4. Encoding Files

1. Click the Encode button.
2. Select the files you want to encode.
3. Under "Output Folder", click "..." and choose a folder to save the yEncoded files into.
4. If your files are large, you may want to break them up into smaller parts before you post them to newsgroups. To do so, check "Limit size of yEncoded files", and enter a file size; 512KB to 1MB is usually good.
5. 5. Click OK. yEnc32 will encode your files and report the status of each one.

5. Decoding Files

1. Click the Decode button.
2. Select the files, INCLUDING ALL PARTS, that you want to decode.
3. Under "Output Folder", click "..." and choose a folder to save the decoded files into.
4. yEnc32 should automatically put the files in the correct order. If they appear to be in the correct order, skip to step 5. However, if you know for sure that they're out of order, un-check "Auto-Sort file list", and use the Up & Down buttons to rearrange the files.
5. Click OK. yEnc32 will decode your files and report the status of each one.

1. Click the Prefs button.
2. Click the News Server tab.
3. For NNTP Server, enter your news server's hostname (i.e., news.yourisp.com)
4. Port should almost always be set to 119.
5. If your server requires authorization, check My server requires me to login, then enter your Username. Enter your Password if you want yEnc32 to remember it, otherwise it will prompt you for it every time you connect.
6. Under User Information, enter the Name and E-mail address you want to appear on every message you post.
7. Next, click the Newsgroups tab.
8. Click the Add button. yEnc32 will now download a list of newsgroups from your news server.
9. Select the groups you want, then click Subscribe.
10. Click OK.

1. Click the Encode button.
2. Select the files you want to encode, then click Open.
3. Click the circle next to Post to newsgroup instead of Save to folder.
4. Select the newsgroup you want to post to from the dropdown list.
5. If your files are large, you may want to break them up into smaller parts before you post them to newsgroups. To do so, check Limit size of yEncoded files, and enter a file size; 512KB to 1MB is usually good.
6. Click OK. yEnc32 will now ask you for descriptions ("Subject" lines) for each of the files you chose to encode.
7. For Left side text, enter the text you want to appear at the beginning of the Subject line.
8. For Right side text, enter the text you want to appear at the end of the Subject line. If this sounds confusing, just try it - under Subject Line Preview, yEnc32 always shows you a preview of what your finished subject line will look like.
9. Click the File: dropdown box, and choose the next file in the list (if any). Repeat steps 6-8 to enter descriptions for each file in the list.
10. Click OK.
