Thank you for installing this special NewsBin Professional Beta!  This is a beta release that does not include an installer.  NewsBin is easy to install manually because it does not require any external support files.

This beta version can be registered and is a free upgrade for registered users of 3.0 or above.  Your current registration key is still valid.

If this is your first time using NewsBin, enjoy your 10 day free trial!

NEW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

If this is a new installation, create a new folder and copy nbpro.exe and groups.lst into it.  Create a shortcut to nbpro.exe or just double-click on nbpro.exe to run NewsBin.

Follow these steps to run NewsBin for the first time:

1) Launch NewsBin Pro
2) Enter your News Server name and a username and password if it is required.  The News Server name will look like "news.yourisp.com" (unless you are on AOL.  Please read AOL info on our web page at http://www.newsbin.com/opennews.htm).
3) Select one or more groups you would like to download pictures or other binaries from.
4) Click the "Go" button.

NewsBin will download everything by default.  If you want to choose what gets downloaded, uncheck the "Automatic Download" option and then manually select the files that you want by clicking on the summary line for each file located in the "Post List" window.  Read the online help file for more details at http://www.newsbin.com/nb33help.htm.

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

If you are upgrading from NewsBin 3.0 or above, copy the nbpro.exe file over your existing
