AddCity InformationAddCity was originally written to allow me to add Calgary, my old home town, which isn't in the Time Zone app. Now it has appeared in the MessagePad 110 and beyond, and I have a feeling I know who put it in... ;-) (Thanks if it was you, Dr. Newton!!)This latest version, 1.6, adds full support for routing. You are able to fax, print, mail, and beam a city to your friends around the world. Please let me know if this isn't the case!The format of the entry in the soup is exactly the same as documented in the Newton Toolkit documentation, as below:name: a string of the city namelatitude: the encoded city latitudelongitude: the encoded city longitudegmt: the offset of the city, in seconds, from GMTcountry: a symbol that identifies the countryareaCode: the area code, in integer format.When you click on the ÒI am hereÓ button, AddCity will also change the following things: ¥ local area code for dialing ¥ set the current country. ¥ and then it will close AddCity automatically.NOTE: The change in location is reflected in the Time Zones application, but each city you enter is not added to the Time Zones pop up list - not yet anyway.AddCity is freeware, feel free to give it to whoever you want. IÕd love to get a postcard from your city, if you would like! Or email me your city!Install InstructionsNOTE: If you have an old version of AddCity installed, you will need to remove that before installing this version. Install AddCity as you would any other package.When you open AddCity for the first time, it will read your current location, and add that location to it's storage (aka soup).To create a new location, tap the "New" button. This will bring up an entry that has example values in it. You can go ahead and enter in the new values now.Description Of The Values:City: this contains the name of the location you are entering.Latitude: this has two entry areas, for the degrees and minutes of the latitude of the location. The button to the right of these fields sets which half of the Earth this location is in: North = upper from the equator, and South = lower from the equator.Longitude: this also has two entry areas, degrees and minutes of the longitude of the location. The button to the right of these fields sets which hemisphere you are in, West = Western, and East = Eastern hemisphere.Hours From GMT: this is the number of hours away from GMT. An example is my hometown, Calgary, which is -7 hrs away from Greenwich Mean Time.Country: this is the country that this location is in.Area Code: the telephone area code of the location. AddCity will only accept the first number you enter in here, because of Apple's guidelines on the structure of the location entry.Thank You'sThanks to David Dunham and Scott Shwarts for the conversion code from the encoded value to the latitude/longitude value.Thanks to the Newton guys and gals for bringing back the ÒmagicÓ. If you donÕt understand then read Dave JohnsonÕs column in develop #16. "Let's Go Find DIG!!!!!!!!!

I miss you!About Arborlon Technology, Inc.Arborlon Technology, Inc. is a company that was formed for the sole dedication of developing Newton software. We have some commercial stuff planned, as well as doing Newton consulting. I firmly believe in what Newton technology can do, and will do in the future.I can't wait to walk into my local airport, and have my Newton notify me when the plane I am waiting for lands, or if it will be half an hour late. Or using my Newton to check when my flight leaves, rather than trying to find one of those monitors with the arrivals/departures. (Or the "roll" boards).Contact Info (Please note the new address!)Arborlon Technology, Inc.R.R. #2Airdrie, Alberta, Canada,T4B 2A4E-MailAppleLink: ARBORLONCompuserve: 73132,3711eWorld: LDUPONTInternet: LDUPONT@eworld.comFuture Products From Arborlon Technology, Inc.One of these days, honest!
