Changes in the MessagePad System Update 1.3 (465333)

* The system is more reliable; -10606 errors no longer occur when you delete some types of information.

* In certain rare cases is was possible for the system to lock up when very low battery levels were reached. This will no longer occur.

* This update prevents you from loading packages that only work with the Newton 2.0 operating system. Previously, 2.0 packages could be loaded causing unexpected results.

* The MessagePad displays "Ink Text" (received via email from a Newton PDA that uses the Newton 2.0 operating system) as boxes.  Previously, an error message appeared.

* The MessagePad now converts unknown fonts when displaying text.  Previously, an error message appeared.

* Attempting to beam owner information from a Newton PDA that uses the Newton 2.0 operating system  to your MessagePad (i.e. "Beam My Card") displays an improved error message.  Previously, "error -48006" appeared.  Note: The data is still not transferred.

* When you try to erase a write-protected card that was formatted on a Newton PDA that uses the Newton 2.0 operating system,  the correct error message appears.  Previously, the "Are you sure you want to erase this card?" slip appeared.

* "Receive Beams Automatically" no longer causes severe battery drain. Previously it would leave the processor running until the MessagePad was reset or "Receive Beams Automatically" was turned off.

* The connection icon has a new option ("DOS or Windows 9600 serial") allowing a 9600 baud serial connection.  You  may need this connection type if you're using the Newton Backup Utility on certain Windows computers. See the documentation that came with the Newton Backup Utility for more information.  (Note: You only use the Newton Backup Utility with your MessagePad 110 if you're transferring information to a Newton PDA that uses the Newton 2.0 operating system.)
