Hello,
I have searched and checked the major repositories for this but I have
not had any luck.
I want a program to post multipart, rar'd and yenc encoded files to
the alt.binary.* groups. I would prefer a graphical front end but I
have not really found anything that is current.
I did find newspost and I am going to give it a try. It compiled last
night.

There is supposed to be a front end for Gnome and KDE but I could not
get them to compile last night. Their support is so out of date that
they are looking for things in places that don't exist on FC4.
Yea I can use Pine or other manual techniques but these are a real
pain when uploading a 3gig multimedia file.
Thank you.
Please don't do this to me when I am drinking fluids!
I hearken back to the days when use(less)net postings were limited to
32k - text. So I sat here envisioning some poor desperate sod trying
to upload 100,000 messages containing his "multimedia file."
(By the way, this was just mentioned in "Hollywood Reporter" recently.
I just lost it giggling over the concept. Anyway, Hollywood is aware
of the activity. Watch for it to get interesting with regards to
downloaders and the RIAA from Hell.)
