The pre version 'G' of the upcoming Binary Newsreader (BNR) release 1.20 is
available at http://www.dataline.ch/~rch/bnr120g.zip
The Binary Newsreader (BNR) is designed for easy downloading and decoding
single- and multipart binary files which are UUE- or BASE64 (Mime format)
encoded from Internet newsgroups. BNR receives, connects and decodes the posts
from a newsgroup and delivers ready-to-use binary files.
EXACTLY! It's made for all these alt.binaries... newsgroups.
- True 32-bit application, designed for OS/2 Warp V3 and V4
- Uses OS/2 features like multithreading, drag/drop, object oriented execution
- User-friendly configuration notebook
- BNR recognizes and connects multipart files! You don't have to connect posts
that are made of more than one part. BNR does this for you!
- BNR is multithreaded! The receiver job queue has it's own TCP/IP connection!
You can switch to another newsgroup while you are still receiving and
de coding articles from the previous newsgroup.
- Filter feature (get articles containing JPG, GIF, ZIP etc)
- BNR is SOCKSified. You can access your news server through a SOCKS firewall.
- You can even write your own scripts to automate downloading processes.
- ...and much more...
