this is a small update to Eudora Batch Find, a little utility written in
AppleScript that offers batch search for the email program Eudora (versions
1.5 and above). It lets you search for a string within a subset or all of
your mailboxes in one go and will display all matches in a list. A click on
a match will then show the start of the message, open that message's window
in Eudora or create a new message with a reply.

Note that you need to install some Scripting Additions before you can run
this AppleScript (apart from the one included); a html file with download
addresses is part of the distribution. All the necessary Scripting
Additions are free. They are: Dialog Director v0.7, Jon's Commands and GTQ
Library (from which only the Sort command is needed).

This utility is free; AppleScript source is included (as text file).


What's new in version 1.0.1 (changes since version 1.0)

- The package also includes a version that should run on System 7.0. It
doesn't show its dialogs floating above all Eudora windows; if you prefer
it this way, you can run this version under Systems later than 7.0.

- For the AppleScript versions with floating dialogs: it's now possible to
close the Batch Find application even when its dialogs are no longer
visible because Eudora is not open anymore (or when the Batch Find
application is in front while its dialogs are displayed above Eudora's
windows). Just press Command-Period to close Batch Find. If you have Eudora
3.1 or later, you can use the plug-in "Quit Batch Find" included in this
archive.

- The AppleScripts applications are now compiled as read-only, which has
several advantages:
- less memory required to run (500 KB on 68k Macs, 600 KB for Power Macs)
- closing the script is much faster
- opening seems to be slightly faster as well
- file sizes are much smaller (about 60 KB)

- The "Reply" button in the result dialog will now close the message that
is replied to if its window was open.

- Since AppleScript stores global variables in the script file itself,
antivirus programs might be triggered if they note changed file size or
modification date after you run Batch Find. This is now mentioned in the
documentation.

- Several small changes (see beginning of the file "Read Me First" for a
complete list).

The size of the archive is 198 KB (StuffIt archive). It contains the
following documents and folders:


Read Me First
Batch Find Manual
Technical Information
Lab set-up for multiple users
Download links.html
Quit Batch Find

Batch Find application, a folder containing:
Batch Find
Batch Find Sys 7.0
Batch Find Sys 7.1
Batch Find OSAX, a folder containing:
Batch Find OSAX.68k
Batch Find OSAX.PPC
Batch Find scripts as text, a folder containing:
Batch Find Sys 7.0.txt
Batch Find Sys 7.1.txt
Batch Find.txt


This should replace the earlier version 1.0 in the Eudora subfolder of the
info-mac archive,
comm/inet/mail/edr
and it should be called "eudora-batch-find-101.hqx"

All files were checked for viruses with Virex 5.8.1 (definition file of
29/7/98); no virus infections were found.
