Sheldon) psheldon@utdallas.edu Subject: Albrecht 101 - Los Alamos book exemplifies newton press outlining Herein find an example of what newton press can do. The book I made from Albrecht's electronic research paper might not be interesting in content, except to an expert in quantum mechanics interpretation, but it best exemplifies what anyone can do with a latex program and newton press, so I thought it might be appropriate here. I might have put my own, much shorter, paper to Los Alamos up instead for less bandwidth, but then you wouldn't see the outlining power of newton press both needed and implemented. For those experts amongst you, "naughtyword 7.1 is gooooooood". So, here again is what I did in order illustrating how easy it is. With textures, a typesetting program, I retypeset in the latex source to produce pages the size of newton screen and then printed these to picture-files with print to pict. Then I dragged ordered page-pictures in folders into the newton press ap to get a book. Very easy. Then, I built an outline to navigate in the book. I can enjoy long dog walks in cool nights (here in hot day Dallas, Texas) while reading science research on the new glowing mp130. #### BINHEX babylon-5-season-1-v1.hqx **** From: Linger@earthlink.net (Ken Linger) Subject: Babylon 5 Newton Book Season 1 This is version 1.0 of the Babylon 5 Season 1 Newton book.

This interactive tutorial will show how you can develop a simple application in NewtonScript and save a package directly on your Newton using Newt. Keywords: tutorial, Newt, object-oriented programming, application development environment, NewtonScript, NTK. Changes in 1.4 (24 Nov 96) - added info button, URL-oriented about box to example - updated to work with Newt 3.3 - book created with Newt's Cape 1.3 from HTML; package compressed NewtATut -- the book -- is freeware. "Newt" -- the native programming environment for developing applications using NewtonScript -- is shareware. Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try NewtATut. If you have Newt installed on your Newton, you can build and test the application incrementally as you read. (You should be able to find Newt on the same server/service where you found this book, under a Newton application or development directory, with a name similar to newt33.sit/.zip or newt-devenv-33.sit.hqx). This version of NewtATut works with Newt version 3.3 (and greater). See also NewtTurT -- interactive turtle tutorial.

Newt 3.2 is now NOS (Newton OS) 2.0 compatible. The FAQ recycles, updates and augments information that is found with the current versions of the Newt package (newt-devenv-32.hqx/.sit; newt-32.zip) (see "Where do I find Newt?") and NewtATut book, an interactive Newt Application Tutorial (see "What other Newt-related packages are available?"). Note: If you have downloaded Newt 3.2, you do not need to download this since you already have this text file (newt-faq.txt).

There is also a related book -- NewtATut (Newt Application Tutorial) -- that shows how you can develop an application with buttons, fields and other interface objects in NewtonScript and save it as a package using Newt. Keywords: tutorial, Newt, object-oriented programming, NewtonScript, learning, graphics, mathematics, Logo Changes in 1.4 (24 Nov 96) - updated to work with Newt 3.3 - book created with Newt's Cape 1.3; package compressed NewtTurT -- the book -- is freeware. "Newt" -- the native programming environment for developing applications and doing graphical programming -- is shareware. Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try NewtTurT. If you have Newt installed on your Newton, you can try the examples as you read. (You should be able to find Newt on the same server/service where you found this book, under a Newton application or development directory, with a name similar to newt-devenv-33.sit.hqx or newt33.sit). This version of NewtTurT works with Newt version 3.3 (and greater). It requires the NewtDraw plug-in to be installed.

The Newton titles are listed alphabetically, and the version number, author, and description are given, as well as it's size when loaded, date of the last revision, type of program (free, commercial, shareware...), fee, and notes. This is a great and very useful list, updated 11/94. You'll be amazed at the number of titles. Maybe you should buy a Newton? This version includes a run time version of FileMaker pro, so you don't even have to own FileMaker to open it!

This book is widely considered to be the worst book ever written -- and a quick look at the first few paragraphs will tell you why. It's a rare reader that can take in a single page without burst out laughing at the sheer awfulness of the purple prose, the tortured spelling, and the agonized adjectives. In short, this is a work of genius, and should not be missed! Enjoy... Technical notes: This book is distributed as a Newton package. The Newton Backup Utility or Connection Kit is required to install it on a PDA.

This Newton package / book is intended to help you troubleshoot your Macintosh computer if it bombs or freezes under System 7.0 through 7.5.3. It won't help you with a "Sad Mac" on startup problem, won't bring back a trashed file, and it won't make your boss give you a raise, but it just might bail you out of a bad situation. This is written with a Macintosh novice in mind but contains useful information for all levels of Macintosh users. This Newton package / book is very closely based on the Troubleshooting 101 DA for the Macintosh by the same author. The Macintosh DA was initially written for MacMagazine at http://oeonline.com:80/~tomk/MacMagazine/ and was later distributed to the DDB Needham agency in Dallas. It is a thorough 10-step procedure and contains numbers for some major support companies. This Newton package / book is provided FREE to anyone who wants it. This Newton package / book may NOT BE SOLD. However, it may be copied and put on any Newton or be included with any package of hardware or software so long as (a) I am notified at the address below (b) the contents of this Newton package / book are not altered in any way. To contact the author of this TroubleShooting Newton package / book, send E-Mail to reddingt@onramp.net #### BINHEX westminster-abbey.hqx **** From: j5rson@prairie.lakes.com (Jeffrey D.
