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.
A long time ago (early '90s) I wrote a csh script (yes, I know
csh scripts are evil, you don't need to remind me) to uuencode a
binary and chop it into newsgroup-sized chunks with appropriate
names. It doesn't actually post, it just leaves you with the postable
files. But if you'd have any interest I'll dig for it, I may still
have it around somewhere.
Thanks for the offer.
Actually last night I was playing with newspost and as a CLI, it works
quite well. It will split the file and create RAR archive files using
the flags. It will also post multiple files in a directory. There
are a number of flags that provide some decent options. It needs to
be updated in some aspects but those are minor issues. At least it
works for what I want. Now to get the graphical front-end to work.
There are also many perl options available. Maybe a chance to learn perl.
