Greetings Bill,

I know for sure that Palletizer can be found in the MACHYPER forum on
CompuServe.  It has probably migrated to the other services by now.  I haven't
noticed it here on the net.

In my estimation, Palletizer is more difficult to use than the PowerTools
palette maker, but I only used it for a little while before chickening out in
favor of the Apple and Claris approved solution, since the author admitted he
reverse engineered it rather than working from specifications... *heh*.  I
don't even know for sure if I still have the stack, but I can probably grab it
off CompuServe again.

I wish I could remember the commercial product.  It is published by the same
people who did Dan Shafer's scripting tools.  I keep thinking HyperPress, but
I'm not sure that's right.  I think they published ScriptEdit too.  At any
rate, if I locate it or those comatose brain cells wake up I'll post it. 
Supposedly it is quite sophisticated, allowing edit text fields and even list
manager lists in the pallettes, along with the regular stuff.
