- Version 1.1
-
- NewtATut (Newt Application Tutorial) is a Newton book version based on an
- article "Building Native Newton Applications with Newt" that appeared in PIE
- Developers, Vol. 2.4, July 1994; pp.14-18. This interactive tutorial will show
- how you can develop a simple application in NewtonScript directly on your
- Newton using Newt. (see Change History for content differences).

- Keywords: tutorial, Newt, object-oriented programming, application development
- environment, NewtonScript, NTK.
-
- NewtATut -- the book -- is freeware. "Newt" -- the native programming
- environment for developing applications using NewtonScript -- is shareware.
- Newt is not required to use this book, nor must it be registered to try
- NewtATut. If you have Newt installed on your Newton, you can build and test
- the application incrementally as you read. (You should be able to find Newt on
- the same server/service where you found this book, under a Newton application
- or development directory, with a name similar to newt-devenv-23.hqx or
- newt23.sit). This version of NewtATut works with Newt version 2.3 (and greater).
- See also NewtTurT -- interactive turtle tutorial.
-
- If you register Newt, you will receive
- - a manual that introduces NewtonScript and describes Newt commands and methods
- - a set of prototype and application examples
- - notification and discussion of future releases of Newt and related online books
- - relief from shareware procrastination and guilt.

- NewtATut may be freely distributed via online services and bulletin boards if
- it is unmodified and includes the file NewtATut.1st. It may not be
- commercially bundled or redistributed on CD-ROM, floppy disk, PCMCIA, networks
