Several application- (and library-) related archives are available:

app_pkg (lib_pkg) [end-users]: ready-to-use Newton .pkg for each application (library) listed below
app_src (lib_src) [WabaVM/tool developers]: 'source' for each application (library) -- generally source can be downloaded from the URLs listed below to obtain the latest version and respect any distribution restrictions; however, we keep a local copy for internal testing. preferably, these are .java and .bmp files; sometimes only .class files are available (often eXtracted from .pdb/.prc or .wrp/.lnk files); note: you can decompile .java files from .class via a tool like jad
app_web [WabaVM/tool developers]: developer may provide a web (.jar) version of the Waba app, i.e., at URLs below; generally, a Newton .pkg file is available for end-users (see app_pkg); so, this folder is more for testing rather than distribution.
app_ntk (lib_ntk) [application developers] (deprecated): Newton ToolKit (NTK) project files for each application (library)

This lists libraries and applications alphabetically, with

URL for original application: description, documentation; some have web, .java source, Palm and/or WinCE versions
current Newton issues (if any)

See also descriptions/links on: http://www.wabasoft.com/fungames.shtml and http://wabaworkbench.com/libraries.shtml.

We would appreciate feedback about:
