1. News Group reader

Hiya all

 I am working on a News Group reader/Email reader. I have no idea what
the handshaking protocols are. I have The Euphoria Winsock Project, Pre
Alpha 0.13. I am sure this will work but im not 100% sure. I have used
sock's in QB4.0 but never in Euphoria. Any help you can give is
welcomed.

Best do some studying before you muck up your mail and news servers.
Here are some hints to get you started:
Mail (pop3) is text based, you can talk to it if you know what to say.

connect to mail.foobar.net port 110
#welcome to the foobar server....

#You have 10 messages ==> this comes from the mail server
>retr 1 <== means send me message #1
# text of message 1 will show up here
>dele 1 <== bye bye message #1
>quit <== be ABSOLUTELY sure you send the quit, or you won't be able to get
your mail for a while (minutes, days, years, I don't know)

mail sever/news server. I was just wandering if anyone had made a
program like this or had any info they could share. Thanx for
