UTool is a REALbasic application template. Its purpose is to save you time
in creating a polished single-window "utility" style application (as opposed
to a document-based application). Version 2.0 requires RB 5.5.2 or later,
and works with Mac OS X, Mac Classic, and Windows. (I haven't tried it on
Linux.) It's free and open-source at:

It's got windows that remember their positions between sessions, preference
storage & retrieval, a decent-looking about box with clickable URLs, and
platform-appropriate behavior (especially all those yucky menu details).
It's also got a ton of nifty helper routines and class extensions to do all
those things you're too lazy to code up yourself.
The focus is on simplicity and ease of customization. This version adds a
ReadMe file to get you started even faster, and uses as its built-in "useful
example" a drag-and-drop file/folder iterator that you can easily customize
or toss out.
Actual users of version 1.0 supplied these unsolicited testimonials:
"lets beginners start much higher on the curve"
"this should be in every beginners tool box"
"pretty cool"
"great"
"very nice piece of work"
"quite spiffy"
"slicker than snot on a glass doorknob"
Will version 2 measure up to this staggering achievement of cult-like
devotion? You won't know unless you try it...
