PowerMenu is a utility that adds powerful commands to your contextual
menu if you are running Mac OS 8 or better. 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 Mac OS 8.

 * DL #1: PowerMenu v2.2.3 the latest copy of this Control Panel,
   Extension and Contextual Menus suite. (English)

 * DL #2: PowerMenu v1.1 an earlier version (Control Panel &
   Extension) in a StuffIt "sit" archive. (English)

 * DL #3: PowerMenu v1.1 an earlier version (Control Panel &
   Extension) in a StuffIt "sit" archive. (Japanese)

 * DL #4: PowerMenu v2.2.3 Extension (only) hacked to remove the
   ?nagware? popup that appears after a while and can (presumably) no
   longer otherwise be removed - hacked by Crutch in 2023, if you are
   the author please contact me, happy to pay my Shareware fees! Just
   install v2.2.3 using one of the above DLs and replace the
   ?PowerMenu Extension? file with this version.

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 gets the job done faster with:

*Fully hierarchical menus to allow you to group items into submenus
for even faster access
Multithreaded operation; PowerMenu rebuilds your menus in the
background while you work, so even very large menus appear instantly.

*Takes full advantage of Mac OS 8 features, but is still fully
compatible with System 7!

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

Version 1.1 consists of a Control Panel and Extension, only. i.e.; It
doesn't include the Contextual Menu Module of v2.x releases, as this
version predates the release of Mac OS 8.0, when Contextual Menu Items
were first released as part of the Macintosh OS. The author in his
enclosed documentation writes about the rumor of this addition to the
Mac OS coming in the near future.
