NewtDb(tm) - The Relational Database for Newton(tm)(sm)-------------------------------------------------------NewtDb is a relational database for Newton for fast information retrieval. It has separate screens and databases. You can define the layout of screens for displaying information and define different databases to hold the data. NewtDb's relational capabilities allow retrieving data from multiple databases at once and also displaying relational data in a list view. NewtDb has NCK support for data import and export from Mac or PC databases, supports records numbers and record modification flags.This version of NewtDb is DEMO / Shareware. It allows only four Databases and eight Screens to be defined. All other features of NewtDb are enabled. There is a 45 day time limit for demoing this version. After 45 days, if unregistered, it will expire. Please be sure to have your Newton's clock set correctly before installing.What are all those packages and files ?-----------------------------------------Mac / PC:NewtDb.pkg / NewtDb.pkg - The Database program itself.UtilityDb.pkg / Utilit.pkg - For defining Screens and Databases.DemoDb.pkg / Demo.pkg - Makes two sample Screens and Databases.RegisterDb.pkg / Regis.pkg - For registering NewtDb so it doesn't expire after 45 days.BarCodeDb.pkg / BarDb.pkg - Barcode / Serial input to fields.NewtDb Manual / NewtDb.wrd - The users guide for operation of NewtDb (MS Word 5.0 format) .UtilityDb Manual / Utilit.wrd - The users guide for defining Screens and Databases (MS Word 5.0 format).Registration / REGISTER.TXT - This document (plain text format).Release Notes / NOTES.TXT - Release Notes / other information.DbFixer.pkg / DbFixer.pkg - for fixing certain soup errors (see Release Notes).Installing NewtDb-----------------As with any new program, please backup your Newton before installing.

Now run NewtDb to see the sample screens. Use UtilityDb to examine the screens and databases. You must have at least 40k of free heap memory to use all the packages.Please read the documentation for complete details on using NewtDb and UtilityDb.What if I forget to pay the Shareware Fee ?-------------------------------------------NewtDb will only work for 45 days after you install in your Newton if it is not registered.None of your data of screens are deleted, you just can't use NewtDb until you register.If I upgrade to the 16/32 version later, will all my data be transferable ?---------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes. The data format is compatible. You will not have to redefine / reenter anything.How do I Register the Shareware version or pay for an expanded version ?------------------------------------------------------------------------This program is Shareware $29.95. On Compuserve, it's SWREG ID #7012 for the .sit version and SWREG ID #7013 for the .zip version.Other forms of payment are by check, cash, money order. All prices are stated in US dollars. Orders from outside the US may be paid in the local currency.Other versions of NewtDb------------------------The DEMO / Shareware version allows only four Databases and eight Screens to used at any one time. For more Screens and Databases, there is an other version of NewtDb:Sixteen Databases / Thirty two Screens - $59.95The above version will be sent via disk or internet after payment is received.Why the different versions: To lower the cost for the average user. I could have just made one version (16/32), but the price might be too high. Therefore, I'm making a Shareware version available at lower cost.Registering NewtDb------------------Quite simple. After I receive your Compuserve Registration or other form of payment, I will send or email you the unlock code. The unlock code is based on the name that you have entered into Newton (extras->prefs->personal->name). Run the RegisterDb application. Enter the code and then press the Register button. Your code entry will be confirmed. After registering, your name will be shown on the startup screen of NewtDb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NewtDb v1.20 Registration / Order FormName _________________________________________________Address _________________________________________________City _________________________________________________State _________________________________________________Zip _________________________________________________Other _________________________________________________Newton Name______________________________________________(extras->prefs->personal->name for unlock code - all versions)Email Address ____________________________________________Please indicate NewtDb version and quantity:Shareware (4 databases and 8 screens) $29.95 _________Sixteen Database / Thirty two Screen $59.95 _________Disk for above (n/c if delivered via internet) $ 5.00 _________ (Mac / PC)Printed Documentation $ 5.00 _________Postage: N/C in the US and Canada, others add $2.00 _________ Total: ____________Please make checks payable to DMP Systems.Send to:David M.
