I once had an init called da-menuz or hier-da or something like that but
found that the version I had (.xx84)? did not work on my ci. Basically I
used it to get a hierarchical menu for the control panel items in the apple
menu. Does anyone know of something that will do this on a ci?

However, I have been told my all my friends (those that use IIci's that is) that this is impossible because it doesn't work on theirs. Who knows. Anyway, I run 6.0.7 with a large variety of INIT's as my system as well. Perhaps the trick is that I only have hier-da/DA menuz set to do the Contorl Panel menu and that's it, all the other options are unchecked. Anyway, hier-DA/DA menuz has gone commercial and become part of NOW utilities. You'd hope the version they ship with it works with IIci's, but I don't know, I've never seen it. --Scott McGuire smcguire@eagle.mit.edu

I too am having an intermittent problem with DAmenuz. Setup is: IIx, system 6.0.5, multifinder 6.1b9 and bunches of INITs :-) The problem: sometimes (not immediately after a reboot) selecting control panel when in the finder does not bring up the heirachical menu and you can't bring up the control panel. If you go into an application it always works! Problem seems to be related to MF 6.1b9 (I have a friend who has the same thing on a IIci under 6.0.5). I am using the 'Spirit of '76 release (0.9x76?) which has dire warnings about being an intermediate release. Anybody else see this and solved the problem. At the moment DAmenuz has been dumped for the 'Set aside' feature. Many thanks Kevin G.

If you go into an application it always works! I had the same thing happen. You can also select the control panel from OnCue (with Multifinder 6.1b9, if you select "insert application switching menu" it gives a list of DAs instead.) >Problem seems to be related to MF 6.1b9 (I have a friend who has the same >thing on a IIci under 6.0.5). Multifinder 1.6b9 seems to be the culprit in my case as well - at least, putting the old Multifinder back makes the problem go away. >I am using the 'Spirit of '76 release (0.9x76?) which has dire warnings about >being an intermediate release. I have the latest (?) release, without dire warnings of it being an intermediate release, and have the same problem. >Anybody else see this and solved the problem. No solution. I just no longer use DA menuz. I've discovered that I mostly used it simply for the control panel menu. And by using the CDEVs nothing, unscrolly, and select CDEV (all freeware), I can open up the control panel and have it sit on the side of the desk if I want. Or in any event, selecting the CDEV I want is fairly quick and painless. >At the moment DAmenuz has been dumped for the 'Set aside' feature. >Many thanks >Kevin G.
