Michael,

What do you (plan to) use to create your Unicode layouts for Mac OS?
ResEdit only lets you edit 8-bit layouts ('KCHR' resource). The only tool
I know of to create Mac OS Unicode layouts ('uchr' resources) is my own
(free) web application, at

http://wordherd.com/keyboards/

On a related note I wonder if anyone can tell me whether the new Mac OS
10.2 "Jaguar" lets you drag and drop, or otherwise easily add custom
keyboard layouts, like with version 9 and previous, or whether you still
have to jump into Terminal and make an unsupported hack to the Human
Interface Toolbox system files.
