I am going to try and upload some coding for a few miscellaneous
Newton apps. The apps were developed by former Newton developer Paul
Jones of Australia. Don't bother the guy; he's no longer involved in
any way with Newton stuff. However, he did give permission to use
his programs and code.
Mr. Jones made pretty good progress on a few different apps:
* "Newt MousePad", which allows the Newton screen to take the place
of a keyboard mouse. I believe tis requires an older Mac or PC to
function. It needs a bit more refinement before it will be decent to
use with more modern Windows-based computers.
* "DosTerm" allows one to control a PC via serial connection with a
Newton, using DOS line commands. I can see this as a possible way to
expand upon existing Newton-to-PC data exchanges.
* "Newt CRO" was intended to collect and display information from a
cathode ray oscilloscope. There might be something good within the
code that would lend itself to other interesting projects (using a
Newton to monitor car engine functions, perhaps).
I have some others stored on the desktop, and I'll gradually go
through each one and upload the code. All of these programs and
their code is intended as freeware. So long as nobody tries to
profit from them, we're fine. I hope that this will prove useful.
Warmest regards,
