As Kevin Calhoun recently pointed out to me, his own ModalDialog
external (part of the well-known Dartmouth xcmd stack) allows you to
call any modal dialog for which you have resources.  The DLOG and DITL
resources themselves can easily be designed with ResEdit, and this
would all be free.  Apple's own "Power Tools" stack contains a good
Palette maker; the stack was shipped to users' groups authorized to
distribute HC 2.0.  If you don't have access to such a group, you can
buy it from Claris in their $49 package.  I believe the Boston
Computer Society will supply HC 2.0 on disk for about $20, but it may
not be 2.0v2; and I should add that there's been a lot of confusion
(and some ill-feeling, I think) about this user-group distribution of
HC 2; my current understanding is that if a particular group has paid
for a license from Apple, it's OK for them to distribute it, at least
for a limited period of time (like a few months).  Hope I'm not
propagating any falsehoods.
