I have both Super Boomerang and ShortCut 1.5 and will be doing a comparison
of them for TidBITS at some point soon. My basic impression is that
you won't go wrong with either one. If you use StuffIt archives to
store files a lot, ShortCut will be more helpful. On the other hand,
the hierarchical Open menu that Super Boomerang creates is wonderful.
Keep in mind that you do get the rest of the Now Utilities with Super
Boomerang, and although a number of them aren't as useful with System
7, Now is a good company and is committed to the package. Look for
some cool stuff from then at some point soon.

cheers ... -Adam
