Description:
	
   The FrameManager package has been designed in the interest of increasing productivity for the BeOS developer. Its primary purpose is to provide an efficient way to implement resizing and positioning behaviors for BView objects. Its resizing code far exceeds Be's current positioning system and allows for complex dynamic positioning for components such as tab views and splitters for view resizement. 

This lightweight set of classes do not require the use of inheritance and may be incorporated easily into existing projects. In addition to providing a simple set of powerful classes for implementing interfaces, a visual tool for building and testing resizing behaviours is also included. The visual source tool allows the developer to minimize the amount of time necessary to code the desired dynamic behaviour and to write the configuration to a resource.
