PART VI: Newton Books

23 | 37 |

38 |

39 |

A) Using and finding books

40 |

1) How can I view books on the Newton?

41 |

The book viewer is already built-in (in Newton ROM). See your Newton User Guide for help to turn pages, view TOC, annotate, set bookmarks, etc.

42 |

2) How can I tell my Newton to read books out loud using Macintalk?

43 |

There is a separate application called Bookreader (Bernie Bernstone's reader) that allows you to do that: 44 | http://members.xoom.com/bbernstone/newton/products/BookReader.sit.hqx 45 |

46 |

You can also read books using the books routing menu (action button) if you have the HTMList extension installed: 47 | http://members.bellatlantic.net/~sweyer/newton/index.htm#HTMList 48 | (this also allows you email a specified range of book pages)

49 |

3) Where can I find books?

50 | 56 |

57 |

58 |

B) Creating NewtonBooks

59 |

1) What Apple software available?

60 |

You can use Apple's software to design books from RTF files or any other XTND format (Newton Press) or from files with a special format (with Newton BookMaker).

61 |

2) Is it possible to create NewtonBooks directly on the Newton?

62 |

Yes, Steve Weyer's Newt's Cape can create books directly on the Newton from HTML pages: 63 | http://members.bellatlantic.net/~sweyer/newton/newtscape.htm 64 |

65 |

3) How can I view PDF files on Newton?

66 |

There is no PDF viewer on Newton yet (and probably there will never be one). However, you can use Adobe PDF- 67 | HTML conversion from 68 | http://access.adobe.com/ 69 | , and then view the result into your favorite browser. Besides Newt's Cape by Steve Weyer allow you to save the result as a Book package (this will compress the data). 70 |

This document used to be a FAQ related to common questions and issues about Newton Message Pad hardware, software and sources. It is now a huge database of knowledge, including questions you would dare to ask and answers you even ignored. It is by no means a simple newbie only tool, but it includes useful links and can also be used as a bookmark directory. 2) Where do I find the latest version? This FAQ is posted as a plain text document monthly on comp.sys.newton.misc, comp.answers and news.answers. The latest text version should be available on MIT FTP and on mirrors.

This document used to be a FAQ related to common questions and issues about Newton Message Pad hardware, software and sources. It is now a huge database of knowledge, including questions you would dare to ask and answers you even ignored. It is by no means a simple newbie only tool, but it includes useful links and can also be used as a bookmark directory. 2) Where do I find the latest version? The plain text version of this FAQ is posted monthly on comp.sys.newton.misc, comp.answers and news.answers. The latest text version should be available on MIT FTP and on mirrors. For example, you can find the latest version a couple of days later on the web at . It's now been quite a long time that the HTML version of the FAQ is sent to popular Newton site webmasters who wanted to mirror the FAQ. But the webmasters have more or less time to upload the latest version to their website. The consequence is that some copies on the web have incorrect or outdated information about several points. * Websites which mirror the latest released version of the FAQ: + Splorp (Grant Hutchinson): + Newton Resources (Victor Rehorst): + ThisOldNewt (Rich Lindsay): + Chris Stephens' site: + Guns-media (Bill Shamam): * Websites which have an old copy of the FAQ: + [October 2000]: Info-Newt (Bill Davis): Mark Rollins compiled the November 2000 release to a Newton Book: Additionally, the old archives are saved on Kallisys FTP: . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B) Sources and special thanks 1) Where can I find other Newton FAQs? a) General FAQs: * Robert Sexton wrote a complete FAQ: * Andree Dettmer MetaFAQ: * Old FAQ (1995) (useful for 1.x models) by Jean-Christophe Bousson b) Specialized FAQs: * Grant Hutchinson's glossary: * Standalone's FAQ (memory, miscellany): * Handwriting recognition tips for the Newton by Hardy Macia at Catamount: * Daniel Domberger's Newton Heap Mini-FAQ: * David Arnold's IR FAQ: * The Newton Underground's IrDA FAQ [dead link]: * The Newton RAM Page [dead link]: * Joseph N.

Kreil: 3) Special thanks to: First, the Newton Community for its spirit. Also, I'd [PG] like to thank Laura, Steve Weyer and Peter Rand for their support. I also want to thank Robert Sexton for his work (allowing me to complete mine), David Arnold for his complete site for developers, and Rich Lindsay (This Old Newt) for his helpful links. Finally, this FAQ wouldn't have reached this achievement without comments, suggestions, additions and corrections from many Newton Users (more than 20!). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /archives/20010701/newton-faq-nos.txt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/splorp/newton-faq/96da15adac6275c7d9f668e3012270ea3d2ca1fa/archives/20010701/newton-faq-nos.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /archives/20010701/newton-faq-software.txt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/splorp/newton-faq/96da15adac6275c7d9f668e3012270ea3d2ca1fa/archives/20010701/newton-faq-software.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /archives/20010901.zip: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/splorp/newton-faq/96da15adac6275c7d9f668e3012270ea3d2ca1fa/archives/20010901.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /archives/20010901/index.txt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | FAQ for the Newton Community 2 | 3 | 4 | This is the September 2001 update.

67 | 68 | 85 | 86 | 87 | 88 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | # About the Newton FAQ 3 | 4 | The Newton FAQ is a community resource of commonly asked questions related to the Apple Newton platform. 5 | 6 | ## Current Version 7 | 8 | [newtonfaq.com](https://newtonfaq.com/) 9 | 10 | ## The Backstory 11 | 12 | First published in August 1999, the Newton FAQ project was led by [Steve Weyer](https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/), Peter Rand, [Sean Luke](https://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/), and [Paul Guyot](https://www.kallisys.com/). It was updated and posted to various websites and newsgroups on a monthly schedule. The last regular edition of the Newton FAQ was published in March 2003, shortly after [Daniel Padilla](http://dev.newtontalk.net/dpadilla/) handed the reins over to [Grant Hutchinson](https://splorp.com/). Grant worked on compiling and editing a significant number of updates, hoping to release a revised FAQ in November 2003. Unfortunately, that never happened. 13 | 14 | As the years passed, updates from the community slowed down, Victor Rehorst’s [WikiWikiNewt](http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/) had become the de facto resource for Newton related answers, and severe linkrot had settled in across the network of Newton sites. 15 | 16 | In late 2009, [Tony Kan](https://myapplenewton.blogspot.com/) began going through the FAQ and submitting updates again. However, without a solid publishing plan in place, those updates never saw the light of day. 17 | 18 | However, in January 2012 a reinvigorated Newton FAQ got a fresh start here on GitHub. Ongoing review and editing over the past several years has improved the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of the existing content. Oh, and a lot of dead links were dispatched through generous application of the [Internet Archive Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/). 19 | 20 | On August 18th, 2024 the Newton FAQ celebrated its 25th anniversary. 21 | 22 | Onward. 23 | 24 | ## Why GitHub? 25 | 26 | GitHub is a simple way to host, share, and apply the “peace of mind” of version control to all sorts of code. Since the Newton FAQ is written in HTML and will undoubtedly go through hundreds of changes, updates, and iterations over time — GitHub seemed like a perfect place to maintain it. 27 | 28 | 29 | Copyright © 1999–2025 The Newton FAQ Group 30 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /resources/codenames/codenames.txt: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Andante 2 | Batman 3 | Bazooka 4 | Bic 5 | Cadillac 6 | Cirrus 7 | Copperfield 8 | Crib 9 | Dante 10 | Denali 11 | Gelato 12 | Gyro 13 | Hobbit 14 | Jellyfish 15 | Junior 16 | Lindy 17 | Mondello 18 | Mont Blanc 19 | N2 20 | Neuropen 21 | Newton Plus 22 | Pocket Newton 23 | Project K 24 | Q 25 | Quark 26 | Rosetta 27 | Runt 28 | Santa Fe 29 | Schoolbook 30 | Senior 31 | Shay 32 | Wedge 33 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /resources/newton-heap-minifaq/garbage.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | Newton Heap MiniFAQ: Garbage Collections 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

17 | 18 | Okay. I warn you now, this is complex! Most of this information was kindly donated by someone else, and I'm not sure that I understand it all. As ever, if you know something here to be incorrect, let me know. 19 |

20 | There is an undocumented "feature" of the Newton Operating System: cursors are non-moveable objects in Heap. By cursors, I don't mean those common to word-processor users; in fact, in this case, 'cursor' means 'an object which is returned by a soup query' - that is, a piece of information taken from a soup. (Soups are explained briefly in the main FAQ). 21 |

22 | Because cursors are non-moveable, they can lead to Heap fragmentation if they are kept around at the wrong critical moment. Heap fragmentation occurs when there is sufficient Heap available to perform the desired action, but this Heap is divided - in this case, by a cursor. This means that there is not enough contiguous Heap, and so an error arises. A fairly good analogy would be a bookshelf: if you have an entire bookshelf, with one little book in the very middle that you cannot move, and you want to put the Encyclopoedia Britannica on the shelf, you can't do it because the other book is in the way - you don't have enough contiguous space.

23 | 24 | With the introduction of the MessagePad130, the Newton reduced the number of garbage collection cycles that it goes through. This increases performance: the MessagePad 120 is slower than the MP130 because it spends more time sorting out it's Heap; the MP130 only does this when it needs to. The MessagePad 2000 collects garbage like the MP130 - when it is necessary. This means that, if a package creates a cursor and leaves it lying around (whether forever, or just during the time of one large call stack) when the Newton needs to do something else, the Newton may need to allocate more Heap than the largest free block. If this arises, the Newton goes into a garbage collection cycle. If the Garbage Collection fails to free up sufficient Heap, you get the 'Out of Memory: Cancel/Restart' message. However, there could be plenty of free memory available on the Newton - just all broken up. 25 |

26 | It should be noted that Heap Fragmentation was not a problem before Newton OS 2.1. 27 | 28 |

29 | Unfortunately, this cursor issue isn't documented. Apple/Newton Inc only revealed it under great pressure. Many developers may not be aware of it and may be unsure as to why exactly their packages run out of memory. In addition to this, many packages generate lists which use memory in proportion to how much data is being displayed. This can lead to problems for the end user that the developer doesn't see until they get feedback from a (usually angry) user. We are seeing this problem much more on the MP2K for two reasons:
30 | - it has less Heap available than the 130
31 | - it uses more Heap more often, causing more activity and more Heap fragmentation

32 | 33 |

What can be done?

34 | Developers need to be made aware that cursors have this property. Newton Inc. has always told developers that they don't need to even think about Heap very much because the NOS will "take care of that automatically". Some programs that are affected by this may have to be rewritten. This is sad, but true. There are a lot of little tricks you can do to keep this problem from happening, but you have to know what the cause of the problem is before you can think of the solution(s).

35 | 36 | - Newton Inc. could come out with an OS patch that makes cursors into moveable objects on the Heap. This is obviously quite difficult to do or they would have done it long ago. It may be impossible. I don't know the issues involved in doing that. I've heard rumors they plan to do this, though, so I wish them much luck with that because it is really needed. 37 |

27 | Of course, the Newton platform is now unsupported by Apple, and so interest has died; I don't even know if anyone still uses their Newtons. There seem to be a lot of them for sale second-hand, at very low prices. I still use my MP2000, as a diary/notepad/addressbook, and sometimes for typing on the go, but the Newton's moment seems to have passed. The rest, I guess, is up to the Psions and PalmPilots, and of course those ever-more-common Windows CE devices.

31 | This FAQ was written by me, Daniel Domberger, and is © Copyright 1997, except those passages quoted, for which due recognition has been given. The information in this miniFAQ was compiled from various sources, and general reading about the Newton since 1993, when the original MessagePad was released. Specifically, though, a lot of the more technical information came from the Apple Technical Information Library (http://til.info.apple.com). A lot of it also came from people's responses to Heap-based questions on the Newton Doctor site - thanks to everybody there! Also note that a portion of this document was posted to the NewtonTalk mailing list, in response to a question there.

32 | 33 | Remember, though, I'm a politics student, not a Newton technician, or a programmer. If anything I've written here is incorrect, let me know & I'll correct it.
