 Date & Time Editors - These protos are for use with date and time data
entry. There are two floating view protos. One is for date only entry and
the other is for date and time entry. Both of these protos are based on a
third proto which is used to control the calendar. The other protos
included I pulled from on of my programs so that you can see how to
interface with the date/time picker proto. Actually, I changed the date
and time protos to use my protos so that I could have floating date
editors and the buttons are sized correctly.

 Description:
 LISP 0.5 - LISP 0.5 for the Newton is an interpreter for a subset of the
LISP language. LISP is a functional list-processing language that supports
recursion. It is the language of choice for artificial intelligence
applications, and later dialects such as Common LISP and Scheme are
currently in active use. The version of LISP implemented by this package
is approximately a subset of any modern LISP. We assume that the user is
familiar with some dialect of LISP or has found a textbook to explain the
rudiments. Includes 22 built-in functions, including integer arithmetic
and the ability to load definitions from Notes folders. Freeware.

 Size: 26K         Date:10/17/94        
 Description:
 Object Viewer 0.92 - The Object Viewer is a Newton application intended
mainly for programmers. It displays the contents of objects in Newton's
memory, and provides several ways to jump from one object to another. It
is a floating window which is half the height of the screen, and can
therefore be used to examine the activities of other Newton programs while
they are running. Basic instructions are included.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:Ruler 1.35
 Size: 36K         Date: 8/09/94        
 Description:
 Ruler 1.35 - This utility is intended primarily for developers using NTK or
BookMaker. If you're not a developer, you probably won't find it of much
use. If you've used the Newton ToolKit for any amount of time, you'll
quickly find that the layout display in the current version has a number
of bugs. Ruler is a little utility that displays two crosshairs on the
Newton screen. Their position, and the distance between them, is displayed
on a floating palette. You can position the crosshairs by dragging them
with the pen. That's pretty much all it does, but it does it well.

 Name  =  Multipickproto 1.0
 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:Multipickproto 1.0
 Size:  6K         Date: 8/09/94        
 Description:
 Multipickproto 1.0 - This is a proto I put together to deal with the
problem of picklists that are longer than 25 items. (For use with the
Newton Toolkit, a commercial program from Apple). It's all fully
documented within the proto, but in case you're interested, there is also
info in the read me. This proto is freeware for free- and shareware apps,
with one caveat - If you use it in a piece of software, send the author a
copy.

 Size: 12K         Date: 7/20/94        
 Description:
 ScrollBarList 1.0 - Purpose - This is a proto template for a scroll bar
text list with the following features - up/down via single key click,
continuous up/down via key press. Full view height scroll when scroll area
tapped (below or above marker). Propotional sliding marker, with dragable
placement. Scalable width by mouse; height set by viewLines slot.
Automatic fade of scroll bar if length(listItems)(viewLines). This proto
is based on textList and pictButton. Check with Physix Inc for
single/multi user licenses.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:VideOut 1.0
 Size:  7K         Date: 7/20/94        
 Description:
 VideOut 1.0 - Purpose - To feed screen dumps to NTK/MAC for
pseudo-simulated video output. Use - 1) Connect inspector, open and size
clipboard on MAC screen, set timer to appropriate interval on VideOut. 2)
To hide VidOut screen, press hide. To terminate screen dumps, re-select
VideOut from extras drawer. Comment - Using an interval less than 5 sec is
pointless, as the MAC and Newton will not respond to external input. Needs
turbo-charging, contact above for source if interested. Requires use of
Newton ToolKit, a commercial product from Apple.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:DbPanel 0.91
 Size:  9K         Date: 6/27/94        
 Description:
 DbPanel 0.91 - DBPanel allows the user to set the trace, breakOnThrows, and
 printDepth debug globals without having to type into the inspector window.
The simplest thing to do is to run DBPanel and then run the app under test.
As long as that app isn't based on a floating view, the floater should
remain accessible. The floater can be moved by dragging so as to avoid
obscuring the interesting parts of the app underneath. I wrote DBPanel
after seeing a similar app that saved one from having to find a pause in
the inspector output. I took the idea a little farther, adding the
breakOnThrows and printDepth globals and a viewIdleScript that keeps the
checkboxes in sync if you do change the values by typing in the...

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:Icon Editor 1.1
 Size: 11K         Date: 5/23/94        
 Description:
 Icon Editor 1.1 - First off I'd like as many programmers as possible to use
it if they're doing icon editing of any sort, since this will reduce
overhead on a newt if multiple programs want to do this. If your a
developer, you can include this app in package form with your app at no
charge (just send me a copy). Pretty much useless to non-developers at
this point, except to play with. Icon Editor now complies with the
'accepted' methods for routing and such (I cheated with version 1.0.) The
most important change is that icons are now saved as bitmaps (binary
objects, thanks Mike.)

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:Llama Dos 1.12
 Size: 30K         Date: 5/07/94        
 Description:
 Llama Dos 1.12 - While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a
feature found on most computers - a command line interface for system
management. Rather than invent a new interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS
implements the worlds most widely used interface, with well over 40
million users - DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to
make sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface
survived intact on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12. With
LlamaDOS, a user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of
their system using the same commands they have used for years on PCs.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:SeeFrames 1.1 US
 Size: 21K         Date: 3/01/94        
 Description:
 SeeFrames 1.1 - SeeFrames is a utility for Newton developers. It allows you
to watch most of the objects and navigate into the memory of your Newton.
When you start SeeFrames from the extrasDrawer, it closes it and then shows
you the slots list of the 'viewfrontmost frame called Front view in the
top left labelPicker (it may be useful when debugging an application,
especially if you have an ExtraButton of ScrollEx attached to SeeFrames).
To see the content of a frame or an array (ex _proto, CodeBlock or
viewChildren), tap on it and the slots list of it will be shown. You may
repeat this until there no more frame or array on the list. More details
are given in the documentation.

 Path =  PDA11:NOS 1.x:Programming:Internals pkg and source
 Size: 11K         Date:11/15/93        
 Description:
 Internals pkg and source code - When first starting Newton development I
fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists
seemed pretty interesting, but the sample was a little too simple. So I
extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot
during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did
some major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again
yesterday, and cut at least one third of the code and slots! I hereby give
this code away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far
from), but because it might give other novices some help.
