The pan newsreader is very good at handling binaries. Can even filter out incomplete binaries and text articles in newsgroups. It's in the ports collection. trn4 is also a very capable binaries handler, and with the included trnkill script and properly configured killfiles, can even automate the process of fetching binaries from your favorite groups. Also in ports. See also the unrar port for decoding this stuff after you've downloaded. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier <conrads@home.com> Date: 24-Sep-2001 Time: 13:03:36 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
