Terrible idea. No undo in the editor, can get stuck sending copy after
copy of a news post, and if you cancel it when it does get stuck, it
segfaults. And yes, I'm referring to the current version.

I still use the version known as the "latest stable" release, 0.14.2.91
0.133 and 0.134 are known as "beta" versions. Those latest are quite
different.
That said, the only Windows-based software I have on my, um, non-Windows
PC is 40tude Dialog, running in Wine. It is a great newsreader (and does
all binaries with ease).

Slyck's site is a good resource for usenet binaries.

His first 3 choices reflect the weight he gives to indexing.

An install procedure any more complicated than right-click, save as,
run, and use is a point against your suggestion, Shagnasty.

check out xpn at:
http://xpn.altervista.org/index-en.html
Looks like it's graphical for Windolts, but got all the serious
features like scorefile, colors, etc. Requires python, but there's
links for that, too. I've got it on an ubuntu flashdrive, but have
not used it, yet. Let us know how it works out.

What people do with a text newsreader is a completely different thing
than what they do with a binary usenet agent. That seems to me to
deserve a completely different application and shouldn't even be
confused with each other.
There is also a lot of difference between what some people like to do
with html in their mail and what other people eschew about html in mail
and news -- but it seems that quite a number of people straddle that
mail/news html/text division.
Straddling mail/news html/text agents with binaries, indexing/.nzb, par
and par2, combining, decoding and repairing, is just way too much
straddling IMO.

Huh? http://www.40tude.com/dialog/download.htm
Right-click on the download link, Save As..., double-click, and it
installs. What could be more complicated than that?
The points about replacing the dialog.exe file with a later version is
just a patch. I'm sorry you couldn't understand that; it seemed so
simple.
It is still a great newsreader - otherwise I'd be using Pan every day.

Among other things, doing that and then replacing one of the installed

There is also the difference between those who are 'serious' binary
downloaders and those who just want to get something binary from groups
every once in a while.
A person could 'get by' with OE and YProxy if they didn't need indexing,
but just the ability to combine and decode yEncoded multiparts.
A person could email html and plain text newsgroups with Tbird if they
didn't need scoring, regex, or wildcards for filters, but they couldn't
combine for decoding.

While I have no plans to give up Xnews for some text groups and light
binaries, I use News File Grabber for larger binary groups. It's not
free but it works very well in Windows.

Using it as a binary XOR encryption key, maybe, but obviously not as a

You must be confused. That's an *older* version than I tried, so,
presumably, worse.

No, you are the confused.
Not only in this particular message, but what I see you writing to Dan C
and BTS.
Stop presuming and just do as suggested, or get off the road.
BP
I haven't used Pan for a while and have forgotten versions numbers. But
the (then) later version introduced problems and lost functionality of the
prior version. The solution, then, was to used the older version.
My long term solution was to go with Dialog.

Henderson
What does your classic erroneous presupposition have to do with
newsreader software, nonbob? Windows Vista, for example, is a vast
improvement over the crummy Windows 3.11 for Workgroups I used long ago.
Kurt Steinhauser
The older version that has been alluded to has been abandoned for
sometime now. The "newer" version is actually a complete re-write of
the application using C+ IIRC. The current version as has all since the
demise of ver 0.14.2.91 lacks granular scoring and perhaps some other
features. This lack of scoring has been a sore point for many people.
Perhaps the scoring will someday be addressed by the guys that have
effectively taken over the development of the application. I for one am
not holding my breath, and as you can see am still using Xnews.

Well, Mrs. Danforth, the older version of Pan is the stable one.

Why downgrade to a much inferior newsreader?
IMHO, newsreaders come in two categories, Xnews and Sucks!
I've never found Xnews wanting for binary downloading and I've done a
LOT of it (no longer, my ISP dropped it's newsserver and I'm too cheap
to pay for one!) but you can easily obtain a seperate program for
binaries, there have been some good suggestions here.

I tried Grabit and didn't like it for one reason: it treated each
server separately instead of combining all configured servers for a
given group into one feed. So if I have 3 servers configured for this
group, I have to download all posts for this group 3 times with no way
to remove duplicate posts from each server. It is like having 3
separate news readers installed, one for each server.
I prefer how Forte Agent handles multiple servers: there is only one
folder per group, and all servers are used to populate that group. So
I see one list of posts from all the servers combined with duplicates
from the different servers merged together (I don't see this post 3
times from the 3 different servers, I see it 1 time with the MID from
each server listed as where it is available).
I hope this makes sense. If there is a way to do the kind of
multi-server combination in Grabit that I see in Forte Agent, I would
appreciate knowing what I did wrong in my configuration.

I do have a sister with that name, but it doesn't mean the one Yetto was

The original should have been "gr*pp*ng l**n".
Try an OR with "**e**i** *oo*". Why that was necessary will
become apparent.
That will reciprocate the obfuscation in order to eschew the
ambiguity.

Well, at first I didn't notice the first l, so I read it as you
disobfuscated it, but when I noticed that l I thought I had been wrong,
but of course, I was wrong when I thought I was wrong.
Hence I just couldn't get a grep on your meaning at that time. I mean I
didn't gresp what you meant. In short, I stumbled.
Now I think I follow your meaning :-)
