Newt-generated ApplicationsWhat's New:
These are some of the packages for applications built in NewtonScript and saved by Newt; and books created from HTML and saved by Newt's Cape.
If you're an end user, be sure to send your appreciation to the authors (I assume you'll let them know if there are problems).
These are generally .sit.hqx format unless otherwise noted. Some include source.

PowerTrans is perhaps the largest Newt application to date. A recent testimonial from the developer:
PowerTrans started with Newt (a fantastic Newton development tool) and resulted in a commercial product developed over a period of 16 months.
PowerTrans is a good example of how a small application can grow in Newt to become a commercial Newton application, which can easily ported to Apple NTK anytime.
Many thanks
BitSound displays bitmaps/PICTs and plays sounds -- built-in to ROM or in soups (e.g., transferred via Sloup) [note: this is a newer version than "BitSound2" (1.2)].
Note: BitSound 1.4 may break on MessagePad2000 and eMate300 for some selections -- I should update the list of "documented/undocumented" graphics, and check for gray level bitmaps.
Recent changes [BitSound 1.4] (6 May 96):
Turn off those annoying "Do you want to add..." keyboard prompts for 1.x. (This is not needed in NOS 2.x, and won't install; if you installed DontAsk 1.0 on NOS 2.x, remove it manually).
2.x-only; For a selected date (holiday, your birthday, "End of World" or enter one), ECountDn displays the remaining time from now in weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds. description
Geometry Construction Set 1.01.x/2.x; draw lines, circles, triangles; get information about perimeter, area; bisect lines and angles, inscribe/circumscribe circles, etc. description
Life game/simulationThe "game of Life" allows you to experiment with the classic mathematical/biological simulator. Cellular automata. 1.x/2.x compatible. Includes Newt-format source. See life.htm,.txt for further info.

Pico Fermi Bagels gamePico Fermi Bagels (PFB) is number guessing game (similar to MasterMind). 1.x/2.x compatible. Includes Newt-format source. See picoferm.htm,.txt for further info. NewtPFB tutorial available to registered Newt users.
