Barry -
As I said in an another message to Bill Shipley, look for an app called  
ScriptWriter coming from a company called Firstsoft here in Los Alamos. It  
should be here in late August and be priced very competitively.

Then again there's SystemWorks availiable free from: srawgw.sra.co.jp !

Don't believe the docs, It does compile for 68040's

Another vote for SystemWorks-version 1.1 is now available on sonata.cc.purdue.
edu. You *must* recompile if using on an 040. There are some minor bugs
which the author is currently fixing. The biggest drawback at this time,
and the author is aware of this and working on it, is the handling of
multiple files. SW now handles "dragging to icons."
