The Revelar Connection Utility (RCU) gives you a live link between your Newton PDA and your Macintosh computer. You can add, delete, modify, import, and export Notes, Names, Dates, Events, and so forth. We even support other developer's programs like More Info and Pocket Money. Download a demo version of RCU below and place an order to unlock it. Notable! now bundled free.

Pen Computing Magazine (Nov/Dec 1996 issue) had this to say about RCU:
"This is a program you are going to absolutely love. I have been using it for about a month now and have found it indispensable... I have tried a number of connectivity options but so far this is by far the best. The people at Revelar have put a lot of thought into this product and it shows."

TUCOWS and Newtonville (1998) gave RCU a 5 out of 5 rating!

Features

  • Add, delete, browse, modify, and print your Notes, Names, Calendar, To Do items (write protected), Calls (write protected). View custom overviews, view by folder, select ranges, and use the Find command to search for any text in the selected application.
  • Download packages by connecting to the Dock/Connection application or to RCU.
  • Get information about your Newton PDA, such as owner info, system info, memory usage, soups.
  • Picture support. You can sketch a picture on your Newton PDA and RCU will bring it up to the desktop. From there you can copy and paste it to the Scrapbook, a paint/DTP program, etc. You can also do just the opposite. Take any graphic from a paint program (including a color PICT or BMP), paste it into the RCU's picture field and RCU will convert it to a Newton graphic. Pictures are supported in any note field, which includes notes in Notes, Names, and Calendar.
  • Synchronize the Date and Time of your Newton with your Macintosh
  • Newton screen shot. Take a snapshot of the current Newton screen and then copy and paste it to any other Macintosh program. If the RCU connect window on the Newton is in the way, just close it. Closing the window does not interrupt connection.
  • Import/Export. Create a format that is used to import or export any data in your Newton PDA.
  • 3rd Party Software Support. RCU will display data from other Newton applications. The developers must write a simple "ADF" file (or you can with the help of the last section of the User's Guide). Then drop this text file into the ADF Folder and you can display, import and export the data to the desktop computer. As of June 1998, we no longer support new ADF development.

    • Picture support. Sketch a picture on your Newton PDA and Notable! will bring it up to the desktop. From there you can copy and paste it to the Scrapbook, a paint or DTP program, etc. You can also do just the opposite: take any graphic from a paint program (even a color PICT or a BMP), paste it into the Notable's picture field and Notable! will convert it to a Newton picture.
    • Import/Export. Single button click for exporting your Notes. With one click of the mouse, Notable! creates a text file on your computer of each note and titles the file with the name of your Note, then puts your export files into a folder with the current date.
