To: os2ann.DISCUSS@bloom-picayune.MIT.EDU Date: 4 May 1997 22:10:51 GMT From: ralf.christen@ibm.net (Ralf Christen) Reply-To: ralf.christen@ibm.net (Ralf Christen) Reply-to: ralf.christen@ibm.net (Ralf Christen) [Followups directed to comp.os.os2.mail-news] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Binary Newsreader (BNR) release 1.25 betas are available NOW! 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 decoding 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... Version 1.25 offers these enhancements (compared to V1.20) - The 'Action' pulldown menu is available as a popup menu (right mouse button) from within the container. - Mark a single article 'as read' without downloading it. - Go to a Web site referenced on an article subject (WWW Gateway). - Send an E-mail to the author of the currently selected article (Mailto Gateway). - Separate TCP/IP connection for every newsserver request. BNR connects and disconnects automatically! No newsserver timeouts anymore ! - Article headers are received using a separate thread (No busy cursor any- more). You can cancel this thread using the ESC key. - Two new options have been added on a 2nd 'Filter' page of the configuration notebook: The first option allows to limit the number of article headers to be received. The second new option allows to specify the minimum number of lines an article must have. Articles headers with a line count less than the value specified are not being displayed. - You can post with your real Mail-ID but without your name - You can use the Web-Browser of your choice (such as Netscape) - A new notebook page 'Logging' offers a set of loggings options when executing BNR scripts. There are 7 more script commands available (END, GOTO, ONERROR, LABEL, MESSAGE, TRACE and FILTER) to add user defined error processing to scripts. You can get the Binary Newsreader V1.25 Betas from the Technical Support Page at: http://www.dataline.ch/~rch/bnr If you have questions or comments, do not hesitate to send me an E-Mail. You can reach me at ralf.christen@ibm.net Happy downloading...
