Dialog Factory is a utility to aid in the development of Dialog Director dialogs. It converts DITL or DLOG resources in a file's resource fork to dialog records ready to use for Dialog Director.

You can set placement of dialog items by WYSIWYG in ResEdit's DITL editor, where it allows you to define dialogs in ResEdit utilizing almost all functionality of Dialog Director.

Here are some key features of "Dialog Factory":
Can convert every kind of dialogs stored in file's resource folk.
Can define dialogs that utilize almost all functionality of Dialog Director in ResEdit. The converted dialog records may not require any further editing in your scripting software in most cases.
Unlike the similar tool 'Dialog Dumper' bundled with Dialog Director, it is designed to work on any localized version of MacOS and can process conversion even if the file is opened with ResEdit.
It can instantly demonstrate dialogs in both auto dialog mode and live dialog mode.
It can execute your editing scripts or applets with converted dialog.
It supports font spec table.

Requirements:
Dialog Director
Satimage
