[Pan-users] BNews encoding

[DevilKin-ML]

Hello,

At my local newsserver many people use a specific encoding for binaries, 
called b-news. One could compare it with yEnc, but different (as all 
encodingstyles differ).

I was able to download binaries encoded with this with Pan 0.11.4, and decode 
them with a seperate decoder.

Any later version fails to download: it shows that the body is being 
downloaded, it shows 'decoding' but no file appears.

It's rather annoying that I have to stick with pan 0.11.4 for regular use, 
since I do frequent some binary groups as well as a lot of text groups.

The decoder and other information concering this encoding can be found at 
http://www.iguana.be/~stef/

As I'm not a very proficient C coder, could someone look into this? 

Thanks!

Jan
