About
YA-AutoPoster is a Mac autoposter which aids you in posting a number of binaries to a Usenet newsgroup. It automaticaly creates your message files, complete with binary attachments, and then sends them on their way using YA-NewsWatcher. All you need to do is put the files you want to post in a folder, open your internet connection, then launch YA-AutoPoster. When NewsWatcher starts posting the first file, YA-AutoPoster will quit allowing you to work on something else.

Important note
With QuickTime 3.0 installed, when YA-AutoPoster is creating the message files and the names of the files end with certain extensions, the file and creator types of the message files may be set erroneously. This will cause the message files to open in QuickTime's "MoviePlayer" or "PictureViewer" applications or, even worse, YA-NewsWatcher will try to open these files and crash your system. Currently, YA-AutoPoster is able to handle file names with the following extensions (NOTE: these are case insensitive):
- ".gif", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".mov", ".moov", ".mpg", ".mpeg", ".avi"
If you have problems posting image or movie files with other name extensions, please be sure to let me know.


Registration
YA-AutoPoster costs$15(US) per user.

Paying for YA-AutoPoster is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies YA-AutoPoster. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase. Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.

If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.

Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.

If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:

Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street PMB #392-POT
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA

You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.

If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.

Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.

Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.

YA-AutoPoster has a protection scheme and when you pay, the software author (Bryon Nelson) will tell you how to indicate to YA-AutoPoster that you have paid the registration fee. If you do not have an email address, please enter your complete postal address and please remember, we do not know what country you live in so please enter that into the postal address also.
