Installer fixes Eudora for Macintosh campus directory lookups

   When the campus directory was updated in early July 2007, this
partly 'broke' people lookups using Eudora for Macintosh. Most
notably, the Department field was missing from search results; there
were also a few other anomalies.

   You can now run a standalone installer that updates Eudora for
Macintosh versions 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 to resolve this issue. You can
download it from:

https://webfiles.berkeley.edu/aron/public_html/eudora-update-caldir-search.zip

   After running this installer, the results from performing directory
searches (via Eudora's "Window" menu, "Directory Services" option)
should look, more or less, like the example below.

   Please send any feedback or problem reports to me.

Thanks,

P.S. This installer has been ready for distribution since early July.
However, some SNAFUs within our organization and subsequent
uncertainties over the unsupported status of Eudora delayed its
release until now. You have my sincere apologies for this delay, and
here's hoping this still proves useful to someone.
