I was trying to parse it as a three-part single-article post, two parts of which are independent binaries, for which PAN already works fine, AFAICT. Upon rereading, I believe you mean single binary (image) posts, with the binary spread across three articles? The ability to view the first part or two of those, without having to download the others, just as PAN can now do with the first part of two-article post binaries, is what you are requesting. I too would find this useful on occasion. I don't believe it's part of GNKSA, but as the current beta and stable releases are two years old and CVS is rather dramatically chanced from the current beta release, filing a feature request based on them, at this point, likely isn't going to be very helpful, and it's anyone's guess when a new beta and ultimately release series will be forthcoming, from what's now the CVS version. Thus, if you'd like to hack on the CVS version, download it and see if your request still applies (I don't run CVS here but haven't seen anything on the group/list indicating a change of that nature). If it does, hack away and consider filing a bug with the patch when done. (Or simply make the request based on the CVS version, altho naturally, it's not as likely to be integrated, if it doesn't come with patch included.) If you prefer to stick with stable/beta mainline releases, you'll almost certainly need to create the patch yourself, but please post it (to devel, not user) when done. It's not likely to be integrated into current CVS as it likely won't apply there, but other users may find it useful. In any case, further discussion should probably be moved to the devel list. I'm a regular on both, but don't do C myself, so can't help you with specifics. However, someone on the devel list may help, if you make the request there. It's certainly worth posting the request, anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
