Newt's Cape

Newt's Cape is an early web browser developed by Steve Weyer for Newton MessagePad mobile devices. It is sometimes also called "Newtscape", in reference to the Netscape browser used on Macintosh computers at the time. It also functions at a Newton book creation tool by building HTML-based documents from other Newton applications, such as Notepad.
==History==
Newt's Cape was first released as a public beta on February 25, 1999. It supported Newton OS 1 to 2.x. Some features were not available on older devices, which could take as much as 5 minutes just to render an HTML page with a few images.Info for Registered Newt's Cape Users by Steve Weyer. 2018-04-24.Browsing with NewtsCape, My Apple Newton. 2006-02-02.
