I accidentally send HeapIt as an attachment with a MIME e-mail package.
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.
