From the read me:

Sunrise
(formerly Let there be Light, PowerBright)
for Newton 2.0
(c) 1996 by Ray Rischpater. All Rights Reserved.
version 1.0, 960722

Sunrise for Newton 2.0 lets you automatically play sounds or  activates the backlight on your Newton MessagePad every time the device is turned on or off. If you usually use your Newton in dimly lit areas, or want to customize your Newton's sound playing, you  may want this package.  On the other hand, if you don't have a backlight Newton, or are worried about battery life, you can probably live without this package.
