I've written an open source program to read the World of WarCraft news, that apears on the left side of the login screen.
Requires:
- VB6 Runtimes
- RichTextBox
- Winsock
- VB6 to Compile
This also shows:
- How to write a halfass stringbuffer
- How to request a page of HTML
Thanks to:
- The guys who wrote Ethereal
- Grok, for DebugOutput (used in the early stages of parser writing, no longer present)
EXE and Source Code Included

You should note that this was tested when news was there to be read. If none is present on the server, you will be likely to recieve a subscript out of error RTE, where I'm working with my splits in the parsing procedure.
