Composer 3.0 is a package creation utility for the Mac OS known best  
for its unrivaled simplicity
and power.  The ability to point and click to create packages in  
either the .dmg or .pkg format
opens up the world of package creation to all system administrators.   
Composer creates
packages by scanning a target hard drive before and after software  
installation and then bundles
the differences between the two into a Package.  In response to the  
popularity of Composer and
community requests for a stand-alone version, JAMF Software decided  
to release this component
of the Casper Suite at no charge.

A note of caution for this, otherwise fine product:
