The Binary Newsreader (BNR) Version 1.34 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 1.34 contains a few minor enhancements and some performance
improvements (compared to V1.30):
- Some providers upgraded their newsserver software to a new version which
may deliver groupnames with leading blanks. This may cause a "not in a
newsgroup" error when receiving articles. (1.34)
- Fix: BNR didn't create a mastergroup file after a NEWSRC import (1.33)
- BNR features a new BNRPOST utility program to upload articles with or
without binary attachments to one or more newsgroups on a regular basis
or from a batch file. Read chapter 5.5 of the BNR documentation for a
detailed description of BNRPOST (1.32)
- The dropdown list scrolls automatically when receiving the newsgroup
status and you can't see all subscribed newsgroups at once. (1.31)
- Fix: BNR didn't save the window position and size when leaving (1.31)
