Eudora IC Helper (and DropStrip-urlM)
version 1.0, by Paul Goracke

What it does
------------

With the release of v3.0 of Eudora (Light and Pro), QUALCOMM added a nice
URL-launching feature. But it doesn't work well with Internet Config, a
program I find very useful. Instead, they use internal aliases, which is
fine as long as you only access your Eudora settings on one computer. If
you use it on multiple computers, such as in a lab environment, you will
need to find the appropriate helper the first time you click a URL on a
different machine.

That's where Eudora IC Helper comes in-it's a small standalone app which
creates a Eudora plug-in containing resources which reflect your helper app
choices in Internet Config. It does not modify the Eudora application, and
it does not patch any traps. It's quite transparent, and makes an excellent
Startup Item.

It's not fancy, and doesn't have much in the way of a pretty user
interface, but my goal was to have it small, functional, and as invisible
to my lab users as possible.


Requirements
------------

The enclosed applications require System 7.0 or higher. They are 68k-only,
so they should run on any and all currently existing Macintosh that meets
the system requirement.

If you don't have Eudora 3.0 or higher and/or Internet Config, the programs
will certainly run, but they won't be of much use.
