Asar Corporation
Rochester, NY. April 30, 2004.
Asar today announced the immediate availability of Hogwasher 4, a Usenet
Newsreader and Email client for the Mac. Hogwasher works natively with OS X
as well as with OS 9 and handles all common encodings including yEnc.
Multi-Account Article Assembly
------------------------------
Hogwasher 4 is a breakthrough product, setting a new standard for Mac
Newsreaders. It is the first Mac Newsreader to offer Multi-Account Article
Assembly.
"Many customers are forced to subscribe to a Premium News Service because of
the poor quality of their regular ISP's News Server" said Kurt Spaker,
President of Asar. "Hogwasher seamlessly combines several News Servers into
one 'virtual server'. As a result, Hogwasher can pay for itself many times
over in NSP download charges by only accessing the Premium NSP when an
article is unavailable from their regular ISP."
Multi-pane User Interface
-------------------------
In another breakthrough development, Hogwasher now supports an optional
"multi-pane" interface. "With Microsoft having abandoned support for the
popular Outlook Express on the Mac, many orphaned users are looking for a
replacement", said Steve Cunningham, Vice President of Marketing for Asar.
"One of the most common requests we have had is to support the multi-pane
interface that these users prefer. This has now been incorporated into
Hogwasher 4."
Improved Speed and Robustness
-----------------------------
Hogwasher 4 includes a completely rewritten database engine resulting in a
significant speed increase as well as a rock-solid internal database
structure.
Extensive Online Documentation
------------------------------
The Hogwasher documentation has been completely rewritten and is now
available directly via the "Help" menu. It includes over 160 pages of
tutorials, examples, tips, hints, and reference material in Apple's Help
format.
Protection from the MP3Concept Trojan when Downloading
------------------------------------------------------
In response to this recently uncovered threat, Hogwasher generates a warning
when extracting BinHex files of type application with an inappropriate file
suffix.
Other Significant Enhancements
-------------------------------
Other significant enhancements in Hogwasher 4 include: an enhanced Email
Client; List-Serve Threading; more powerful Filtering; built-in
Spell-checking; enhanced Archives; In-Line image display; support for
X-Faces; and a "Snippit" feature for frequently typed items.
These are just the highlights of the many new features and improvements in
Hogwasher 4. For a complete list please visit
