- Free Agent

I just searched Google and only find latest FA as a large install.
Is there a link to an earler, smaller FA that is no-setup?

This is optional, you can choose to use only the free version right
from the start (first time you run it after install), or you can opt
for the 30 day trial first.
One thing I noticed with FA, after just having installed it for a
friend (not using FA my self, but Agent) is that when you click/select
options that are only found in the full version - FA respond with a
NAG dialog/reminder about this feature only available in full version
- do you want to purchase it - or continue using the free
version...(or something like that). Simple example, clicking the
Subject column header to sort by subject (not available in free
version). Very annoying. FA would not have received my vote had I
noticed this behavior earlier.
All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

Thanks, Terry. The link seems to be in German (?) so I used the other
one from John. My old Netscape does fine on long Url's.
BTW, I looked up some saved info, and PowerGrab also handles binaries,
and is an executable. Jason liked it. I'll look at it. yEnc32 installs.
Where I can, I prefer executables. And of course, Xnews is another
possibility, although there I remember playing with the ini file.

Look into yProxy from www.brawnylads.com - much better way to handle
yEnc than yEnc32. yProxy translates yEnc on the fly so FA never sees
yEnc only UUE. Works flawlessly on my Win98, trivial to setup.

I'm thrashing an Fprot issue, then will get Power Grab working. It sees
the binaries newsgroups, but I have to get it to scan a ng and browse to
a selected binary.

Hi Mike,
I still am a fan. Guess you might have visited ;
http://clients.net2000.com.au/~johnf/fagent eh ? :-)
It didn't take me long to work out however that Agent was even better,
and worth the paltry sum being asked for it. One of the few payware
internet programs I now have.
Regards, John.

It doesn't even need that registry entry. I think that is just to
allow it to be default news client. I installed it at home and then
copied the install folder to a USB Jump drive. Agent is currently
running from the removable drive and has never been installed on this
computer at all.

I didn't get a chance to look at it again, but this is what I expect to
be able to do:
Browse to a newsgroup, browse the postings, select a binary, and
download it. Like in any newareader, except this can d/l binaries.

Thanks, John.
I just wish it was nosetup, then I would try it now.
Being an install, I will evaluate my needs more before I run it. Still,
my old Netscape 4.79 newsreader works fine.
