Acquiring the package:

Download the archive file(s) and extract using SparkPlug 2
(see the "tools_help" file in micros/arch/riscos/tools for further info).


Description:

AutoUUD scans a news file for binaries, and automatically decodes them,
even if they have been split over several messages.  It then takes all
the non binaries and puts them back in your news.  If you subscribe to
any usenet binary groups, like alt.binaries.sounds.mods, then this will
save you all the hassle of saving them out of TTFN. They will be sitting
in a directory waiting for you to just load them into your player.
Works standalone or with Newsbase, and extracts single/multi-part posts
automatically.

Updates on v0.12:
  * faster
  * multitasking
  * doesn't leave the desktop
  * MIME base64 support
  * handles split files much, much better
  * easy installation
  * very easy use
