The new issue of MacWorld has a note about a package called Now
Utilities, being released by Now Software (formerly SmethersBarnes, of
ProtoTyper fame).  This package includes "some former shareware programs
packaged with some new hacks".

One of the items in the Now Utilities package is "NowMenus (known to
shareware users as HierDA or MenuDA) ... an INIT that creates a
hierarchical Apple menu and lets you access the menu bar anywhere on the
screen."  I assume they meant to say "DA menuz" rather than "Menu DA".

Now Utilities will list for $179 [wince!].  Now Software is in Portland,
Oregon and can be reached at +1 503 274 2800.
