Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / June 2008MT Newswatcher - Binary Decoder Helper Apps
I decided to give MTM a run for its money and I am impressed. It is a nice newsreader and for free! One question, it seems the Binary Decoder helper Apps are missing on my system is this relevant? I'm running a Core Duo Imac In article <mailxxx-7C9D4F.14080804062008@surfnet-nl.ipv4.ptr.145.109.196.x.invalid >, > I decided to give MTM a run for its money and I am impressed.

So is the excellent documentation ;) > One question, it seems the Binary Decoder helper Apps are missing on my > system is this relevant? <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/Binaries.html> In short: it depends. MT-NW can decode some formats by itself. You only need external "helper apps" if you prefer those to MT-NW's built-in capabilities, or if you download stuff in formats MT-NW does not know how to decode by itself.

It works ok with Extract Binaries though. Any idea why? I don 't have any examples around now and it is question borne more of curiosity than anything else. It does not really interfere with my work flow.

By trying a new app I'm confusing myself, sorry:-( > > <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/Binaries.html> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Hog</del><ins>MT-NW</ins> won't display in line.

So what QuickTime cannot handle, possibly simply because you don't have a necessary codec installed, MT-NW cannot display.

Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. You'll need to use a real news reader if you want me to see your posts.

(The OP accidentally wrote "The Hog" where he meant MT-NW.) SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!
