- README for PC Eudora for MS Windows
- ===================================
-
- Version 1.1 Alpha 10
-
-
- PC Eudora is an electronic mail tool based on Eudora for the Macintosh.
- Eudora was originally written by Steve Dorner of the University of
- Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This version has been completely
- rewritten by QUALCOMM Incorportated, San Diego, CA in C++, using the Zinc
- Interface Library for the Graphical User Interface.
- Those familiar with Eudora should have no problems using PC Eudora,
- and even new users will find PC Eudora to be easy to learn and use.

-
- Minimum Requirements
- --------------------
-
- PC Eudora for MS Windows requires the following:
-
- - IBM PC compatible machine (at least 386)
- - MS Windows Version 3.1
- - Microsoft (or compatible) mouse
- - WinSock V1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack
- - At least 750KB of free disk space (more depending on mailbox sizes)
-
-
-
- How to Install
- --------------
-
- 1. Create a new directory for the eudora files (C:\EUDORA is a good choice).
-
-
- 2. Copy the following files into the directory you created in step #1:
-
- WEUDORA.EXE
- PCEUDORA.HLP
-
-
- 3. Add the following environment variable to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET TMP=C:\TMP (or some temp directory)
-
- Set an environment variable TZ for timezone calculations.
-
- SET TZ=xxxnnyyy
-
- where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nn is
- the offset in hours from GMT. xxx is the timezone during Standard Time
- and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not
- change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank.
-
- If you wish your mail files to reside somewhere other than where
- the executable resides, then you can create an environment variable
- to point to where you want your mail to be.
-
- SET EUDORA=C:\EUDORA
-
- This is useful if you want to keep the executable on a server, but
- each user has their own mail heirarchy. Always keep the help file in
- the same directory as the executable.
-
- Another way to set the mail directory is to specify the directory as
- the first parameter on the command line.
-
- PC Eudora will use the directory on the command line first. If one
- isn't present, then the EUDORA environment variable will be used. If
- that isn't present the directory where the executable resides will be
- used.
-
-
- 4. Your TCP/IP package must be configured to support several TCP/IP
- services. Commonly, these services are listed in a SERVICES file.
- Below are a list of the services which must exist, and what they
- might look like in a typical services file. Make sure that you
- make any changes necessary for your TCP/IP package to specifiy the
- location of the SERVICES file.
-
- pop3 110/tcp # Post Office Protocol, V3
-
- In order to be able to send mail, you must have an entry for SMTP that
- appears as follows:
-
- smtp 25/tcp # Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
-
- In order to make PH work (if you have a PH server), you also need to
- place the following line in your SERVICES file:
-
- ns 105/tcp # CSNET Nameservr
-
-
- 5. Reboot your machine so the changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will take
- effect.
-
-
- 6. Run MS Windows and add PC Eudora as an item to a new or existing program
- group. Be sure to add the mail directory as the first parameter of the
- command line if your mail directory will be in a different spot than
- the executable and you're not using the EUDORA environment variable (see
- Step 3).
-
-
- The first time you run PC Eudora for Windows you will have to edit
- some of the configuration information in order to be able to send and
- receive mail.
-
-
- Select Configurations from the Special Menu. The fields you need to
- review are:
-
- POP Account: This should be set to the address where you receive
- your mail. The entry must be entered in the following
- form:
- "username@machine_name"
- This is a required field on this screen.
-
- SMTP Server: This should be set to the address of a machine that
- supports SMTP. If the machine that your POP account is
- on supports SMTP, you need not fill this in (Eudora will
- use the machine your POP account is on to deliver mail
- also).
-
- Return Address: This should be set to the address of how you wish your
- return address to appear in mail that you send. If your
- POP account (as shown above) is also your return address
- then you can leave this field blank also.
-
- Real Name: This is field you can use to fill in your actual name
- (i.e. John Smith) and it will be appended to the
- return address in messages you send, enclosed in
- parentheses.
-
-
-
- Additional Configuration Notes
- ------------------------------
-
- If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, then when new mail
- arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work,
- your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have
- installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from
- ftp.cica.indiana.edu, the file /pub/pc/win3/sounds/speak.exe). Eudora has a
- built in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV format.
- To change the default new mail sound, edit the EUDORA.INI file and add an
- entry entry in the [Miscellaneous] section called NewMailSound. Set the entry
- to the name to the filename of the wave file. If the entry is just a
- filename, with no path, then PC Eudora will look for it in the mail directory
- (see Step 3 of How to Install aove). Here's an example of what it may look
- like in the INI file:
-
- [Miscellaneous]
- NewMailSound=NEWMAIL.WAV
-
-
- Unimplemented Features
- ----------------------
-
- The following is a list of known limitations of PC Eudora for Windows:
-
- - The Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste facilities are not available through the
- Edit Menu, although Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste can be done with hot keys
- - Nickname completion and Insert Recipient not yet completed
- - MDI not yet supported
- - Add as recipient not yet completed
- - No built-in serial communications (SLIP & PPP can be used)
- - Some of the switches are not tied in yet (they are grayed out)
