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

EDIT -
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.

Hehe, you're welcome.

By the way, for you Linux users, Newby has confirmed this to work just fine in wine.

Islam is a steaming pile of fucking dog shit. Everything about it is flawed, anybody who believes in it is a terrorist, if you disagree with me, then im sorry your wrong.

Why don't you stop being American and start acting like a decent human?
