Expansion 1.0


About

The builtin word expansion is a cool idea which is built into the Newton OS, but the process of adding new word expansions is long. Expansion speeds this process up. 

Expansion also allows you to bypass the built-in 30 character limit and create expansion phrases of unlimited length.


How To

Install Expansion
In Notes write the short form then "ex" or "expands" then the expanded form and tap Assist.

Some example:
   cs ex Catamount Software
   pock expands PocketMoney
   

Current Problems in Newton OS 2.0

1. You can have more than 15 words in a string passed to ParseUtter or you get
"The Assistant cannot interpret this."

2. 10 word expressions take an unbearably long time when you have 1000+ names due 
to how IA tries to be intelligent.


TO FIX the Current Problems in Newton OS 2.0

Install IGOR.pkg. IGOR is freeware developed by Catamount Software to fix the above problems.
