Nope.

CarbonLib wont be with anything for 8.1; it was created later. You should
just be able to find CarbonLib by itself.

So it sounds like Eudora has been working for you, but on another machine
running a different version of the OS. A Performa 575 is a, shall we say,
rather old machine (is it even PPC?)

Running Eudora and CarbonLib on this old of a machine is risky at best.
Using a newer machine or a newer OS would be highly recommended. If the
OS for the 575 upgradeable?

Good luck,
