More info on the template editor called !Glazier that I mentioned a few
days back... It's by a guy called Tim Browse... I'll ask him if I can post
it on comp.binaries.acorn soon...

The following includes replies to several posts, with willy-nilly quoting
from them all! ;-)

>This is interesting.  Would you mind asking him to reveal the new template
>format ? Maybe we have some suggestions for improvement.

Well, he's mentioned that he has an official filetype, and I've sent him my
suggestions for what would be nice to put in. Any other suggestions I
receive I'll try to forward to him... I'm sure that when a format emerges
he will be quite happy to reveal the contents to all... 

>>So any suggestions I will collect and pass on to him if he doesn't get them

Already implemented. You can even drag the selection out and drop it into
another window to copy the icons across! It runs in 2 modes "Design" (where
you can't affect the WIMP-selected-bit-status), and "Test" (Where you can, but
you can't select&edit the icons)

Well, he said he might be willing to release the source when he's tidied it
up a bit...

All good ideas, which I'll try to pass on...
