The trick is that the Esoteric Settings plug-in needs to be put into the "Eudora Stuff" folder. I assumed that since it was a plug-in, that it was supposed to be in the "Extra Plugins" folder. Silly me. Once that plug-in was in the Eudora Stuff folder, I could go into settings, and go to the "Really Miscellaneous" section, and uncheck the smart paste option.

It's a simple but yet powerful tool for planning any kind of project, though it's most useful for small projects. The 1.3 to 1.3.2 releases corrects the following bugs (and adds some new features too): + Corrected a bug related to exporting project as a picture. + Also corrected a bug that messed up the team member menu when click-and-hold in the responsible column. + Corrected a bug sometimes causign a crash during save operations. + Also corrected bugs causing write to address 0 (which people with EvenBetterBusError installed noticed). + Corrected a bug related to selecting columns to be shown. Could cause the computer to hang. + Added a feature to automatically resize the window if it was to large for the screen being used. + It is now possible to make time schedules back to 1904 as opposed to previous versions where it was impossible to set a start date prior to 1987. + Added possibility to change the font and size of the font. (These options can be found in the Schedule menu.) + Added possibility to change the row height (which is kind of necessary when you can change to larger fonts). The row heights cannot be changed individually but all rows must have the same height. + Added support for the forward delete key. + Now the columns can be reordered by drag-and-drop (only exception is the row number column). + Corrected a bug in the calendar dialog, where time was displayed as tenths of hours instead of hours, when selecting a field. + Name of summaries can now be displayed in the Gantt chart just like ordinary activity names by option-click on the activity (or summary) with the select tool. + And corrected lots of other major and minor bugs.

So, connecting the two machines with a SCSI cable will most probably damage one or both of the computers. The only computers you can connect to another computer are Powerbooks, but they need a special cable / adapter so that they start in SCSI disk mode. Since you don't have a Powerbook, this is not an option for you. You definitely _need_ a network connection if you want to access one computer from the other. Or, you are stuck with exchanging floppies/Zip-disks/CDs/whatever. > Some of my PC friends say >that it can be done on their platforms, but I wonder about Macs. Definitely not. You can connect 2 PCs via a serial cable or a parallel cable and through some software "see" one disk on the other PC, but you can't do this connecting 2 PCs using a SCSI cable. However, WHY don't you want to use a network connection? You just need 2 computers with a 10base-T (= RJ45) connector and a crossed Ethernet cable (or a hub and 2 "straight" Ethernet cables). Software is all built into the OS since at least version 7.x. Maybe you need to look for a (used) Ethernet card cor the IIci, say on eBay or so. Should be cheap.

I have a usb to scsi adapter, and I know that it has worked with >my scsi zip drive (although, I still have problems transfering large >audio files-scsi is just too fast for usb). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That doesn't make sense. Yes, SCSI is faster than USB, but it's the job of the USB->SCSI adapter to mediate this. If the USB->SCSI adapter is falling down during large file transfers, then it is broken and needs to be fixed or replaced. SCSI is faster than an ethernet network, as well, but if my computer cannot read data from a SCSI disk and push it to another computer through the slower network connection, that doesn't mean that SCSI is too fast for ethernet. It means something is broken. >Basically I'd like to be >able to work on either computers, but every now and then, transfer some >files from the IIci to the Imac (or vice-versa). I don't want to get >into using some sort of network between both But that's exactly what you want to do. Here are your options: 1. Get some removable storage device that works on both platforms. For example, leave your SCSI zip attached to the IIci and buy a native USB zip drive for the iMac. Transfer files that way. That'll cost $100. 2. Get a different USB->SCSI adapter that doesn't choke on large files. That seems like a major failing of the one you have. Once you have a USB->SCSI adapter that works, continue with your existing zip drive. Those seem to cost $60 or so. 3. Set up a small network. You'll need a NuBus ethernet card for your IIci [looks like the high end on ebay is $10] and a crossover ethernet cable [about $10 at any computer store].* Install the ethernet card and its software, plug in the cable, and use file sharing to access the hard drive on the other machine. Voila. 4. Use an internet drive like an iDisk to transfer files. Assuming both machines can get to the internet, this method is free but really slow. There's no way to connect the two machines via SCSI. >Some of my PC friends say that it can be done on their platforms They'd have essentially the same options: sharing physical removable storage, networking, internet. *More detail: My personal suggestion would be two standard ethernet cables and a hub. I think crossover cables are more trouble than they are worth. A hub will run you as little as $20, and with the hub you don't have to worry about restartign the machines with the cables plugged in or rebooting several times before you get the two machines to see each other over the ethernet and so on as you sometimes [often? it varies] have to do with a crossover cable. With a hub, you plug the two machines in, switch the AppleTalk connection to "Ethernet" and you're ready to go without doing anything else. chazl -- Some nights I still sleep on the beach ...

My observations: If you want the full functionality, your choices seem to be MS Project for Windows under Virtual PC ($499) or MicroPlanner ($699) (http://www.microplanning.com/mpi/) which claims more functionality than MS Project and runs native on the Mac. These products are priced for serious business use. AEC FastTrack Scheduler (and its related product Details) lacks PERT charting, price: $299. There is also a product named HyperProject ($149) which includes PERT charting. I downloaded the demo version.
