    I purchased Cocoa NewsPost after having difficulties with the available AppleScript based applications that I am aware of, Hermes, Osiris and Ibis. I have used Osiris sucessfully in the past, but recently it has been posting a random number of posts before stopping and complaining that I did not love it.

    Cocoa NewsPost will post your binary files to usenet, but the quality leaves much to be desired. For example, it will download a list of usenet groups so you can select the groups to post to, but doesn't sort them. All 6500 or so groups are displayed in random order. If you drag folder of files into the posting list it fails. If you drag a selection of files into the posting list it posts them in random order. There is no option to display file size in the subject line, which is common in usenet posts. Compared to what is available on Windows, this is an embarassment for Macintosh users.

    I believe I paid $25 for Thoth, an amazing piece of software. I paid $20 for Cocoa NewsPost. If you need it buy it, but don't expect to be impressed.

    Cocoa NewsPost CommentaryReal changes or improvements? - Version: 1.6, 8/27/2005 08:56AM PST

    I think not. PARs working with JigSaw? So what. The PAR files I get bear no resemblance to what is typically found on usenet. The methods to set them up are nothing like Split and Concat or MacPar which is what most people use.

    This application does post, but that's all it really does. Other functions are better left to other applications.

    Cocoa NewsPost ReviewDoes NOT do exactly ... - Version: 1.4.1, 6/27/2005 07:10PM PST

    How can you say it does "exactly?" The PAR thing is totally hosed. And then there's the inelegant way of naming the sfv and par files based on the first item's name. We should be given the option to name. Can't be all that hard for a $20 app. MacPAR and MacSFV do so and don't cost a penny. Even if all I cared about was posting whatever files I already had, there's the inelegant inabilty to have any flexibility over how files are numbered. We are stuck with File # of #. Hell, we all know they're files. I may go back to POWER-POST.

    I begrudgingly do still recommend CNP as an alternative.
