[NTLK] The Oasis-NDPS Server July 14, 2015

[Sylvain Pilet]

Hi Greg,


NewtonOS itself manages the memory, should preferably (NDPS on a server) not too active applications. How applications are active on NewtonOS? Simply by being installed! To resolve this issue, use the option to freeze an application. How to do this? Natively this option is not available in NewtonOS (although it is integrated into the system). This option is achieved with some utilities packages Newton.
Such as the SAI's FREEZUtil package of Standalone company. This package adds an option in the System Setup module. Then once installed, you must go to EXTRAS icon (the application that lists all installed packages). In EXTRAS view the packages as a list (and not of icons) because it is easier to select a package in list mode by checking the small box before the name of the package. Then you must click on the icon ENVELOPE EXTRAS (bottom right) and select Freeze which now appears in the menu. This freezes the package in question. The package does not remove the Newton, but the system releases all resources for this package. To thaw, simply click on the application in question (which is represented by a snowflake icon when it is frozen) and thawed it will automatically (depending on the options you select in SETUP).

Below are links to download the Standalone Package FREEZUtil

Mirror on Message-Pad.net <http://www.message-pad.net/Logiciels/Utilitaires/PKG/freeze_utilities.zip>

I had written an article on <http://message-pad.net/files/FreezUtil_Newton.html> explains this in more detail, but this article is in French, but you can look at the screenshots that explain the procedure.

See you soon,
