- I myself have written a news reader in VB. It was very interesting experiences
- in learning VB and Winsock.
- I have some suggestions for you.
- 1. get WinVN source code to see how it was wriiten.
- 2. manually telnet to a news server on port 119 to experiment with the commands.
- 3. get some VB codes on Winsock at ftp.netmange.com.
- 4. I was able to write straight VB codes without using other people's winsock.vbx. If you wouldn't mind using winsock.vbx, it will save you time in
- winsock stuffs but you will have to miss all the fun.
- 5. I had fun because I did not know (1) and (3) until recently.

-
- The Reflections series of terminal emulators are fully Winsock compliant
- (as of version 4.1). They are commercial though ...
-
- Reflections 2 is a VT emulator, 4 does HP (I think).
