From: psheldon@utdallas.edu
Subject: BanzaiReader - for newton message pads
This, my newton freeware package, demonstrating continuous sliding or
slider zooming of images from newton press. Install the two enclosed
packages. You simply select DemoNp from left diamond (BookPicker) popup
menu and 0 or 1 from right diamond (PicturePicker) popup, then drag the
image around or use slider in lower-right-hand corner to zoom about last
penned point. I've included crosshairs to show you the last pen position
where the zoom is about. This helps the eye keep track of where you are
in the image of a map or a book page. I recalled once, Next machines had
advertised such a finder feature based on its powerful processor. When
you dragged your window objects, you didn't merely see an outline but
the whole object moving. With pages of a special sort of newton press
book comprised only of pictures and the help of Steve Weyer's newt
compiler and newton's NTK, I've figured out how to continuously slide
and zoom, on the newton (so far tested on mp2000 and mp130 and very fast
on both). In particular, I have enclosed a sample file (DemoNP) with a
picture of a map page from http://superpages.gte.net on the internet and
a typeset page from Los Alamos scientific bulletin board also on the
internet. This allows one to feel like the huge page is just under the
screen to slide about. Cross hairs at the pen let you see your place
marked as you slide it, so you effectively have a huge virtual screen to
read from on a pocket computer. The newton can simulate such large
virtual screens fast! A whole lot can fit in your pocket! Soon, my
newton gps talking-map program will soon will be able to do this. May
you live ten thousand years, Newton, and of course Apple!
Download banzai-slider.hqx (69,042 KB)
From: psheldon@utdallas.edu
Subject: BanzaiSlider
This version has more of the feel of sliding the maps as if they
were huge virtual screens that you could zoom in and out of under the
newton window (see BanzaiReader). Another new feature, unlimited zoomout
with newton press pict books.
Compatible with Garmin II and III (set at 4800 baud and with NMEA
sentence filter) as well as Scoutmaster GPS (just set Scoutmaster's
baudrate at 4800).
Rich Drinkard, a beta tester, made some suggestions on activity
sounds and map display and so that is improved. He also requested the
unlimited zoomout. Evidentally his 28meg flashcard on a mp2100 could hold a
very large map to find his way around. I believe we are going to see bigger
than 4 meg flashcards officially supported by apple on the mp2100.
Rich Drinkard reported me experiments that tripmate does speak NMEA
sentences! So, I shall be working on a version for it!
I am working on a mp100 Garmin II III and Scoutmaster version with
limited features.
Notice also the correction in spelling.
This is embarrassing and in no way was intended as insulting. But,
anyone with Japanese bilingual experience would pronounce Bonzai as "bone
sigh" which would hardly get across the feeling of "Live 10,000 years"
battle cry or "hip hip hooray".
Thanks for avoiding this embarrassment are due Jimmie Jenkins with
20 years experience learning the Japanese language. Also, thanks are due to
David Fiedler and Paul S. Hetrick who wished me luck dispite correcting my
bad spelling first.
I stand a Bonzai, duly pruned and thank my senseis.
With Steve Weyer's newt and some helpful correspondence, I have
been developing a newton gps navigator program for some years while doing a
Ph.D. in theoretical physics with intensive background in differential
geometry and carrying on international correspondence. Thanks are due this
sensei, too.
"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension" movie
inspired the name for my newton gps navigator program. I wanted a
distinctive name that people would remember and I really loved and
recommend that wonderful crazy video.
Who can forget his gallant and wonderful remark when the crowd
insulted his to be genius girlfriend :
"Hey, don't be mean. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!"
I'd like people to think of that uplifting phrase when they use my
gps program to go somewhere!
The introduction to the movie spoke of his oriental background and
capacity to go in many directions at the same time (he was a neural
surgeon, rock star and race car driver and perhaps more that I can't
remember).
Well, if you pay the $15 dollar share ware fee, you will find out
how you too can do "like Buckaroo Banzai" did, go in many directions or
routes to be found on menus with my menu search engines.
You will, with these routes, be able to adjust your speed to get an
estimated time of arrival, "to aim your car in time as well". This is
useful for actual racers and also for those of us who need to know how few
minutes we actually save by driving recklessly!
But, hey, something other than my program has to make "contact" and
receive "those signals from outer space", the locator signals from our gps
satellites. All gps programs need to be connected to such receivers.
Garmin has cheap $130 gps receiver with serial and NMEA sentence
output for the newton. I use a trimble scoutmaster gps, not so cheap but
"way cool". They got me to understanding this stuff years ago, before other
people had serial cables.
I've got some urls from tidbits and perhaps some of you know of
even cheaper gps receivers that will communicate with a newton. If you are
thinking of buying tripmate for $125 upgrade price, think again, you might
be tempted, in addition, to buy a Hooper for its internal cd. You can't fit
a Hooper in your pocket when you leave your car and don't want your car
broken into.
GPSy (http://www.gpsy.com/) makes cables (I've made my own, but its
a bear for me to figure).
You will need instructions from me to use my program and
instructions are an ongoing pruning process like people do with those
Bonzai trees. The more people I help the better I get at instructing.
For example, you will be able to use maps put in newton press
books. You will learn how to make coordinate systems from Street Atlas USA
3.0 and 4.0 and set them in most recent street map versions from lycos or
mapquest.
Coordinate systems? Aren't they for people who do general
relativity and aspire to go about in the 8th dimension? Hey, your
imagination alone limits your usefulness and "Don't be mean...".
Coordinate systems here associate latlons with points on the map
pictures, it doesn't take a differential geometer or a Ph.D. in theoretical
physics to use these things (only my instructions). In the words of Mr.
John Bignewteye (thanks to Steve Deyo's wit), "Laugha while you can monkey
boy!"
And for only $5 more, you will also get automated route parsers
that will tell your newton not only in what directions you will get where
Buckaroo might have wanted to go, but also predict when you will achieve
the milestone of getting there. My parsing experience started with mac
programs dealing with pictures and sound going to the newton (free ware I
submitted to the infomac archives). Now, with NTK (Newton Inc.'s Newton
Tool Kit), I have continued making parsers on the newton.
And Banzai will get you there by
------------talking-------------
to you.
I will put in some, as yet primitive, speech files, so you won't
have to stare at the map while you drive.
If you don't want to go with the parsers yet, I will merely send
instructions on how to build files for Banzai and how to get the newton
program slurpee. With slurpee, my free ware mac parsers alone (search my
name at our web site for precise and easy spelling of the download links),
you will be able to fill those empty menus you see on the current download.
These menus that you put in are the places you want to go, the maps you put
in, and the routes you have entered for yourself.
Newton press is dynamite, don't miss it! mp2100 will have included
a greyscale version.
Banzai is going to have more advanced versions. For example, my
menus of routes, maps, and places to go are getting so long that I have
started to put in search engines to find things on the menus.
When you get on Buckaroo's winning team, you too will be able to
aim your car in time. You will be able to adjust your speed to get an
estimated time of arrival.
If you don't want to do this, at least rent the video, "The
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 8th Dimension" and start to get the
spirit.

Subject: LeftHeart (newton ap sings newton message pad's lament)
For those of you with macintalk on newton who really like to think
different :
Now your newton sing you its lament.
I changed the words of "I left my heart in San Francisco" to a
slightly different set of thoughts :
"I left my heart in Cupertino,
at three meters it beams to me.
To be where little message pads,
get more think different ads
The stock market may well beware
I don't care.
My love's on hold in Cupertino,
above big blue, it aims to be.
When engineers come home to Cupertino,
new Sun-Java workstations will shine for me."
Remember a sense of humor can get you a perspective on what seems
the darkest of times.
As developers the world wide learn to adapt to new operating
systems and languages and learn to think even more differently, sometimes
it is nice to hear their computers singing anyway. Maybe I'll even figure
out how to make singing asynchronous so you can get your newton to do stuff
while it sings.

NewtJared
NOS: 2.0 or higher
Description
NewtJared is a newton version of a macintosh program called Jared
from FreeVerse Software. The macintosh version has been on the
top of many shareware lists.. If you like Jared for the macintosh
you can now carry him with you on the Newton.
The Newton Port is by:
Elwin Loomis
elwin@dhc.com
please email me any comments..
You should note that this package is over 300k and has been tested
on a Message Pad 120, and a MessagePad 2000 running NOS 2.0
This is a description of Jared for the Macintosh by FreeVerse.
(and applies to the Newton port as well)
I should also say that Freeverse is in no way responsible (or
liable) for the Newton Version. I have mearly ported Jared to
the Newton, and I am in no way affiliated with Freeverse.
Newton Jared is Freeware.. and if distributed must contain this
readme file.

Download newton-speech-dance-drill.hqx (25,806 KB)
From: "Paul M. Sheldon"
Subject: Newton Dances with SONY?
I believe that SONY at one time was worried about Apple computers
playing their games. Here is a new speech synthesis instructive dance game
that SONY (at least a new sort of "hearing aid") can play with Newton.
If you are interested and already have Newton speech synthesis,
check out my freeware and its idea.
My "Dance" is a newton program that tells dance moves with or
without coaching on how to do them. It plays the step list in random
sequences so that you can learn to firm up your lead. The strongest most
painful way to learn lead is to not have the woman hear what the move is
your Newton says to you. She has no way of knowing except through your lead
(unless you cheat and tell her what Newton said) what move is coming next.
You will make mistakes, it will be embarrassing, with a kind
partner you will learn. You may practice a subset of the full steplist and
work up to the full steplist challenge.
A dance partner might prefer to practice this "silent treatment" in
private lest they associate the Newton program with public embarrassment.
It can be learned! My partner and I have and we aren't afraid to use the
Newton in public together.
In the private partnering environment, the woman can more
graciously suggest how the man's lead could be made less confusing, so that
the man can learn the lead without an impartial arbiter. This is
frightening at first outside the normal dance instruction context with the
teacher superior and no such discussion allowed as disruptive to the rest
of the class.
This new context of discussion of dance with a partner is very very
interesting to me.
So, for best results, practice privately and make a hearing aide
arrangement I have made. It is cumbersome and I wish SONY would make a
spread spectrum connection to a wireless ear "dancing hearing aide".
For my "el cheapo version", you can use a radio shack phone pickup
and (use a candle, two mending braces, c clamps) bent piece of lexan to
suction pickup onto near Newton speaker and run a earphone wire inside your
shirt to your ear.
The dance notes might be exceptionally meaningful only to me as I
own the project and can constantly revise them.
I am not out to teach you dancing, but rather the idea of my Dance
package. When you get the idea, you might make it come alive with
improvements.
Maybe one of you will make a more fascile interface. Maybe someone
will invent a forarm Newton holster so all screen buttons are readily
accessible and it will be more "quick on the draw". Right now I have a side
holster and ready access only to the on/off button. When a dance begins, I
must take the newton out and choose the dance type while the nervous dance
instructor complains I should get on with dancing.

Subject: PictDoubler (pdf files to save the newton)
More freeware to "save the newton".
This can prepare high res typeset pict files for my BanzaiReader on
newton, in particular pdf files.
Select Print2Pict in chooser and printout your typeset document.
Click on this application and the pictframes of print2pict output
pict files will double in size in new files with oldfilename plus ".picdbl"
suffix. Then you can drag these new pict files into newton press to
rasterize at double resolution. This doubling is a good rule to observe
without the jaggies on the newton. I had to do some elaborate stuff with
clarisdraw to prepare picts before.
Jennifer Deason had inspired this :
the main thing I was wondering is if you have given any thought to
developing a .PDF viewer? I have contacted adobe about possible Newton
projects, and they said they have no current plans to support the Newton. I
recieve a lot of .PDF files and skip/browse then because they are
troublesome to read on my Mac. But if I could read .PDFs on my Newton I
have plenty of time during my morning commute to thoughly read them. Have
you contacted Adobe or considered this anvenue of development?

the passcode can be any of over 10 million different numbers.
Private Access works in either portrait or landscape mode on the MP 2000
and uses a simple interface. Data encryption is automatic and transparent
to the user, and prevents unauthorized persons from viewing data using a
soup viewer.

cft1@pop.pitt.edu
http://www.pitt.edu/~cft1/Jeremy/Jeremy.html
This is a NewtonScript proto that allows programmers an easy way to create
views that can be intuitively resized by the user. I have included a
sample package which uses several resize boxes in different ways. In this
way, you can easily see how the protoResizeBox feels & reacts with
different settings, and the different design issues to be considered.
(clipping problems in particular - a good scrolling setup would usually be
an ideal solution)
The demo program is a simple little thing that allows you to add polygons
to a main view & then move them around. The views include a
protoResizeBox, and some have multiple protoResizeBoxes. This shows how
the different justifications of the protoResizeBox change its behavior.
[... clip ...]
Requirements:
Any 2.0 Newton system should be capable of running the demo package, and
protoResizeBox may be capable of running on older systems with some
modification. I want to move on to other projects.
Disclaimer:
It's not my fault if anything goes wrong! Tell me about it though, I will
try to keep it from happening again.
I hereby release this proto as freeware. As long as I get due credit for
the proto, I will be happy. Please inform me of inclusion on any CDs or
other mass distribution.

Subject: Newton's inappropriate relationship
"NewtMacarenatalk"
Can a Newton say "One True Thing"?
Yes, for those of you who have Apple's unreleased macintalk on it
(I am not authorized to release it here).
------------
Inform yourselves by hearing your Newton recite a balancing White
House statement claiming the ic's abuse of power.
------------
I have downloaded the White House rebuttal of the Kennith Star IC
report. Using macintalk on my macintosh, I was able to get through all the
legalese while doing morning ablutions, to try to get a fair idea of what
is going on rather than just run frightened and hiding with the herd.
Using Jon Wind's add/strip, I've taken the White House rebuttal and
removed linefeeds within paragraphs to make the soft word wrapped
specification of a macintosh paragraph. I indented each paragraph, as well.
As far as I know, elsewise it is verbatim. I've translated it to a newton
paperback book, an idea invented by David Fedor.
My application requires an ad for crypto which I chose to have the
paperback run code on it. This is in memory of the director of Hudson
(think tank) Institute who wrote in some singles magazine in the 60's that
a crucial bullwark of American individuality was ------- privacy. I do this
because I would hope that our future leaders would dare to be individuals
with not merely a public facade.
I've enclosed a newton freeware application I made which will read
paperback books.
My application will backtrack paragraphs, read paragraphs at a
time, and read the whole thing. It also has a button to save your place
where last you had it read to you. The button to read a paragraph is very
big, so you can listen to it in the dark, perhaps under the stars to put
all rants in the cosmic perspective of "One True Thing" ... .
