====================
Eudora for Macintosh
====================
-------------
Version 2.1.3
-------------
This maintenance release fixes a bug in Eudora that caused "Unimplemented
Trap" crashes when running previous versions of Eudora on PowerMac 9500s.
It also changes the splash screen to reflect the new Eudora product name --
Eudora Pro. Current Eudora licensees now have all the core e-mail
functionality that new users who purchase Eudora Pro will be receiving,
including spell checking. At this time, the TCP/IP connection software and
Internet service provider offer included in the off-the-shelf Eudora Pro
product are not being made available as part of an update package. This
could change in the future based on customer demand.
This README provides information on the following topics:
- Minimum Requirements
- Installation
- Compatibility
- Questions
- Bug Reports
- Requests for Features
- License and Legal Information
--------------------
Minimum Requirements
--------------------
In order to use Eudora on your Macintosh, the following minimum
requirements must be met:
- System 7 or later
- Access to SMTP and POP3 services through a network or an Internet Service
Provider
------------
Installation
------------
To update your Eudora software, double-click the Eudora 2.1.3 updater file.
The updater program will prompt you through the update process. Please be
aware that the updater program will only work on unmodified copies of Eudora
2.1.2. If you have changed the program with a resource editor (i.e.,
Resedit), the update will not work. You must re-install the original version
of Eudora 2.1.2 prior to running the updater.
NOTE: If you are running a version of Eudora by QUALCOMM prior to 2.1.2,
you must update to 2.1.2 prior to updating to 2.1.3.
-------------
Compatibility
-------------
System 6
--------
Symptom: Eudora refuses to run.
Explanation: Sorry, Eudora does not run under System 6.
Workaround: None.
Apple Menu Options
------------------
Symptom: Apple menu shows up in Forward To or Redirect To menus.
Explanation: There is a conflict between Eudora and the control panel
"Apple Menu Options".
Workaround: Disable Apple Menu Options. Other hierarchical Apple menu
utilities (such as MenuChoice 2.0) do not suffer this problem.
AppleTalk Remote Access:
-----------------------
Symptom: you get an alert that says "the selected port is in use".
Explanation: If you have ARA's "Answer calls" option selected (from Remote
Access Setup from Setup), and you have Eudora configured to use the
Communications Toolbox on the same port that ARA uses, Eudora may be unable
to connect. This is a conflict between the Communications Toolbox and ARA.
Workaround: Turn "Answer calls" off in ARA if you have this problem.
Apple Modem Tool
----------------
Symptom: Eudora cannot login to your server, instead timing out during the
navigation process.
Explanation: Eudora is incompatible with version 1.0 of the Apple Modem Tool.
Solution: You must use version 1.1 or later of the Apple Modem Tool, or the
Hayes Modem Tool. We recommend the use of version 1.5 of the Apple Modem
Tool.
Moire
-----
Symptom: 68040-based Macintosh crashes when Eudora is launched.
Explanation: Eudora is incompatible with the screen saver "Moire", when run
with the 68040 caches enabled in 32-bit mode.
Workaround: We suggest the freeware screen saver "DarkSide".
NOW Utilities 4.0/SuperBoomerang
-------------------------------
Symptom: When launched, Eudora complains about being unable to open certain
mailboxes, claiming they are "too large".
Explanation: The "reopen documents" feature of SuperBoomerang is the
problem It will not work as intended with Eudora, and it is really not
necessary for Eudora anyway.
Solution: You may disable this option by using the "Disable Re-Launch" menu
in the "Exclude..." dialog in the SuperBoomerang control panel.
Symptom: You cannot set your application to open TEXT files or your
attachments folder.
Explanation: Versions of NOW Utilities prior to 4.0.1 interfere with this
aspect of Eudora.
Solution: Upgrade to NOW Utilities 4.0.1 or later.
Symptom: Eudora crashes when printing.
Explanation: NOW Up-to-Date Reminder 2.0's Show Battery Status option
causes crashes when Eudora is printing.
Workaround: Turn Show Battery Status off. NOW is aware of the problem, and
has promised to fix it.
Norton Directory Assistance
-------------------------
Symptom: The attachment folder does not change, even if you set it with the
dialog.
Explanation: Norton Directory Assistance interferes with this aspect of Eudora.
Workaround: Hold down the option key before clicking the button in the
Attachments dialog, and keep it down until the Standard File dialog opens.
Global Village PowerPort Modems
------------------------------
Symptom: Attachments are sometimes corrupted or characters are lost in text
messages.
Explanation: Flow control in Powerbooks is very poor.
Workaround: The best solution is to use version 1.5 of the Apple Modem
Tool, set to "Software MNP" error correction.
CAP/aufs
--------
Symptom: Mailboxes are frequently corrupted.
Explanation: CAP/aufs has a bug that causes problems with Eudora and a few
other programs.
Solution: A patch is available (#168); be sure you have it.
KA-Share
--------
Symptom: Attachments saved to KA-Share volumes cannot be opened from within
Eudora.
Explanation: KA-Share does not implement file id's.
Workaround: Do not put your attachment folder on a KA-Share volume.
Apollo
------
Symptom: Crashes.
Explanation: Version 1.0 of the Apollo application launching utility cannot
handle long window names (such as Eudora generates) if configured to sort
windows alphabetically.
Workaround: Use the Window menus page of the Preferences dialog to set the
sorting to front-to-back.
Greg's Buttons
-------------
Symptom: Dialup Eudora does not work.
Explanation: Versions of Greg's Buttons prior to 3.0 may interfere with the
Communications Toolbox.
Solution: Upgrade to Greg's Buttons 3.0 or later.
FileGuard 2.5.1
-------------
There are reports of problems between Eudora and FileGuard 2.5.1.
DoubleScroll 2.0.3
----------------
Symptom: Eudora windows scroll off into oblivion.
Explanation: DoubleScroll has a bug.
Workaround: None. The author of DoubleScroll has promised a fix.
MenuChoice 1.9
-------------
Symptom: Choosing an item from a submenu of the Apple menu causes strange
dialogs and crashes in Eudora.
Explanation: MenuChoice 1.9 has a bug.
Solution: Get MenuChoice 2.0 or later.
AutoDoubler
-----------
Symptom: None
Explanation: Eudora normally uses "asynchronous" i/o to files, enabling
smoother operations to file servers. AutoDoubler interferes with
asynchronous i/o.
Workaround: Eudora automatically disables asynchronous i/o if it finds
AutoDoubler on your system. StuffIt SpaceSaver (Aladdin Systems) does not
suffer from this problem, so you could also switch to that.
Mac340
-------
Symptom: Strange font displays in Mac340 and/or Eudora.
Explanation: Eudora and Mac340 both use private fonts, and there is an id
conflict.
Workaround: Use a font other than "Mishawaka" in Eudora.
