Visual Basic Code & Links
Building VWMUD Master was fun and rewarding, but also a little frustrating. To save you some of that frustration, I've put together a little program to show you how to use socket(),connect(), send() and receive() in Visual Basic - in other words all you need to know to build a TCP/IP program in Visual Basic, without buying using any addons. Just download the zipfile and load the project into VB4 or higher. Change the parameters in cmdChangeParms_click() to match your userid,hostname etc and then run it, or you can just run it and change them on the fly. The program will connect to an SMTP server and send a simple text message.
