What, by the way, is so much better about the commercial version that we should all run out and buy it? The nicest new feature in my opinion is that Boomerang 2.1 and higher modify the File menu so that 'Open' becomes a hierarchical menu listing the most recently listed files -- no need to deal with the 'Open' dialog at all! Super Boomerang replaces the boomerang icon in the Open dialog with a menu bar across the top -- easier on novice users certainly, but I'm not sure yet that I didn't prefer the icon. Super Boomerang's 'Find' feature is also reportedly 200% faster. If you registered for the shareware version, then you don't need to run out and buy anything -- they will send you Super Boomerang for free. If you are using the shareware version regularly and you haven't paid the shareware fee, shame on you. -- - Rich Holmes rich@suhep.bitnet Syracuse U.
