To the archive admin:

This is a tool for helping developers creating installation packages.
It is compiled for the i386, m68k and hppa architectures, and needs
at least NS3.x to run.

From the Help:

PackageBuilder 1.1
------------------

The PackageBuilder application was written to simplify the process of generating installation packages for use with the Installer.app. 
It is used instead of the package & chunkPackage command line utilites.

PackageBuilder is compiled for the i386, m68k and hppa architectures. PackageBuilder is only tested on my 486 system with NS release 3.2, but should work without any problems on any hardware architecture together with NS 3.x.

Many thanks go to Timothy Reed and Art Isbell for coming up with so many excellent suggestions for improvement.

Please mail me any comments, questions, suggestions, bug reports etc that you have, and I'll see what I can do about it.

Enjoy!

This release fixes most of the bugs in the first release.

New/improved features:

-	You can drop text files on the script/readme text views,
	and the file contents will be pasted at the current 
	caret position. (supports plain, rtf and rtfd)

-	Support for rtf script files

-	Proper support for a rtfd readme-file

-	File drop areas for all pathnames (+ support for an 
	OpenPanel for all file choices).

-	Activity monitor

-	User preferences (default fonts, output directory)

-	Some emacs key-bindings support for the script-files

-	Compiled for hppa architecture

-	The .package files are now file packages, so you can
	edit the script files and the readme-file directly
	in the file package.

+ more....
