Thousands of free pictures can be downloaded from Usenet newsgroups, but it takes a lot of effort without the right tool. Using Picture Patrol Officer XP, your computer performs this task automatically without requiring much of your time. Picture Patrol Officer XP downloads and decodes almost any picture, whether they are encoded using Base64, UUencoding, or yEnc. No external software is needed to find, download, and view the thousands of free pictures.
