The Apple menu is the single most missed feature of the Classic Mac OS that was never fully implemented in Mac OS X. It is true that the dock does most of it, but many functions such as folder browsing can be painfully slow.

Mr 9 menu is a tiny and completely harmless application that places an icon in the dock. Clicking the icon bring up the Classic Menu bar for instant access to the old Apple menu.

Optional methods include "Access box", which displays a tiny clickable icon just beneath the Blue Apple. "Needle",a strip 100 pixels high just below the Blue apple is designated as a "hot area".

The application also provides instant control over the Classic environment, launching, status check etc. Mr 9 Menu comes with no bells or whistles as it was designed to run on a minimum of space and memory.

Not even code for registration or demo limitations were included so this "pay-if-you-want-ware" comes unlimited and fully functional.

What's New:
Due to overwhelming feedback it is now possible to choose between Access box, Hidden, or Needle via a new Preference panel.
The user can select not to be asked every time the application starts up.
Some improved code.
Version 1.3 features some code updates (Jaguar) and a new icon.
