Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Einstein Emulator
Developer Release 1.

You can download it from my website:
http://www.kallisys.com/newton/einstein/

Changes:
- New monitor mode (option: --monitor) to directly control the emulator
   and debug programs.
- The interface was reworked to support the new monitor mode.
- Support for arbitrary screen sizes. Please note that: (a) you'd better
   not use a screen smaller than the original (320x480) and (b) the size
   should be provided in portrait mode (i.e. width should be smaller than
   height) and (c) you need to click on the lower-right corner for pen
   alignment (this typically doesn't do anything, maybe I should disable it),
   so you'd better provide a size that is not too big for your screen.
   Size is provided with new --width and --height options.
- Added a command to execute arbitrary NewtonScript command line
   (ns <command>)
- Added a command to install a package (install <path>)
- Flash is now saved when the power goes off.
- Fixed the power switch button (it no longer generates an event when the
   Newton is off).
- Added support for NewtonOS debug undefined instructions.
- Added computation of the ROM checksums. The checksums are written to flash
   on startup so NewtonOS will not erase the flash accross updates of the
   emulator (and specifically of the REX).
- Updated NewtTest to 1.1g.

Regards,

Paul
