Can you identify this radio? - "Unknown Radio.jpg" 336.4 KBytes yEnc

It shouldn't be hard to find software which decodes it effortlessly. I use MT-Newswatcher on a Macintosh but could use a number of other newsreaders and decode yEnc with no problem. Given that there is so much more software available for PCs, there shouldn't be any difficulty finding a newsreader that will decode it. Forte Agent probably does. Dave I have often wondered why. Why would someone post in yEnc, when only a small percentage of people can view the image. Why not post in GIF or in JPG when EVERYONE can view it. No, I am not interested in reading all the comparisons of the good and evil of yEnc. I am just a simple person, with simple wants and needs. Not interested in looking for software, download it and running it so that I too can view yEnc. I neither like it nor do I dislike it. I just don't use it. I hope that this post will NOT start any flame wars. Regards Reed |

You would think that someone looking for HELP on an issue would make it the most easily available possible, fer cryin' out loud. But no, in order to help the OP, WE should go and find and install something. Seems strange to me... Buck |

I hope that this post will NOT start any flame wars. Let's hope not! You still get GIFs and JPGs in yEnc. The image compression format (JPG or GIF) is the same when yEnc is used. Currently UUEncode is the scheme used to encode and transmit most JPGs and GIFs over the Internet. Apparently using yEnc instead of UUEncode results in significantly smaller files being sent over the Internet. That's all that I know about it. Smaller files can be a big advantage to people with slower Internet connections. I have no idea what percentage of images are sent via yEnc. Dave |
