Software Update: Forte Agent 1.9.1

phaedrus informed us that a new version of Forte Agent is available for download. Forte Agent is a USENET news reader. Version 1.9.1 includes the following improvements:

[yEnc]

• Agent provides support for yEnc, a new encoding algorithm that reduces the size of binary attachments and saves bandwidth. Smaller binaries saves you time and money — especially if you subscribe to a premium news service.
• Agent provides full support for both encoding and decoding of yEnc binaries.
• Mark worked closely Juergen Helbing, the developer of yEnc. Juergen is now a member of the Agent Beta Team.

[Enhancements]

• We rearranged the Help menu to provide more direct access to the online help Contents, Index, and Find choices.
• We also added a Post Support Question option, so that it’s easier to find. Finally, we added an option to go directly to our web site for support.

[Bug Fixes]

• Under certain conditions, the Groups and Folders list became corrupted when you added, deleted or renamed a group or folder.
• Sometimes Agent would freeze on startup or while launching URLs, when running with certain versions of Windows and Internet Explorer.
• We fixed a bug that caused Agent to truncate extremely long URLs when launching a web browser.
