System extension formerly shareware, now free.

OtherMenu creates a system-wide hierarchical menu somewhat like the
Apple menu, in the classic Mac OS. Besides opening applications and
documents, it runs 28 little utilities called externals. In a
directory dialog (Open/Save dialog), you can use the menu to select a
file or folder.

Can be used to organize the applications or documents you would like
quick access to.
Once you place an alias in the OtherMenu Folder, it will appear on the
menu.
Rather than manually performing this action, you can take advantage of
OtherMenu "externals" which are handy little applications which can
take care of things like creating an alias to an application, and
placing it in the OtherMenu Folder.

### Externals:

There are several more Externals which perform actions from pasting
the current date in a document, to providing an overview of all
mounted volumes.

The Find? external finds files containing a specified string of text
in its name or data. It's not as feature-packed as many other file-
finding utilities, but it's tuned for speed and can be used inside
directory dialogs. Unlike Sherlock, it does not require indexing your
disks in order to find in content. Accelerated for PowerPC.

Also noteworthy is Memory Map, which shows how applications and other
things are laid out in memory. This can help you to understand the
causes of memory fragmentation.

Programmers can use the provided SDK to write your their own
externals.
