 Super Boomerang, currently version 2.0.1, is the commercial version of
Boomerang, and is sold as one of NOW Utilities.
 I believe the last version of Boomerang is 2.0.B9 and that it is the
same init - though Super Boomerang might be more documented.

 NOW Utilities is a very nice package btw. It includes also an init called
NOW Menus which happens to be the commercial version of HierDA, and some
others like an alarm clock, an application/DA/file launcher (a la OnCue),
an init manager, a screen locker, and a few others. There is also a bonus
application to customize the layout of your desktop etc.
