YENC is not a great format. Just use jpg like everyone else please. yEnc is an encoding scheme, not a graphics format. It can be used to post any type of binary. It's primary advantage is a reduction in the as-posted size of a file by some 39% over the more common Uuencode. It seems that the most often cited reason for universal hatred of yEnc is that Outhouse Depressed doesn't support it, a rather weak argument at best. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

Maybe 3.9%, but no where near 39%. |

.... Speaking of weak arguements - I have seen examples of the same post in jpg and ynec formats and the 39% doesn't hold water. Maybe 3.9%, but no where near 39%. You are entirely wrong. The spec for yEnc itself quotes the number, I didn't, but since you're obviously so ignorant, try posting the exact same JPEG with Uuencode and with yEnc and see for yourself. The actual size of the binary doesn't change, of course, but almost all of the Uue overhead is eliminated by yEnc resulting in a much smaller as-posted size. Were it not for this fact, why would it have been invented and why would so many people, all far more knowledgeable then you, quote the same reduction? -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

If you would have bothered to read and comprehend my post, you would have read that.I HAVE seen the EXACT post in jpg and yEnc and the savings was insignificant. |

Just post your pictures as is, of course after getting a decent provider who will offer you a broadband connection. To all you yEnc fans: wake up to the 21st century. You don't have to use dial-up connections anymore. I have broadband. Next month I will be connected to a glass-fibre network that is being installed in the whole town I live in, so my connection speed will be even higher. Stop farting around with your stupid encoding end get a useful provider. Regards, Herman |
