The Totally Incomplete PDA CD-ROM for Newton

Available January 1995

First Release!

The Best Collection! There are over 2000 files on this PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant) CD, including over 550 packages for the Newton and
Sharp MessagePad, adding up to 90 megs! This is the only collection of
Newton files available on  an ISO CD-ROM, and contains items added as
late as December, 1994. Packages can be downloaded directly from this
CD-ROM to your MessagePad. Apple's Connectivity Kit for Mac or Windows,
or another way of downloading packages is required. This Read Me is also
available in Newton Book format.

What's on it? The categories on this CD include Applications, Books,
Commercial Demos, Games, Mac Stuff (on the Mac side), News and Press
Releases, Prog, Resources, Newton User Groups, NANUG, and Utilities.

We have tested all of the packages on this CD (yes, Ashley's Newton
MessagePad has had a workout!).

Special thanks! Special thanks and credit to all the authors for making 
RThe Totally Incomplete PDA CD-ROM for NewtonS a success. And for all of
those who answered my late night e-mail questions!Using this CD-ROM for
Newton 
At first sight the amount of Newton files that we have found may
surprise you! So many programs to load, so little time! And where is
that portable CD player for the Newton?

Where is Everything?

The files have been organized into separate folders, and the author's
documentation should give you any help you need. You should definitely
read each documentation before loading any package onto your Newton. You
need to know where you should install it (internal memory or RAM card),
and any warnings. I have included a short description where there were
no docs.

Apps - Contains applications, including all kinds of programs to run on
your Newton, including calculators, billing programs, list makers, and
much more.

Books - Contains fiction, public domain text, and informational books,
plenty of reading! If you want to make your own books, look in the Mac
folder for Paperback! Or on the PC side, look in the BOOK folder for
PAPER100.

Commercial Demos - Contains commercial demos from companies on the
bleeding edge of Newton! Look for StarCore demos too! I hope to see more
of these in the future.

Games - Here you'll find over 50 games to keep you stress free!
Definitely always have a few on hand!

Mac - Files included here require a Mac to run, thus this folder does
not show up on the PC side. You'll find BBEdit, a text reader, PoorMans
Newton, a stand alone HyperCard stack from an AMUG member, and others.
Look around!

News - This folder contains three different areas. NewtNews is an
excellent compilation and summary of all that is said about the Newton,
in text and Newton Book format. Also included is a Press Release folder
which contains PR from different companies. Lastly, included is Adam and
Tonya Engst's TidBITS, in text and Newton Book format. Keep informed!

Prog - Here are a few applications to help program your Newton, or to
make your Newton programs run better.

Resources - This is the place to go to find out information about your
Newton! Be sure to check out JC Bousson's Nwt Facts & FAQS - it's sure
to answer most of your questions. Also check out Ashley Armstrong's Nwt
Software database, The Totally Incomplete Database of Newton Software.
You'll find each Newton package listed with a description, author
contact and more. Another great area here is the Newton User Group
folder. If you're not a member of NANUG (North Atlantic Newton User
Group), you're missing out! All of their newsletters are included, and
I've included info about other user groups too!

Util - This is the place to find packages which will help personalize
your Newton, and make it run better! You'll need ScrollEx to scroll your
Extras Drawer, NewtCase to archive packages (to free up heap space), and
you'll need RemoveIt to get rid of all those soups after loading up your
Newton. There's alot of other must haves in there too!


Support the Authors!

AMUG spends thousands of hours creating the BBS interface on the BBS in
a Box CD-Rom, and on our other CD-Roms. Any charge for this CD-ROM is
solely to support the creation and compilation of the CD-ROM. No fee is
charged to download any of the shareware and public domain files
provided on this CD-ROM.

Only by supporting the shareware authors and sending in the requested
shareware fees, will this type of software distribution continue. If you
decompress a file and find it useful, please pay the shareware fee. When
users are dishonest with the authors, they become soured on the
shareware market and may stop updating their programs, publishing new
programs, or they sell their products commercially.  Thanks again for
supporting Shareware and Public Domain authors!

Loading Newton Packages Before you load anything, you will need Apple's
Connectivity Kit (a commercial program), or  the included shareware
program PDA Package Downloader 1.5 (in the Mac section). To use PDA
Package Downloader, you will need the following in your System folder,
in the Extensions folder - Apple Modem Tool and AppleTalk ADSP. These
extensions have not been included on the CD, but are available from
Apple, or with the purchase of many other programs, and they are on the
internet.

Filemaker The Filemaker database is located in Resources, Nwt Software
2.11 (the two is the second year of the Newton, 11 is for November).
Included, thanks to Don Ross, is a run time version of FileMaker, so you
can access the database without owning FileMaker! Also included is an
Excel and text version.

BBEdit Light BBEdit is our text reader of choice, you'll find it in the
Mac folder. Many of the docs and press releases are in this format. The
nice thing about BBEdit light is that it opens any size text file
without the nasty 32k limitation of many other text readers. If, when
you open a file, text seems to go on forever, in one or a few lines,
simply select Wrap under the Text Menu. Then all the text will be
wrapped for easier reading.

System 7.5 find We have found that System 7.5 find is the fastest way to
find a file on the CD when you know a portion of its name. Simply use
7.5 and push command F to bring up the find box. Then, type a portion of
the name, select contains, and make sure the CD is the drive selected.
The program will then display the selection it has found and you can
easily click on a found item and push command E to go to it, or command
O to open it.

Registration Make sure you open, print, fill out and send in the

Loading Newton Packages PC Users will need to use Apple's commercial
Newton Connectivity Kit to load packages into the Newton.

Filemaker The Filemaker database is located in the RESOURCE folder and
is called NWTSOFT.FM. You'll need the PC version of FileMaker to open
it. If you do not own FileMaker, you can open the plain text version,
called NWTSOFT.TXT, or you can use NWTSOFT.XL (in Microsoft Excel
format).
