I have attempted to compile this myself using devx.sfs and following the instructions in the readme file, but it fails to work for me

It seems simple enough ie ... make install

If anyone can offer some assistance I would be appreciative

Here's some info:

Introduction
Newspost is a usenet binary autoposter for Unix. It is meant to be an all-in-one posting solution. Using newspost, it is a one command job to encode and post as many files as you like to your favorite newsgroup.

In addition to posting files, Newspost will automatically create and post .sfv checksum files. Newspost 2.0 can create .par parity volumes, and supports both yencoding and uuencoding.

Support for .sfv files comes from cksfv. The uuencoding code is based on some of the GNU Project's code. The code for creating parity volumes comes from parchive v1.1. Good thing everything is licensed under the GPL!

I use this binary from an old debian release

Thanks Dingo

Just to let others know, if you extract the zipped file, I put it into

/usr/bin

and then opened it up in terminal to run the application.
