Data-collection software for Apple's Newton PDA (personal digital assistant), OmniForm ($1500; additional Newton runtime applications, $150 each) lets you create intelligent forms in Windows or on a Mac for downloading to the Newton. After you load the form on the PDA by modem or serial cable, you complete the fields as they appear on the Newton's screen; you record answers by writing or tapping on the screen. After you complete the form, you send the data back to the host PC for incorporation into your spreadsheet or database. OmniForm is from Wright Strategies (Solana Beach, CA).
