What's New?

Is there something missing from this site? Tell me about it.

WHY 1.5
"Windows Helper for Yarn" has been updated. WHY is a Windows 9x GUI shell for the Yarn off-line mail / news reader package. Many bugs fixed and enhancements, and a new web page too.
WIN32

YFUT 1.2
"Yarn Follow-Up Tracker" allows tracking of follow-ups to your own articles by looking for high scores (created by the program itself).
DOS

*Fri, August 7, 1998*	*Utils*
Yarn Who 2.0
Allows the user to write quick and dirty comments about Usenet users (from inside Yarn) to remember who they are.
DOS

*Fri, August 7, 1998*	*Utils*
Yarn Spam 1.11
Facilitates a Yarn-users fight against spam. Finds headers and builds a complaint.
DOS

*Fri, August 7, 1998*	*Utils*
YURL 1.12
A little nifty tool for picking out URLs in articles and mails. Meant for the newsreader Yarn, but it can be used along with anything capable of piping articles to external DOS programs. (Also available is a "Blind" version for visually impared users.)
DOS

*Fri, August 7, 1998*	http://www.faqs.org/faqs/off-line-readers/
We are still alive! And mentioned in one of the Off-Line Readers faq's. A link has been added to them anyhow on the Links page.

*Wed, February 18, 1998*	*En/Decoders*
Souplk (MIME/Quote-Printable/Charsets)
A utility used for decoding MIME encoding in headers as well as quoted-printable message bodies. It also serves as a charset translator, but at the moment only for Polish national chars. Not even a day old, and already an update! Woohoo! (showing me the total inadequacy of the layout of this "what's new" page as well!)
OS/2 & DOS

http://www.vex.net/~x/yirx/

Grand opening of YIRX, at long last. The old Bells/2 site is officially retired.

This new site, however, still needs work, and some software info/links need to be updated/added. If you can help by reporting any old bad links, or software that has not been added yet to the page, but should be here, please do do do do.
