The confusion here is between two different archives:  PopMenu gives you a 
number of programming hooks written in C and ASM (I believe) that allow you
to program popmenus (via Sun) directly into your own projects.  PopUpMenu,
however, is an external executable that does the job for *any* application.
The version that I have is 3.2, and it is rock-solid.  The only time it has
crashed was in an *extremely* low memory situation.
