- Well, there is Apple's BalloonWriter (located on Developer CD's
- and possibly on ftp.apple.com), but it has bugs and not the greatest tool
- in the world. Also, the current version (1.5?) of AppMaker (Bowers Development)
- support doing dialog & menu balloons.

- Personally, I use Rez (from MPW) and Resorcerer to do my balloons -
- not the most graphical approach but it is quick & easy (and I can use cut/copy
- paste to speed things up).
