March 23, 2001 1:33 AM EST Newtourage 0.3b3 is now available for download at http://zbzoom.net/~jdpizzo. Newtourage allows users of Apple's Newton MessagePads to synchronize their Names, To-Do's, Calendar and Notes applications with Microsoft Entourage (part of Microsoft Office:mac 2001). This version introduces a number of bug fixes, adds connection options and makes importing large numbers of contacts to Entourage much easier. If you use this beta, please send me an email to let me know. Important Information About This Beta: � Only Names Synchronization has been implemented. Additional functionality is under development � This beta is time limited and will expire. Please see the beta¹s About Box for the actual date. � To download the latest Newtourage Beta¹s please visit DelCann Software at http://www.zbzoom.net/~jdpizzo. Send all comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- Changes since 03.b2 � Added a �Default Address² Option. Let¹s users import Names (with addresses) from the Newton without having to manually specify if the first address on card is supposed to be the home or work address. � Added support for connecting via the printer port (in addition to the modem port and AppleTalk) � Set main application windows to open in upper left hand corner of the main screen. For some reason, on some systems, the application windows would open half off screen. � Removed leftover phone number processing to enhance compatibility with non-US numbers. � Added error handling to prevent Newtourage from crashing anything other than itself. � Error messages now indicate the error type and subroutine in which they occurred. � Fixed a bug that closed the main application window when a user cancelled a connection attempt. With the main window closed, there was no way to reattempt a connection without restarting the application. � Eliminated a bug that crashed Newtourage when there wasn¹t a Names Soup on external stores. � Corrected problems when syncing records with email addresses � Corrected problems when syncing records with birthdays & anniversaries � Eliminated a bug that caused Entourage to overwrite Newton entries when their modification dates were the same. � Added a semi-complete text based ³Sync Log² � A host of other minor tweaks & fixes. ---------------------------------- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Newtourage uses embedded AppleScripts to communicate with Entourage. Therefore you must have enough free memory to run both Newtourage and Entourage simultaneously. Microsoft Entourage (according to Microsoft) � Mac OS 8.1 (8.5 recommended) � Any PowerPC Processor (120 Mhz or higher recommended) � 32 MB Ram for systems prior to 9.0 � 48 MB Ram for systems 9.0 and later Newtourage � Minimum 5MB Ram � 3 MB Hard Drive Space � AppleScript (Any version included with Mac OS 8.1 and beyond should do.) � PowerPC Processor You also need one of these (in case you hadn¹t figured that out already): � Newton MessagePad or Compatible Device � NOS 2.0 or higher. � An AppleTalk or Serial Connection to your Macintosh ---------------------------------- John Del Pizzo DelCann Software _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
