I use SuperSleek and you would find this feature in the Sleek Text & Reply panel a check box called "so called smart paste", just uncheck it. :-} Whilst Eudora is a very comprehensive program, there are a few minor details left out by the authors. However, one of Eudora's great selling points over the competition is it's plug-in architecture. This means that other programmers can write simple little plug-ins that enhance Eudora's performance. Several of these are provided by Qualcomm, including one called 'Esoteric Settings' which allow the modification of quite a few settings that Qualcomm have not included the means to tweak in the standard programme. A far better alternative to Esoteric Settings is a plug in called SuperSleek by Alejandro Lopez-Valencia. This plug in works with version 3.1 (either Pro or Light) to the current version It adds a lot of extra settings to the program including the following: Editable attribution lines (with different lines for 'Reply to Sender' and 'Reply to All') Margin settings for positioning windows Date formats Colour tweaking What information is recorded in the connection log Various network, POP and timeout settings Toolbar button settings Various dialog box & button texts Printing and display fonts It really should be considered an 'essential' piece of kit for any serious Eudora user. obtain it from one of the following addresses: is a good start, but there are many other good sites. Try doing a Sherlock search BTW, If you can't find it, then ask me for a copy and I will send one. :-} HTH Denny ________________ (This message was created using a Eudora Stationary template - another of the neat features packed into this cool email client!) <<>> Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

Some customers considered this inappropriate, so I apologize to all of you personally. This new version should erase your worries." And for those that haven't heard, Download Deputy's price has been reduced by 20%! For a limited time, Download Deputy is just $24 instead of the original $30. What is Download Deputy? Download Deputy is a convenient utility that manages all of your Internet downloads. Why have multiple files downloading in many different programs when one easy-to-use, efficient utility can handle them all? Don't let your web browsing grind to a halt because of file transfers when Download Deputy can automatically download everything later. When surfing the 'net, it's often a pain to take a break while each interesting utility or application you've found downloads. After all, the Web is all about instant gratification, and download time is like a speed bump on the information super highway. Enter Download Deputy! The Deputy lets you create lists of files you want, then download all the files later. Avoiding surfing downtime while downloading files is just one of the cool features Download Deputy provides. All you have to do to add a file to the download list is copy the link location for the file and paste it into Download Deputy's URL window. You can then catch the next wave, secure in the notion that you can download the file later. Once you're finished surfing, click on Download Deputy's Go button and get yourself some coffee, pardner. Download Deputy is on the trail of each of the packages you've selected. If the site you're trying to download from is busy or unavailable, you can configure Download Deputy to skip that site, retry until it gets through or retry later. If your ISP makes you pay different rates for using the Net at different times, Download Deputy is a big win for you price-wise. Download Deputy is like telephone software that lets you "automagically" bundle all your long distance calls in off hours. In this case, you'll recoup the shareware fee in a few days. Download Deputy isn't a gimpy sidekick such as in a black and white western. It's a genuine utility that can be your best download friend. Saddle up! Download Deputy is $24 USD. A fully function trial version is available for free from the ilesa Software website and all major Macintosh shareware ftp sites. Version 4.2 is a $12 upgrade to registered users of version 3.x. ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/comm/inet/download-deputy-422.hqx; 379 K] ------------------------------ Date: 6 Mar 2001 From: Ton Brand To: Subject: [*] DownloadWizard 1.0 DownloadWizard 1.0 What it is: AppleScript droplet that downloads files which are listed as URLs in a text file. Author: Ton Brand Company: Ton's Software License: Freeware Computer: PowerPC or iMac Mac OS: Mac OS 8.6 or later Abstract: DownloadWizard is an AppleScript droplet that downloads files which are listed as return-delimited URLs in a text file. The default download path is the root of your startup disk, but you can define a destination folder. You can also choose to have Remote Access disconnect you when all downloading is done - by default you will stay online. Your starting point is one or more text files that contain downloadable URLs, separated by hard returns. The following protocols are supported: http, https, ftp and file. If the program sees a wrong URL, an alert is displayed suggesting to skip this URL. For your convenience, this alert will abort itself after 20 seconds, so that the whole process can continue, which is important if you let the program download a bunch of files overnight. To start downloading you simply drag the text file(s) that contain the URLs to DownloadWizard's icon.

Launch Forest, listen, and relax! Working on your computer can sometimes be very stressful; with Forest, not anymore. Forest is packed with 6 worlds: Country World, Forest World, Garden World, Night World, Storm World and the very popular Storm World II. We probably don't have to explain you what sounds the worlds will play. Forest can also play Relax environments. Some people might tell us that looping the same world over and over is boring, if not annoying. That is why Forest features a playlist, allowing you to vary the worlds. You can even choose how long the worlds must play! No, it's not over yet. If you don't want Forest to continually play something, you can ask Forest to play random nature sounds. From time to time, you'll hear a lovely bird or a cricket. Of course, you can choose the time Forest must wait beetween each random sounds. And what's more, you can even ask Forest to play night sounds such as owls after 9PM! Forest features an extremely cool interface. Drag and drop the worlds on Forest or even on Forest's window to play them! Forest will display the info window (what world is being played, the author and a different background graphic for each world) only if it is the frontmost app. You don't have to close anything, everything is automatic! Do you want to create yourself a cool world? No problem! Forest features a very easy-to-use World Builder; you don't have to master ResEdit. [Available only for registered users.] Forest can also read MP3, AIFF & QuickTime files to loop them forever! That is why we can call Forest a mini-player, since it can change the sound's treble, bass & balance to enhance your listening pleasure.

It is useful for converting QIF downloaded from online banking or credit card web sites before importing them into Quicken. To convert a QIF file, just drop it onto QIF Categories. You can configure QIF Categories as a browser helper application for files of type application/qif to have it invoked automatically on downloaded QIF files. QIF Convert converts each transaction in the QIF file by: 1) Deleting any existing category, and adding a category associated with the transaction's description; 2) Removing the plus sign from transaction amounts (because not all versions of Quicken allow plus signs); 3) Optionally adding an indication that the transaction has cleared; 4) Optionally extracting a check number from the description (unless the transaction already has a check number) and using it as the check number that Quicken will recognize; 5) Optionally changing the description and category to values associated with the combination of the original description and the amount; and 6) Optionally allowing you to confirm the transaction, where the description and/or category can be changed, or the transaction can be deleted. You have the option of store transactions from one ore multiple accounts in the same output file. System requirements: * System 7.5.3 through 9.1 For more information, please read the documentation enclosed, or visit the QIF Convert Web page: http://homepage.mac.com/jplw/QIFConvert1.3.html [Archived as /info-mac/app/bus/qif-convert-13.hqx; 238 K] ------------------------------ Date: 7 Mar 2001 From: John Woodward To: Subject: [*] QIF Web Extract 1.1 - Extracts Investment Transactions One important feature that continues to be missing from Quicken for the Macintosh is the ability to import investment transactions from brokerage firms. QIF Web Extract addresses this problem by extracting transactions from brokerage website transaction history pages and converting them into Quicken Interchange Format (QIF). The resulting QIF file can then be imported into Quicken. To use QIF Web Extract, you display your transaction history in your web browser. You then select the entire web page (or the frame of the page with transactions), and copy it into the clipboard. Then run QIF Web Extract, which extracts the transactions you specify from the clipboard. To be able to accomplish this extraction, QIF Web Extract needs to know what securities and accounts you have defined in your Quicken file, and it needs to know how your website presents its transaction information. You need to export your securities and accounts from Quicken, and QIF Web Extract needs to learn about your website. QIF Web Extract has the ability to learn about a wide range of websites. However, no guarantee can be made that any particular website can be learned. Since different browsers encode web page information copied into the clipboard in different ways, the specific web browser used is a factor in determining whether QIF Web Extract can learn a particular website. QIF Web Extract has been tested with and works with both Internet Explorer and Netscape. System requirements: * System 7.5.3 through 9.1 For more information, please read the documentation enclosed, or visit the QIF Web Extract Web page: http://homepage.mac.com/jplw/QIFWebExtract.html [Archived as /info-mac/app/bus/qif-web-extract-11.hqx; 182 K] ------------------------------ Date: 7 Mar 2001 From: Sascha Bigalke To: Subject: [*] SmartView 2.0 SmartView 2.0 - With SmartView you are able to display setext files like TidBITS for example.

Features include the opportunity to do various inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; to do exercises based on sound or pictures; and to play various word-games. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages. You can visit: to get more information. Jacek Iwanski.

I have recently installed OS 9.1 on my G3-Bronze powerbook, and on my first new launch of Eudora, it asked me if I wanted to use a Keychain to store all my passwords. I clicked "no". Dolp! Now I can't find out where to set the option to use my keychain. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance --Jeremy ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 06:46:13 +0300 From: Giorgio Bulgarelli To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: HP DeskWriter 600 I am unable to use a HP DeskWriter 600 printer connected to my PB G3/233.

I can duly select the printer with the "Chooser" but nothing happens when I select "Page Setup " and, especially, "Print ." The version of the DW 600 Series drivers I'm using is 9.4.1 and the system is Mac OS 9.0.4. Does anybody have any useful suggestion? Giorgio Bulgarelli, Asmara, Eritrea -- Dr Giorgio Bulgarelli Lt.
