It's a Newton Utility
BooksOff can save your life from long long waiting time when you
do "Find All". It add a checkbox "Don't Search in Books" on Find
Dialog. Generally information you want to get exists on "Names",
"Notes", "To Do" or any application specific data, not on Digital
Books. BooksOff can skip searching in books, so you can get result
more faster. It's easy to turn off this function, so no probrem
when you really want to get information in the book.
Version 2.0 : Now it's auto part. There's no icon in extras
drawer. This is like Macintosh's INIT file.

Convert! for the Newton Messagepad v 2.0
Just as Newton is a replacement for your diary, Convert! is a replacement for
the conversion tables usually found at the front.
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

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

Attached is the demo/tutorial for Graffiti, "the fastest, most accurate way

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

< 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.

KwikMenu is an extremely fast dashboard to the Newton PDA that reduces many multi-step operations to just twoÛm taps. 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.

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.

It's a replacement for the Styles app. It gives you more font, sizes,

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

Overriding a built-in app get's kind of tricky.

NewtCase archives Newton packages to reduce heap memory requirements,
alleviate conflicts between applications, and clean up the Extras drawer.
Archived packages do not show up in the Extras drawer, but can be launched
or reinstalled at any time using NewtCase. With NewtCase, you can
temporarily deinstall applications without having to remove them. NewtCase
can launch an archived package and, when you quit that package,
automatically re-archive it.
Additions since version 1.1:
+ Added a "NCK Archive" that is backed up by the Connection Kit.
+ Old style archives are now called "Quick Archives" (they are faster than
NCK Archives).
+ Added a QuickLaunch list that lets you launch any installed or Quick
Archived package without opening NewtCase.
+ Nine user configurable sets.
+ Now supports multiple-package selection for filing and routing
(archive/install/remove/run).

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Rotterdam, The Netherlands, May 5, 1994 - Lunatech Research announced the
immediate release of the "PDA Package Downloader 1.5" for Apple Computer's
family of Newton and Macintosh products. 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.

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 Grip-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...

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. You can still click on the overview button to
get back to the overview. PrefsPatch also places a dual-function button
on the notepad status bar for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs
rolls. Freeware.

This program is $10 shareware.
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.

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.

depending on whether you are "on the road" (on batteries) or "at home" (plugged
into an AC adapter). The package includes a user's guide in Word format.
Version 1.0.1 fixes a bug found in newer Newton models. In version 1.0,
RoadShow would crash when the user attempted to change the default system beep.

Subject: SleepAid 1.3 (update to SleepAid 1.2)
After getting mentioned in a "Top 10 Heap Hungry Apps" discussion on the
USENET newsgroup comp.sys.newton.misc, SleepAid has gone on a diet.
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.

Subject: TimeStamp - Insert time/date anywhere on Newton
Time Stamp allows you to insert the date and or time into any text field in the
Newton. It replaces the standard popup menu of punctuation characters with one
that includes two new new icons, one which inserts the date and one which inserts the time.
There is a Preference panel added to the "Prefs" application (this can be found
in the "Setup" folder in the Extras drawer). This panel will let you choose
which date and time format you prefer.
Time Stamp is free but all rights are reserved by Scott Jenson. It can also be
freely distributed as long as this read me file is included with the
TimeStamp.pkg file.
If you use it, please feed the programmer: send him email at jenson@apple.com
Don't worry, bugs and comments accepted equally.
TimeStamp only works on Newton 2.0 or later.
