It happens occasionally that a Macintosh does not recognize a downloaded Newton package as a Newton package. Fortunately, there is PackType by Steve Weyer (10 kB Mac version or 6 kB PC version), a small Macintosh drag-and-drop application that gets rid of this problem. Packtype does not work under Mac OS X. Users of this operating system might want to download Package Converter (6 kB Mac version) by James Elliott. It does exactly the same thing, only it is compatible with Mac OS X.

You still use a Newton with an operating system older than version 2.0? You are fed up with the way the Newton operating system makes you set the time? That stupid little analog clock with the dials that are nearly impossible to handle? Have a look at BetterSetter...

You are always unsure if your rechargeables are still as good as they used to be? You are looking for a reproducible way to test your batteries´ performance? BattLog might be what you are looking for... (coming soon)

You have an old MessagePad lying around and no idea what to use it for? Now that you have got used to the speed and the performance of your messagepad 2000 or 2100? Maybe DotClock will give your reliable little friend a new job...

 

Here’s an application that helps you test your Newton and eMate hardware. The application symbol isn’t final yet. Maybe you can submit one? There’s an icon contest on the same page...

NewtLight is a little utility that I wrote specifically for Adriano Angelillis’ NewtLight and NewtEye hardware. It provides an easy way to switch the power at the Newton’s serial or interconnect port on and off.

Bug Report

No software will ever be bug-free. Not even mine. Never believe anybody telling you his software is the exception to the rule. There is no exception.
But you and I can remove at least those bugs that you notice - provided you take the time to
report them.
