Yes, I have written yet another template editor, but one with a couple of
unique features:
  
  * Editing of windows and icons is done by clicking options in an edit
    window, instead of having to go through a huge menu tree. All icon data
    (flags, colours, button types, text strings etc.) are in a single
    window, and can be set with one click.

  * Icons can be moved between template windows.
  
  * Includes "statistics" window, as seen in !ShowTemp. Displays the amount
    of memory (for windows and for indirected data) that the templates
    require.

  * Possibility to have icon coordinates locked to a grid. Grid size can be
    set.

  * Icons can be aligned and spaced out (as with objects in !DrawPlus).

  * Possibility to move or edit a selection of icons. Icons can be selected
    one at a time, and by dragging a box around them.

  * Extended "icon info" window shows number, coordinates and size of an
    icon.

  * Icon move and resize operations work on icons of any button type.
    Windows can be moved and resized even if they don't have a title
    bar/resize box.

The program is Freeware. Before I send it to Newcastle and
comp.binaries.acorn, I'd like to have it thoroughly tested.

So, is there anybody willing to have a good look at this program, mistreat
it a bit, and mail the flaws, bugs, likes and dislikes, etc. back to me? I
would also like to know if it runs without problems on machines other than
the type that I have (A3000 + IDE harddisc).

Please send your e-mail address (plus a description of your hardware
configuration) to wsinda@info.win.tue.nl, and I'll send you the program as
uuencoded sparkive.
