-
- This little applet should be dropped in the Startup Items Folder of the active
- System Folder. After startup, the applet will run in the background. The first
- time you run it, you will get a dialog asking you where your Eudora application
- is. Find it on your hard disk and press the return key. Make sure you do not also
- put an alias to Eudora in your Startup Items Folder, since launching Eudora
- before Eudora Announcer 2.1.3 might cause problems during the shutdown sequence
- of your Mac. Eudora Announcer 2.1.3 will launch Eudora automagically at startup
- time. Before you install Eudora Announcer 2.1.3, check the requirements below.
-
- **** What does Eudora Announcer 2.1.3 do? ****
-
- When Eudora receives new mail Eudora Announcer 2.1.3 gets automagically notified
- by Eudora. Eudora Announcer 2.1.3 will tell you the sender and the subject of the
- new messages using the Speech Manager.
-
- **** Requirements: ****
-
- Speech Manager, Eudora 1.5.1 or better (it's a good idea to upgrade anyway),
- Applescript, Jon's Commands OSAX, Gestalt OSAX, Speech OSAX, Macintosh Computer.
-
- **** Troubleshooting: ****
-
- 1) **DO NOT** run Eudora Announcer from the script editor: you need to know how
- Eudora works before attempting that. You will mess up your Eudora settings file:
- Eudora will start notifying Script Editor rather than Eudora Announcer. If
- you're already experiencing problems because of this, do the following:
-
- -IF YOU'RE NOT A SCRIPT WIZARD: Create a new Eudora settings file to replace the
- old one. OR -IF YOU REALLY THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING: Clear all 'ENot'
- resources from your Eudora settings file using ResEdit and save.
-
- 2) If you are having other problems with Eudora Announcer (it starts up, says
- ready to announce messages, but doesn't announce), try opening the script in
- Script Editor, change all references to "Eudora" into "whatever", during
- compilation you will get a dialog asking you where "whatever" is. Select your Eudora
- app, and save. Now make sure to set the custom icon bit using resedit, or
- you'll lose the lipstick icon.
-
- 3) If you are a Script Hacker, and you do not want to install Jon's Commands or the
- Gestalt OSAX, you can remove the designated parts of the Eudora Announcer 2.1.3
- Script. Remove the lines in the script between the comment -- REMOVE these lines
- if... --
-
- **** Changes: ****
-
- Version 2.1.3:
-
- Fixed a cosmetic bug that causes all applets on your machine to get the
- announcer icon. If you've experienced this problem, please rebuild your desktop
- after trashing previous versions of Eudora Announcer 2.x.
