If I get it all, I'll bung it on a website and post a link.

Out of the eighty-five thousand-odd groups carried by my service do the
words "aviation" and "books" appear in any newsgroup name. So, posting this
anywhere in usenet is going to be a violation of some arbitrary "Do Not"
rule.

The closet applicable group is this one (binaries? Check. pictures? Check.
aviation? Check), where I believe some might actually appreciate knowing
about nearly every detail of the Buff livery.

alt.binaries.e-book.technical might have been an appropriate place.
Many similar aviation books in .pdf format have been posted there.
Nevertheless, thank you for a most interesting book.


Indeed. Posting PARs would also have been helpful.

..............................................

The file in question comes in 248 parts. To access it in MSOE you'd have
to
select all 248 parts, download them, combine them in some way, and then
decode them with one the myriad free .RAR decoders. (I usually use
QuickPAR
on Windows or MaccPAR Deluxe on Macs)

Note that if you use a real newsreader, such as Free Agent or MT-NW, you
can
download all 248 parts with one click. If you insist on using MSOE, you're
going to be working too hard when you try to download multi-segment binary
posts. This is because MSOE was not designed to be a real newsreader and
you
are trying to use it for activities which are beyond its specs. You can
waste
time using MSOE, or you can ignore large binaries, or you can get a real
newsreader. Pick one. It's up to you.



Or all this surreal druggery can be bypassed by simly plonking down a URL
for people to click on and get the file.


Easier (and cheaper!) to post it to USENET as normal, and let those who want
it get it... or not. I see no particular reason to spend _my_ money to make
life easier for others who decline to use free or cheap tools. Free Agent is
free. QuickPAR is free. MT-NW is free. MacPAR Deluxe is free. You can use
'em, or not. It's all the same to me.

And, of course, there is the simple fact that if you _do_ post something with
a URL telling the local denizens where to find your stuff, some people (Hi,
Alan-me-lad! Still haven't reported my 'forged' headers to Newsguy, eh?) will
scream that you're spamming the group, so you end up paying good money to be
slandered. Thanks, but no thanks.

How about giving a blow by blow about how to read the files with
Microsoft
OE, using what free program (totally free, not trial, not pay by using
an advertisers product.

I am fairly smart with a computer, but I could not figure it out in a
reasonable period of time, and gave up. I gotta think there is a
better way.


There may be a reason to depart from the file formats
that have been used here for decades but danged if I can
figure out what it is.

Amen, brother!

I gave up. The B-52 is not all that interesting to me, anyway.

I see that someone doesn't like YENC. How sad. Too bad.
