pkg-descr

xmitBin allows you to post large binary postings (well, any large posting)
to usenet newsgroups, to someone via e-mail, or both. It will post
intelligently, meaning uuencoding binaries, splitting large files across
multiple postings, and generally making it easier for those reading your
posts to find and decode all pieces of your post, and not getting usenet
site admins mad at you for posting large binaries in one chunk. If you've
ever wanted to post to any of the alt.binaries.* groups, this is the tool
for you!

I have included two shell scripts of my own, "mailbin" and "postbin".
These scripts make it easy to mail and post (respectively) stuff using
a good default set of command line switches.

pkg-message

A couple of notes on this package/port...

* I have included two scripts of my own design, postbin and mailbin.
They allow you to easily mail and post stuff using a fairly generic
(i.e. probably useful for most people) set of options.

* Documentation and sample configuration files are located in
/usr/local/lib/xmitBin/.

* A script, autoSend, has been included. This script is intended to be
run automatically (e.g. by cron(8)). It will allow you to periodically
post stuff on a regular basis. See the "autoSend.txt" documentation
file for more information. The script is located at
/usr/local/lib/xmitBin/autoSend. Each user who wishes to use it
should copy it to a directory where scripts are kept (e.g. $HOME/bin),
and then modify it to suit him/her according to the directions.
