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,

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.
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.
UUXFER20.ZIP can be found at the following ftp sites:
address: plaza.aarnet.edu.au
path: /micros/pc/oak/decode

******HOW TO CONVERT ENCODED FILES INTO SELF-RUNNING FILES******
We recommend that you use the shareware program UUXFER20.
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.
