GadLayout	A system for laying out gadgets in a dynamic font and locale
		sensitive manner.  Note that it is not a graphical editor, but
		a set of routines for programmers to use for much greater con-
		trol in the laying out of gadgets.  Version 36.22 release 1.6
		beta, includes source and an example program.

GadOutline	A shared library intended to provide programmers with a means
		of describing the general layout of a GUI in a font-independant
		manner, taking care of the details of determining the exact
		placement of the individual elements of the display and the
		drudgery of creating and managing all of the gadgets.  In addi-
		tion, it provides a very generalized mechanism for tracking
		the state of all of its gadgets to support automatic resizing
		and closing and opening of a window without loss of context.
		Includes automatic hotkey support and a vector based drawing
		module that can be used for everything from drawing frames
		around groups of gadgets to creating custom images for BOOPSI
		gadgets.  Version 2.0, includes the library, programmer support
		files and some examples.

PSM		Yet Another Public Screen Program.  It was primarily written as
		a demonstration of the gadoutline.library, and is thus current-
		ly very GUIcentric - it does no command line parsing for CLI
		users or even look at its Workbench tooltypes.  On the other
		hand, it does have a very sophisticated multi-window user
		interface and allows almost complete control over the creation
		of screens.  Version 1.0, binary only.
