Sieve 1.00-----------------Ver 0.30 - original Newt 2.5/RunNewt version released as sourceVer 1.00 - standalone Newt 3.0 package.Files:Sieve.pkg - Standalone packageSieve.nwt - Sieve Newt 3.0 source code.Sieve.lib - Sieve source code library (see Newt 3.0 docs on installation and use.)What It Is & What It Does: Sieve is a simple app that lets you run the "standard" sieve benchmark which calculates a fixed number of prime numbers. My original OMP ran the benchmark in about 143 seconds. My MP 100 runs it in about 65 seconds! How It Was Developed: Sieve was developed ON my Newton (not on a Macintosh or Windows pc) using Steve Weyer's amazingly wonderful Newt 3.0 developement platform. Newt 3.0 allows you to develop complete NewtonScript applications that produce true Newton packages on your MessagePad. The actual package was then extracted by synchronizing my Newton using the Apple NCK and then pulling the package from it via the shareware ExtractPackages 1.1. This is a non-NTK produced package. How To Use It: Sieve is very simple to use. Launch the package from the Extras drawer, click the "Go" button. Sieve will start the benchmark and then display the elapsed time. That's all there is to it. How To Register: If you like it drop me a note. Sieve is Freeware.

Mike Alterman for the Trash Folder idea. Info on Newt 3.0: (Extracted from Newt 3.0 documentation) Newt allows you to write your own expressions and methods in NewtonScript for developing applications, and execute them directly on your Newton. NewtonScript (NS), Newton's built-in, object-oriented (o-o) language, shares ancestry with dynamic o-o languages like Smalltalk, Self, Common Lisp, and ObjectLogo. NewtonScript is the same language that is used by Apple's Newton ToolKit (NTK). For more advanced users, familiarity with o-o concepts and constructs would be useful; for others, Newt should serve as a brief introduction to these ideas. Newt 3.0 provides the ability to create real packages directly on the Newton (this requires the NewtPack plug-in -- see packages.txt). Newt 3.0 is available from all major online services and via ftp from ftp.amug.org as well as Steve's home page: http://www.netaxs.com/~weyer/ or contact Steve for more information at: Steve Weyer 17 Timber Knoll Drive Washington Crossing, PA 18977-1052 Internet: weyer@netaxs.com America Online/eWorld/NewtonMail: SteveWeyer Compuserve: 74603,2051More Info: Check out these Newt www pages: http://www.netaxs.com/~weyer - Steve Weyer's home page http://www.netaxs.com/~archimag/newt.html - my Newt info page Also check out my Newton home page with lots of reviews etc.: http://www.netaxs.com/~archimagt/Newton.html --------------------------------
