Make a Eudora E-mail disk 1.0 (AS)

This is an AppleScript which automates the process of putting the Eudora
settings on a disk. For those who aren't already aware, this is a way that
multiple users can use a single application without reconfiguring the
settings and without compromising privacy. Is Eudora wonderful or what!?

You could just copy the settings folder to a disk, except that this script
also prompts users for their e-mail address and real name, filling in the
blanks for them, so that they never have to get into the settings dialog.
It also uses a settings file that has been renamed to something more
obvious. It was designed to make life easier for lab administrators who
have multiple e-mail users using their machines.

It includes the following features:
Will not allow saving the settings on the hard drive
Checks e-mail address for illegal characters
Administrators only need to know how to configure Eudora. No AppleScript
knowledge is required
Renamed Settings file for ease of use
Simple Read Me for users

It requires:
Scriptable Finder -- comes with System 7.5
Eudora 1.5.x
Stuffit Expander 3.5 or higher

Contents of the archive:
The script
Eudora settings folder stuffed and renamed
Read me file

You can also access the script and the most up-to-date Read Me from my
homepage below. It is freeware, but it'd be nice to get e-mail from
satisfied (and dissatisfied) users!
