NewtPackageFlags
NewtPackageFlags 1.3 is a utility to manipulate the package options stored within the header of a Newton package file. With NewtPackageFlag you can view and modify the following header information:
- Package Compression (package will be compressed when installed)
- Fast package compression (faster algorithm, less compression)
- Auto remove (package will automatically be removed after it is installed)
- Copy Protection (once installed, package cannot be sent to another Newton via e-mail or beaming)
- Relocation info flag (also used to determine if a package is only for NOS 2.x devices)
- Number of parts contained within package (cannot be modified, only viewed)
- Package name (cannot be modified, only viewed)
- Package copyright string (cannot be modified, only viewed)
- Package version (cannot be modified, only viewed)
- Package build date (cannot be modified, only viewed)
- Package part entries (cannot be modified, only viewed)
I have also created a version of NewtPackageFlags as a Perl script. It won’t let you modify the flags but it will print the information about the package. It also contains code (disabled, but easily implemented) that will extract a PICT image out of a NewtonBook if one exists and write it to a file.
