The people who complain that their tired old excuse for a newsreader will not handle yEnc can either just ignore the yEnc posts or get a real newsreader. Auldphart All you need is agent. Doesn't fit the Beetles words but should be "all you need is love". Free agent, I hear, does yenc without you needing to know anything about it. Anybody tried it to see if it is true? It that is so then there should be no reason to complain, unless somebody just wants to complain for the fun of it. |

Could not find any such bird. |

Forte doesn't offer the free version anymore, but there is an archive site which has the last free version available for download (7.7 MB self-installer). Of course, sinc this download is not from the original company, you'd want to virus-scan it before opening the installation file. Using Forte's trial version for a month is probably the way to go. http://www.archive.org/details/ForteFreeAgent3.3 the page says: "Forte free agent is a popular freeware news reader, no longer available for download on the forte site. version 3.3 is probably the latest free version." Nothing seems to ever go away on the internet, things just get hidden deeper in the net. - Ruth |

I set it up and clicked to use it as free agent. I will explore it further and see what it can do. It is free and it handles all files with no problems. Very nice. Now as I said before "All ya need is Agent" Go get it, set it up and enjoy. |
