Heya...

        Ok, that's what I get for being in a hurry, I guess... but I feel 
embarrassed anyway.  I began to post a fun file in one of my favorite 
newsgroups, then realized that Pan's posting of split binaries (you 
know, ReallyBigFile.part01.rar...) is not automated.  I searched 
Freshmeat, found "newspost", and grumbled as I found its web site 
unreachable.  I still wanted to do the post, so I figured I'd do it by 
hand... ten minutes of pointing and clicking later, I put Pan to 
"Online" (didn't want to hit my download cap while preparing the 
upload) and watched as 25 tiny articles marked "(1 of 1)" spewed forth.

        Oops.  It was like loudly passing wind in a room full of nuns.  :-p

        It's probably my fault for (1) being in a hurry, trying to get this 
done before work, (2) using yEnc, (3) having spaces in the filename, or 
(4) all of the above.  (Bug/enhancement reports will hit Bugzilla this 
evening.  :)

        Anyway, I figure some of y'all must have done this before, so I should 
ask what you use.  Basically I want something I can tell, "Post all 
files in ~/upload/ to alt.binaries.thingamajigs", and walk away.  Any 
recommendations if newspost is obsolete or unavailable?  Anything I 
should avoid like the plague?

Thank you all,
