For someone who's rather computer inept (i.e. me!) please can you tell me
what a "yenc" file is and what I need as an add-on to outlook express or as
a stand-alone to read it. Also, when files are split up like that,
presumably as a limitation on the size of posting, how do I "stitch" them
back together again?

Ta, Steve

Look for a usenet binary decoder programme that handles yenc and PAR
files on Windows, I use nget on linux, I have no idea what exists for
windows.

basically you need a good newsreader that lets you download files. The files
on usenet are usually accompanied by par or sfv files which check the
downloaded files for accuracy. Download all the required files, place them
into a folder, double-click on the par file to check accuracy then use
winrar to extract to a complete file (usually a pdf file which can be read
with acrobat)
Required programs for downloading files are

A good newsreader - i use giganews for provision and newsrover for reading
the news
yenc is for posting files to usenet
quickpar is to create par files
winrar will extract the files
winzip will also extract files

there are a few other utils but the above list is the basic requirements to
handle downloaded files

if you do a google or yahoo search for downloading usenet files this will
help too

Thanks. I now know four times what I knew six hours ago. :)

Question from another ineptee (me!) How do I find the relevant posts
when my newreader balks at downloading 56,000-odd headers?

Do em 300 or 500 at a time you can specify how many when you set up the
reader I struggled like a **at trying to get IE with a plug in to assemble
and decode the Y-enc. MOzilla wouldn't either in the end I installed Forte
Agent which breezed through them and loads a heck of a lot quicker into the
bargain tends to prove what various folk have said about IE.
Thanks to Wolfie for the heads up on the posting just in time to treat Kato
to a spot of remedial miggin' which is presently cooling down

Thanks Derek,

I fear that I may have shot myself in at least one foot as, getting fed
up, I 'downloaded x and marked the rest read' and now cannot see
anything related to welding ;-(

Was that Free Forte or non-free?

I installed the 30 day trial full version did you try the find facility
just put in welding as the key word and it picks it up no problem . I'm
having a busy weekend of downloads I found yet another version of RAVE
online covering Discos and now P38a then a french RRC WSM I'll archive the
lot soon never know what comes in handy .

on 56000, i've seen me downloading over 4,000,000 tags when i subscribed to
a new group, had a good old time sorting it out too. Basically you download
the newest 5000 or so, or do as Derek suggested and search for the word
"welding" sometimes this won't work as posters make names which are rolled
up into one i.e. newhaynesweldingmanual etc etc. When you have all the
associated files in one folder, use the program "WinRAR" to extract them to
the required pdf file. Usually with WinRAR installed, you just right-click
on any rar file and scroll down to "extract" and it will do its job. Any
probs, let me know. Hey Derek, if you read this and you can only download a
couple of CD's over the weekend, isn't it about time to put another candle
under the steam-powered broadband connection generator and raise the
pressure a little...:) you might get a few more kilobytes per day
downloaded then hehehe

Heehee got an acetylene torch cooking it mate doesn't do any good if the
other end is running on coal though, jeez an hour and a half for 520Mb for
the RAVE I can move satellites in less time. It did give me time to catch
up on my sleep though I'm trawling the web looking for new caches of Landy
related info to save what I will do in a little while is post a list of
sites that offer free downloads for the group its a pity Mother is likely to
be offline as he might find some to add to his extensive library, get well
soon Martyn.
