Archiving a package
Each package you install in your Extras Drawer takes up
some space in the memory that your Newton device uses to
do its work (this memory is called RAM, or random-access
memory). If you have a lot of packages, you may have
difficulty working with large items or your Newton device
may run more slowly.
If you use an application infrequently, you can free some
RAM by using Software Manager to archive it. Archiving does
not remove the application, but you cannot see it in the
Extras Drawer. To use an archived application, you must first
dearchive it.
When an item is archived, the word “Archive” and the
location of the package appear in the Where column of the
package area.
To archive a package, tap its name in the Software Manager,
tap the Action button µ, then tap “Archive package” in the
list that appears.
You follow the same steps to dearchive a package when you
want to use it again. After the package is dearchived, it once
again appears in the Extras Drawer.
