What Error? v1.1 ____________________________________________________ copyright 1994 Ben Gottlieb and Stand Alone Software Thanks for trying What Error? A while back I put out a newton book that listed all the errors in the newton, as documented by the beta version of the Newton Toolkit. Since the new version has come out (with a whole bunch of new errors,) I haven't had a chance to update the book. I decided rather than updating it, I would redo it's interface. Now, whenever an error occurs, the notification box that comes up will tell you the type of error at the top of the box, and a somewhat more in depth description below. These descriptions are straight out of the Newton Programmer's Guide (with some typos by me...) so don't blame me for some what un-descriptive phrases (hey, it's better than "Sorry, a problem has occurred.") ___________ Legal Stuff: I am in no way responsible for any loss of data that may occur as a direct or indirect result of using this software package, so you can't sue me! _______________________________________________________________ If you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, or requests, I can be reached at the following addresses: Internet: gottlb@rpi.edu eWorld: gottlb AOL: gottlb CompuServe: 76342,3057 Snail Mail: Stand Alone Software 708 Forest Ave. Evanston, IL 60202 _______________________________________________________________________________ This application is shareware.

Ben Gottlieb Stand Alone Software ______________ One last thing: Some of you may have noticed that several of my applications have gone up in price. There are many reasons for this, but one of the major ones is that some people feel that it isn't worth it to send in a $5 registration fee. In the interests of fairness, all current users will still receive free upgrades. In addition, if you register $50 worth of software, the registration fee will be only $40. (This does not include the special offer of half off Scroll Menus with any other registration.) _________________ Other Stuff by me: Drop To Do: An enhancement to the standard To Do list on the Newton, Drop To Do allows you to jot down To Do items in the note pad and drag and drop them onto a small button, adding them to the To Do list. It also lets you set priorities on various To Do items (from 1 to 100) and can alert you when you have an upcoming To Do. (shareware) User Picker: Allows you to store multiple configurations (handwriting recognition, name, address, etc.,) in the same newton, and switch between them. (shareware) Clipper: Clipper places a button in the status bar of the notepad, or a floating, draggable button anywhere on the newton screen. You can select text and drag it onto the button to 'clip' it. Tapping on the button will bring up a list of all such clippings. Selecting one will paste it after the current insertion point. (shareware) Mail Edit: Offers a new way to read and reply to email on the Newton. It allows you to read messages in a variety of fonts and sizes, and allows easy access to the keyboard and, if it's installed, GraffitiȘ It also makes use of more of the screen, allowing you to edit more of a message at once. (shareware) Note Man: Places a small button in the upper left of your screen that will close the note pad, or, if another app is in front of it, will bring the note pad to the front. (shareware) Constants: Places a new entry in your formulas app that allows access to a variety of physical constants. (freeware, for now) Periodic Table: Adds a new entry to the formulas app with a periodic table. Clicking on an element brings up the data (such as atomic weight and volume) of it. Also, molecular weights of compounds can be found. (shareware) NotePopper: places a button in your statusBar that will pop up a list of notes to which selected text can be appended. (shareware) Score Pad: lets you keep score in two player games. (freeware) Icon Editor: A (very) simple icon editor for the Newton (look for an improved version, coming soon to an archive near you! currently freeware) What Error: Gives more information when an error message pops up. (shareware) Names To All Overview: Sets the name file to open to all names in the overview mode at startup, so that names app opens faster. (freeware) In Box Expander: Allows mail and beamed items to be received on the card or internal store. Also makes in and out boxes, connection, and card slips draggable. (freeware) Librarian: Saves your place in books and bookmarks you make through hard restarts. Also allows you to use the power switch as a 'next page' button (on the MP100 only :-( (shareware) NameSelector: Pops up a window in which a single character can be entered. After writing that letter, it opens the name file and moves to the name which starts with the letter written. (shareware) Wake Up Week: Puts a window up at wakeup time and shows you your coming week of the calendar (shareware) Store Keeper: Changes the default store whenever you're in Names or Dates so that information entered there always ends up on the internal store. (shareware) Capitalizor: Allows you to change the case of an entire note to all upper or lower case, or capitalize all words in a note. (freeware) Graph Paper: Places a button in the notepad that will make the notepad look like a sheet of graphpaper (note: does *not* show up on printing or faxing.) (freeware) Hourly Chime: Allows you to make the newton chime periodically, on the hour or at some other interval. (freeware) Scroll Menus: Makes all pop-up menus on the newton scroll if there are more items than will fit on screen. (shareware)
