"Don Pyeatt" wrote in : "G.Kuhn" wrote in message ... My second post on this subject..... Flame suit on :-) WHAT is so flippen difficult in reading/opening yenc files? Yes, I don't particularly like them, but it is SO easy to download and save them in OE, and then decoding with 3rd party software. And this from about six years back already, when I started net surfing. Heck, anything that saves bandwidth in this retard country of mine, is a bonus. Maybe, just maybe, slow down on the ranting and raving, and discreetly ask for help, draws less attention to one's shortcomings, I learnt that the embarrassing way :-) Buffy Hi, Buffy ! Perhaps I can explain the problem to you since you don't seem to be of the same brash ilk as the bombastic group of kids who charged into this group and exiled our most prolific and congenial long-term posters. There is nothing wrong with yEnc. Mr. Noise explained it very well - if a person is a user of many newsgroups and downloads media files, e-books and other large files then something like yEnc is nearly mandatory. On the other hand, this is a still picture group where the file sizes rarely exceed 300KB. A file that size will download with yEnc in about 10 seconds on a DSL connection, around 12 seconds without yEnc. Two seconds may be an eternity for an impetuous youngster but it is totally insignificant in this newsgroup. Step up to cable service and differences in D/L time become almost immeasurable. With that said, the real reason(s) for the regular members here wanting to ban yEnc is that some are TOO OLD to understand how to install ANY kind of software on their computers. Some are (or were, before they bailed) barely able to use email and read this newsgroup. So, should we just tell them to fuddle off or upgrade? I doubt if the invaders would tell their own grandparents to F-off but for some reason they don't hesitate to tell those here to do the same. This is a global group of people who share the same love for aviation photos. The older members have provided a wealth of historical information regarding vintage aircraft, their experiences in various wars, and have been most generous by providing priceless information of a historical nature. Some of these same people are embarrassed to reveal a lack of skill using a computer and will simply leave to avoid the insolence of some snot-nosed kid who tells them to get out of the dark ages and upgrade to *their* standards. This is why a large amount of time was invested here to hammer out a usage guideline that would be agreeable to all regardless of their computer skills. Is this too difficult to understand? gdp In the time you have written the above epistel you could have downloaded, installed and be up and running Xnews TWICE. With fewer keyhits and fewer mouse clicks. This is NOT difficult and if you are not sure how to there are people around here that are very willing to walk you through it. A friend of mine lives on a farm here in the netherlands and is, to his own disgust, still dependant on dial-up connection. On top of that he has up- and down load limits. So for these people (and there are more of them than you can imagine) please keep your posts as small as you can. I know I will. -- Cheers, Bert-Jan Good morning Bert-Jan, Concerns of those much like your dial-up constrained friend have always been accommodated by the regulars in this newsgroup. Every request for a re-post of a smaller version (or a larger version for that matter) of an original posting has been honored. It's only a matter of mutual respect. Thank you for your observations and comments. Don unquote Of course that ain't quite as bad as your repeated hissy fit. d;o) hth Dave |

I don't think so! -- Cheers, Bert-Jan |

Please decribe this system that is allegedly so old that it can't decode yEnc even thought it can decode UU. The hardware requirements are no different, so I suspect your shouted claim hasd no merit. |

Yes you can, you obviouly just don't want to or are not interested enough to inform on how to be able to "decode" yEnc-ed files. Go he http://www.download.com/3000-2164-10144167.html It won't hurt. I promise. -- Cheers, Bert-Jan |

Alright.... I'll give you a serious reply. I'm on a Macintosh....... that's a Macintosh AND NOT A PC. All of the software you talk about does not work on a Macintosh. Furthermore.... I'm operating with OS 8.6 and oldie but goldie OS. As well I am using a newsreader called YA Newswatcher. It won't even see a Yenc file, doesn't know what it is. Over the past three years I have had chats with various people who have steered me into different directions trying to solve this problem and none of them work. I've been told that MT Newswatcher will decode Yenc. But it is not available in a version that will work with my OS. I've been told there are helper applications out there and none of them work with my system. Since there have been numerous upgrades and name changes to the Macintosh OS over the past six years I would have to try to find and install an OS that would allow me to use programs that would handle Yenc. I have no intentions of going out and not just spending money on a new OS but also having to update many dozens of pieces of software at god knows what financial cost just so that I can actually look at just one of your pictures. Just changing the OS would be a massive undertaking and if things got ****ed....... my computer would be ****ed up. Once you start you can't go back. NO THANKS. Now if your so smart that you think that you can solve my problem then have at it McDuff. I would be very grateful if that problem could be solved. VERY GRATEFUL. But with all due respect...... people just as smart as you have tried over the past few years and so far.... no joy. And to any kind soul who might even think of offering advice please don't. I don't need advice...... I need a solution. |
