Newton Toolkit for Windows 1.6.1 Including User's Guide

Windows NTK 1.6.1   5.5M

The Newton Toolkit is a development to help users create their own Newton software. It features graphical tools for interface design and rapid prototyping, an interactive development model, and a large number of built-in components for creating custom software. NTK 1.6 for Windows requires a 486DX (or better) processor, CD-ROM, Windows 3.1 (w/ Win32s 1.30 or better), Windows 95 or Windows NT. Memory requirements are 8MB RAM for Windows 3.1 users and 16 MB RAM for Windows 95 and Windows NT users.  This updated version of NTK provides support for grayscale pictures and the new screen sizes found on the MessagePad 2000 and eMate 300 devices. This archive contains the full 1.6.1 application, its users guide and a documentation addendum.

The Newton Toolkit is a development to help users create their own Newton software. It features graphical tools for interface design and rapid prototyping, an interactive development model, and a large number of built-in components for creating custom software.  NTK 1.6 for MacOS requires a 68030 or better processor, MacOS 7.1 or better, and 8MB RAM.

Newton Toolkit 1.6.3 fixes several related view justification bugs that were present in both NTK 1.6 and NTK 1.6.2, and other versions of NTK. Layout windows now accurately represent views as they will appear on a Newton device. Details appear in the included release notes.

This beta version of NTK 1.6.4 provides support for grayscale pictures and the new screen sizes found on the MessagePad 2000 and eMate 300 devices. Also included in this archive are a new Toolkit Application (v 1.3) and documentation (NTK_1.pdf) describing the use of the new features and APIs that this beta NTK provides. This is a complete installation of NTK, including the "Platforms" folder and other supporting files from an earlier installation. The application can be downloaded by itself if you have an earlier installation of NTK 1.6.4 and the supporting files.

This version of the NTK for MAC is appropriate for users who have earlier versions of 1.6.4 and would simply like to update the 1.6.4 application without the supporting files and documentation.

The GM version of NTK 1.6.4 fixes a few bugs in 1.6.4b3. Update your 1.6.4b3 folder by placing this version in a 1.6.4b3 folder. For more information on the functionality of 1.6.4 please read the accompanying release notes.

Platform Files contain data tailored to different Newton products. They also contain a collection of Newton System definitions, a number of utility functions, and definitions for constants that reference the functions. The platform files are used by NTK; when a new platform file is released you put it in the "Platforms" subdirectory of NTK and restart NTK to start using it. If you don't see the new features that are covered in its release notes, make sure you have selected that platform inside NTK's project settings dialog.  It's almost always the case that you can use the newest platform file to create packages for older devices, so long as you don't take advantage of newer features.  The Windows and Macintosh documentation files below are in PDF and Apple Doc Viewer format and may be viewed using Adobe Acrobat and Apple Doc Viewer respectively.

These packages help you debug your NewtonScript packages by allowing you to set breakpoints, disassemble compiled functions, and provide many other shortcuts. Version 2.2 (required for Newton 2.1 use)

ROM Maps are only used by the profiling functions in Newton Toolkit; they are not needed at any other time. To profile your code, you must make sure you have the correct ROM Map for the machine you are targeting; the six digit system versions must match exactly. Place these files in the "ROM Maps" (or ROMMAPS) folder of NTK.

Lets you create complex electronic Newton Books (and help books) with a markup language and NTK. (for the Mac OS)

Converts MacOS NTK projects into Windows NTK format. This tool runs only on MacOS, since it needs to parse MacOS resource forks. There is not currently a converter to convert from Windows NTK format to MacOS NTK format.
