NEXTSTEP Applications

• Edit - This application can be used to create documents with text and graphics.
• FaxReader - You use the FaxReader application to read and organizefaxes that you receive.
• Grab - The Grab application provides ways to capture part or all of your computer screen, and then to either save the "grabbed" images to a .tiff file, or to copy them to the Pasteboard. Grab provide four separated ways to grab images from your screen: selection, window, screen, and timed screen.

• Preferences - You use the Preference application to personalize your work space, manage hardware, andcontrol access to your computer.
• Preview - The Preview application lets you view PostScript and TIFF images. Preview starts up when you clickthe Preview button in the standard Print panel or Fax panel, and when you double-click a file with a ".ps", ".eps"or ".tiff" extension.
• PrintManager - You use PrintManager to add a printer or fax modem you have attached to your computer tothe list of those available in an application's Print or Choose Fax Modem panel. You can also remove a printer or fax modem from the list.
• Terminal - This application will emulate the terminal type VT100.

Depending on which books are open, Webster displays dictionary or thesaurus entries (or both) in the text area. Clicking thedictionary and thesaurus buttons opens and closes the books.

NEXTSTEP Developer

• DBModeler - This application is a database model building tool.
• HeaderViewer - You can use the HeaderViewer application to browse classes, language elements, and header files, and to perform searches on header files and on-line document files.
• IconBuilder - This application allows for the creation of icons in a manner that is very much like a drawing package.

• Malloc Debugger - Malloc Debug is a utility for measuring the dynamic memory usage of applications and for finding memory leaks. You can use MallocDebug to measure all allocated memory in an application or to measure the memory allocated since a given point in time. Malloc Debug also contains a conservative garbage detector that can be used to detect memory leaks.

Yap lets you enter, edit, and execute PostScript code on the fly and allows you to read and write text files so the code can be used elsewhere. Yap is intended for experimenting with short, hand-created segments of PostScript and is pretty much useless for previewing page-oriented documents as it ignores all Encapsulated PostScript comments (such as %%BoundingBox and %%Page).
