I just tried a nother news reader, offered by a site that _promotes_
yEnc. Very enthusiastic, these people are. Think yEnc is the bees
knees.

The program is called NewzTools, and is one of the worst I've ever
seen. Can't specify how many headers to download, doesn't fetch the
ISP's newshost's news group list, doesn't sort headers, and - oh, I
don't know what else. I gave up after trying it on
alt.binaries.multimedia.rail. It supposedly d/l 300 headers, but
less than 100 showed on the screen. "Get Older Posts" behaved
erratically, sometimes adding just one header, sometimes added a
dozen or so.

Well, it was free, so I guess it was worth what I paid for it. ;-)

I use Pan http://pan.rebelbase.com/ for multipart binaries and it is
free.



I checked the website, and see it's still a 0.xx release. Thanks for
then info. I might try it when it's gotten to 1.xx.

PS: did you catch the irony in "bees knees"?


Try it now 0.131 works great. Pan 1.0 is very near to release.
