Here are two different kinds of ways

1. Read the �Decoding Guide for Netscape 4.x Users� at
�� http://www.yenc32.com/n4users.php

�� Download yenc32.exe from http://www.yenc32.com/download.php


2. Install and use a �local proxy� add-on like yDecode or yProxy,
�� which converts yEnc to UUEnc (which Netscape 4 does understand).

�� � http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YDecode
�� � http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YProxy

�� � http://www.ydecode.com/
�� � http://www.yproxy.com/


FYI I no longer have Netscape 4.x installed.
