[NTLK] Software of interest to writers (re: Newly Joined)

 February 28, 2008

[I'm re-potig this, since yesterday's posting did not seem to show up on the bulletin board]

Hello to Vivian, Marcus, and the many other writers in Newtondom! I am
a writer too, although I'm in the field of technical communications.

I don't use my Newton for day-to-day activities at work and/or play. My
primary interest in the Newton is with regard to "zeta testing" and
documenting of unusual hardware and software features, securing
freeware release of long-lost software titles, and converting
copyright-free source material to the proprietary Newton eBook format
(It's all about content baby).

My software choices for helping the writing process are:

? *? Dashboard and GestureLaunch scripts - to quickly launch various apps and files, and to quickly paste in blocks of text. A license is $15-20 bucks and well worth the price.

? *? Scrappy - I just recently "discovered" this one (Thanks, Ed!). Very cool for copying and placing multiple items on a clipboard.

? *? LetterExpress - Nice software; comes pre-loaded with many text
snippets that can be pasted into a doc on the fly; sadly, it does not
work with the MP 2X00 series.

? *? Writer's ToolKit - This is an interesting piece of software that guides the student though the writing process. It's now freeware, thanks to our friends at SCET in Scotland.

Best regards,

Matt K.
