It also allows you to shrink the Graffiti window and/or drag it partially off-screen, giving you much more flexibility in placement. Palm Computing does not approve or disapprove of this enhancement.

Graffiti uses an easy to learn English-like alphabet to improve Newton's handwriting recognition. Users who had to write slowly now report being able to take real-time notes on their Newt at lessons, meetings etc. (ref posts on comp.sys.newton.misc). The overwhelming majority of reports I've seen have been positive, and the learning time for the modified characters is reported at half at hour or so. Since I couldn't find it on the main archive sites, and couldn't get any connect time to its current archive at ftp.netcom.com, I'm sending it here (with Palm's permission).

I'm resending it with the text of the BinHex archive included directly in the message. < Overview > 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. #### BINHEX ipp-d-14.hqx **** From: 01353.2024@compuserve.com Subject: FreeBack About "i++" - German version (OS2.x only) This is the German version of i++ that seamlessly integrates in OS2.

Includes KwikText-- to store commonly-used words, addresses, phrases etc. and recall via a name you assign.  KwikMenu lets you quickly: create a new meeting, note or todo, connect to your desktop computer, send/receive mail, restart, change font characteristics, create a glossary entry (KwikText) from selected text, cÛmopy/paste using multiple clipboards, connect to the Inspector (a developer's tool), type personal info (ie. nÛmame, address, phone etc.), dial a selected number, rotate the screen and more. All this functionality is available three ways: 1) From a floating palette, 2) icons on the notepad button bar or 3) hot spots below the built in Newton icons. You can configure the use of each. When you purchase KwikMenu you also get Dan Rowley's GestureLaunch Lite, Hardy Macia's ScrollingDoPopup and an optimized version of KwikMenu for the Newton 2.0 OS. With GestureLaunch Lite you can rapidly open any of your favorite packages with a single stroke, or invoke one of a list of actions. ScrollingDoPopup provides unlimited scrolling menus in the NewÛmton 1.x OS.  This "Test Drive" version is fully functional and will run for 30 days. The special introductoÛmry price for the full version is $39.95 For additional information, contact: LandWare Inc. by phone at: 201 347-0031, FAX at: 201 347-0340, email to:info@landware.com or website http://www.landware.com. #### BINHEX mac-pict-to-newton.hqx **** From: Paul M Sheldon Subject: MacPictToNewton Though apple doesn't support pict2's on a newton, I do. The following is $5 shareware. It uses any pict file as input and outputs a slurpee text file. What is a slurpee text file, you might ask? With any ascii sending communications program on mac, the newton slurpee communications program on newton decodes a slurpee text file into a newton binary file. With these, you can get both mac text and graphics through the serial port on a newton! Now, to make the pictures, add mac shareware print2pict and you can see fully formatted in black and white on your newton anything you can printout, in sharp zoomable scrollable form, stored there as memory saving quickdraw commands (macdrawlike picts). With it you can turn Delorme maps on cd called Street Atlas USA into zoomable scrollable pictures on your newton. First, you print the map with print2pict into a mac picture. Click on the application and a minifinder dialogue shows you pict files to select for processing. It saves all quickdraw pict 2 information except the yellow backgrounds which would obscure things on the newton. I can adapt my source to other maps with other color obscuring features if you want it specialized to your map database output. Just send me a sample. When I receive your shareware fee, I shall send you a zooming scrolling newton pict-viewer program and upgrades will soon be made available, if there is sufficient such encouraging response, for a full blown gps navigational system (for an additional fee of $10). Send $5 to my address and you will enter my gps beta test community and get deals on the navigational upgrades. Paul M.

Thanks go out to Gilbert Green at Cornell Medical School for the suggestions (and the shareware fees!). It's a replacement for the Styles app. It gives you more font, sizes, styles and pen widths. It also has some quick text functions; Uppercase, Lowercase and Capitalize. It's $15 Shareware. It's suggested than you install this app internally. It's not necessary, but it will consume a bit less heap space that way. For those of you with really overloaded MP0/100 machines, sorry if it takes too much heap space.

The "PDA Package Downloader 1.5" (PPD) is the follow-up to the successful "Newton Package Downloader 1.0" (NPD). The PPD is a simple utility which allows the user to download Newton Packages or Newton Updates from a Macintosh into a Newton. PPD now supports serial connections, as well as AppleTalk, between a Macintosh and a Newton. Further, PPD offers "background listening" operation: it will remain in the background, silently listening for connections initiated by the Newton. Some features in short: - Drag and Drop installing of Newton Packages and Newton Updates; - Support for AppleTalk and serial connections; - Works in the background; - No need to activate, will listen for connections all the time; - Requires a minimum of disk and memory space; - Will run on any Macintosh equipped with System 7 (or higher); - Documentation in a stand-alone application. The "PDA Package Downloader 1.5" is $20 shareware for one user. This small fee encourages us to continue the development of PPD and other affordable shareware utilities for the Newton. PPD licenses are also available. PPD 1.5 will be available shortly through the newton.uiowa.edu, sumex-aim, umich archives, compuserve, applelink, and other online services. --- Peter Kaas (email: kaas@knoware.nl) Lunatech Research disclaimers: Apple and the Apple logo are registered trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc.

PopExtras consists of two parts, the first being a button which is attached to the status bar of the background application (eg Notepad). Tapping this button will present you with a pop-up menu containing a user definable list of apps installed on the Newton. Tapping an app name will open that app! The second part of PopExtras is the utility that is used to select which apps will be displayed in the popup button. This utility consists of a scrolling list which contains the apps installed on the Newton. Tapping on an item in the list will place a check to the left of the app name, tapping again will remove the check. Simple. There is also a Clear button which will uncheck all items. Next to the Clear button is an Open button which can be used to open the selected app (whether it is checked or not). Checking and unchecking items will be immediately reflected in the popup menu (only visible if you close the Extras Drawer after opening PopExtras). Some Important Information PopExtras will create a union soup called ³PopExtras:comet², at install time, on your Newton. This soup is used to store the items that will be displayed in the popup. I have tested PopExtras rigorously to ensure it does not incur the wrath of the ŒGrip-O-Death¹ god. This is not a guarantee, just a fair amount of reassurance ;-) It should also be noted that this version of PopExtras will only run on Newton 2.0 devices. Version Log: 2.0 € Whoa...big step, NOS 2.0 complience...only took a few hours to get it running nicely under 2.0. No functional changes. Some code tidying. I'm not using quite so many undocumented features now! There are still a couple - but I won't tell if you don't! Added registration scheme to save sending out personalised copies everytime someone registered... #### BINHEX prefs-patch-12.hqx **** Date: Mon, 12 Dec 1994 00:00:38 -0700 (MST) From: Tom Collins/Innovative Computer Solutions Subject: PrefsPatch 1.2 - Newton Pref/Formula Patch PrefsPatch is a patch for the MessagePad which corrects an annoying user interface "feature." Namely, that you have to tap twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls. When you install PrefsPatch, it replaces the close box in these rolls with one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll.

QuickPress is a small Macintosh application that lets you drag'n drop text from any application on your Desktop onto the Notepad on your Newton platform. It's also possible to paste text from an application that doesn't support Drag'n Drop. You simply mark and copy the text you want to move and paste it over the QuickPress window. That's all you have to do! Simple and powerful! QuickPress communicates with the Shuffler protocol. You have to have either the QuickPress Server, Shuffler Server or any other Shuffler protocol compatible application installed on your Newton.

Enjoy. #### BINHEX rncu-11.hqx **** Date: 16 May 1995 17:22:10 -0700 From: "Tony Jacobs" Subject: RNCU1.1 WHAT IS THE REVELAR NEWTON CONNECTION UTILITY (RNCU)? It is an alternative to Apple's Newton Connection Kit (NCK), and permits you to have a real time connection to the basic features of your Newton. It works with the Original MessagePad* (OMP), MP100, MP110, and MP120. If you are tired of the Newton's cumbersome handwriting recognition input, this program lets you link your Macintosh to the Newton and type in your Notes, Names, Dates, and To Do items. You can also delete or modify any of them as well. Furthermore, you can import tab-delimited text files (i.e. spreadsheet) into Notes, Names, and Dates. It's a real no-brainer. The RNCU Help file takes you through step-by-step. The contents of this archive and the self extracting archive itself was scanned with Disinfectant 3.6.

SleepAid covers all aspects of power management. It replaces the default "Sleep" preferences allowing you to set two sleep times - one for battery and one for AC. It lets you reboot or sleep 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 corner for an instant reading of free heap space. Update reduces heap memory requirements. Shareware, $5.
