Pluckit is a Windows program that automatically searches newsgroups for binary attachments. Supports yEnc and RAR. It downloads (plucks) them from the newsgroup to your hard drive.This program seeks out only the messages having pictures, grabs them, saves them to your hard drive, and then (only if you wish) displays them on your screen! All you have to do is tell Pluckit which groups you are interested in. The rest is automatic.

AnnoTater is a Windows utility that embeds annotations in (not on) picture files (.bmp, .jpg, .gif). You can treat an annotated picture just like any other picture file. It will display normally in most browsers and image viewers. AnnoTater has a search utility that will find picture files containing specified text. Just enter a word or phrase to search for and AnnoTater will find and display them. Annotations can contained embedded hyperlinks.
