INEWS DAILY IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH E-MAIL
FREE TRIAL
International News E-Wire Service (INEWS) is an English
language daily, covering news of the world. INEWS provides
up-to-date and accurate world news. It also includes many
features covering such topics as economics, science, medicine,
technology, agriculture, and music.
Every day, INEWS gathers reports filed by correspondents
stationed at 26 news bureaus throughout the world. INEWS relates
first-hand coverage of stories from news bureaus in Abidjan,
Bangkok, Beijing, Berlin, Bonn, Cairo, Chicago, Geneva, Hong
Kong, Islamabad, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles,
Miami, Moscow, Nairobi, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Prague, Rio
de Janeiro, San Jose, Tokyo, Vienna, and Washington, D.C.
Daily INEWS service is available for less than $4.00 a month.
Delivered through E-mail in one of two versions, plain text or
a DOS/VGA version. The DOS/VGA version is sent either through
E-mail, encoded, or through file transfer on America Online. The
encoded version is not available through FIDO Net.
What is an encoded file? Most electronic mail systems can't
handle binary files. Binary files are word processor and
spreadsheet data files, and files with a .EXE or .COM extension.
UUENCODE is a file conversion standard. It will change a binary
file into an ASCII file, that can be sent through E-mail. Once
you receive the encoded file(s) through E-mail, you can decode it
to return the file back to its binary form.
Included in this sign-up kit is a self-extracting file,
UUXFER.EXE, which contains the files for the shareware program
UUXFER20. UUXFER20 is the program we recommend for decoding
INEWS encoded files. UUXFER20 is shareware, if you continue to
use it after the 30-day trial period you must register it with
its author. Public domain and freeware UUENCODE
encoding/decoding software are available.
INEWS Daily can be mailed to almost any E-mail address on:
Internet, AppleLink, America Online, AT&T Mail, AT&T EasyLink,
BITNET, CompuServe, DELPHI, FIDO Net, GEnie, MCI Mail,
SprintMail, and many local BBS services.
A free two week trial can be received by sending E-mail
containing E-mail address, name and address to:
INTERNET: INEWS@AOL.COM
AOL: INEWS
Specification should be made as to which version, plain text
or encoded DOS/VGA version, should be sent. The preferred method
of delivery for PC users is through America Online. Subscribers
who do not have an AOL account can receive a free AOL sign up kit
with software and 10 hours of free usage.

******HOW TO CONVERT ENCODED FILES INTO SELF-RUNNING FILES******
We recommend that you use the shareware program UUXFER20. A
self-extracting UUXFER20 package, UUXFER.EXE is included in this
sign up kit. If you receive the following encoded files:
INWS1231.1
INWS1231.2
INWS1231.3
INWS1231.4
INWS1231.5
At the command line of the directory containing the encode
files and UUXFER20 you should type:
UUXFER20 -M -D<FILENAME>
The file name is always the encoded file with the .1
extension. In this case you would enter:
UUXFER20 -M -DINWS1231.1
This would convert the encoded files into the file
INWS1231.EXE, the self-running December 31st edition of INEWS
Daily.
