To: os2ann.DISCUSS@bloom-picayune.MIT.EDU Date: 24 Mar 1998 12:07:00 -0500 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) Version 1.30 is 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 1.30 contains a few minor enhancements and some performance improvements (compared to V1.29): - Faster access to BNR INI-Files: BNR comes up and exits much faster. This performance improvement also applies to the 'mark single article' feature. - The functions of the 'Entry' pulldown menu of the receiver queue are available as a popup menu using the second mouse button. - Changed font 'Helvetica' to 'Helv' for better visibility. - Fix: The master group file sometimes didn't list all available top level groups - BNR automatically subscribes to the newsgroup when entering a new group name manually in the main window rather than using the newsgroup manager window. This also added the newsgroup immediately to the dropdown list of the main window. - A new option 'select all' on the 'Find and select' window (Ctrl+C) allows to select all currently shown article headers. This function can also be accessed through 'Select all' of the 'Action' pulldown menu or even directly using the F5 key. You can get the Binary Newsreader V1.30 from the following address: http://www.horgen.net/rem/software/ (don't forget the trailing slash of the above address) 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...
