For those who want to use trn 3.6, here's my hack to provide authentication as trn 3.6a. Instructions for using authentication are in README.authinfo.
NOTE: Linux users must apply this patch after running Configure, but before running make for the trn 3.6a build to work properly.
A patched, stand-alone, authenticating inews is also available.
Both trn and inews have been tried on Linux (as well as SunOS and Solaris)... your mileage may vary.
Happy Newsreading... NM

Binary post decoder unpost-2.34
Very excellent binary autoposter xmitBin. Use this patch to optimize the Makefile for Linux/gcc, and enhance xmitBin's anonymity functions and large, multipart binary posting capability.
