Text and FormCell are both subclasses of View.  Just follow the  
instructions for creating a CustomView palette.

When you create a new palette project, ProjectBuiler automatically creates  
an empty palette.table file for you; you still have to fill this file in  
with the pertinent information.  This file is needed only by IB in order  
to load the palette.

Since you are convertng a 2.0 IB project file, ProjectBuilder doesn't know  
to create this file for you.  The solution is to find an existing 3.0  
palette (or create a new one from ProjectBuilder) and copy its  
palette.table file into your new project.

The format for the palette.table file is given somewhere in the IB  
documentation and is pretty obvious.
