If you are running the older Macintosh System 7, PowerMenu adds a contextual menu to your system so you can still use this innovative feature without upgrading to MacOS 8. Version 2.2.3 corrects a startup bug and greatly accelerates the drawing of custom icons under MacOS 8.5. PowerMenu's contextual menu commands let you do all these operations with a single click: - Open files straight into any application. If the application you want to use isn't running, PowerMenu automatically launches it for you - Move, copy or make an alias of files straight into target folders of your choosing - Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application PowerMenu also provides these handy features: - "File Copy and Paste", a unique feature that makes manipulating files much easier. With File Copy and Paste, you can "pick up" files and "drop" them into another folder without dragging and dropping. You can even "gather" many files from different locations and copy or move them all to a single target folder with just a few clicks or keystrokes! - A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly open or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single click. PowerMenu is heavily customizable and is optimized for both Macintosh and Power Macintosh computers, meaning it will run at full speed on whatever model you use. PowerMenu requires MacOS 8.x, System 7.5.x, or System 7.1.x with the Scriptable Finder installed. PowerMenu is $15US shareware.

It features binary posting; styled text, image, and movie viewing; flexible article filtering and sorting; background and possibly deferred message sending and downloading of text and binary posts; and multiple character set support. Yet Another NewsWatcher 4.2.1 is free. It requires System 8.5 or later. Apart from the usual bug fixes, this version replaces the old, modal Filter Groups dialog with a new non-modal Filters List window. The new window allows all filters to be shown at once, or it's possible to display only selected filters using the same kind of "live filtering" available for subject and full group windows. It's also now possible to make batch changes on selected filters to change their label, expiration, etc. Note to archivists: YA-NewsWatcher 4.2.1 replaces the earlier 4.x versions of YA-NewsWatcher. It does NOT replace the 3.x versions which are still published for people using older system software.
