I have a VFP9 dbf of jokes. I'd like a routine that I could add to my VFP scheduler and post 5 or 6 jokes to alt.jokes every night. That would be NNTP port 119, I think.
Thanks

Maybe you could adapt my Telnet client to do what you need.
Go to my website listed in my signature, and scroll down until you find "VFP Telnet Client".

Perhaps CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) would suit your needs

Just what this world needs. A VFP spam generator.

Yep, I can see where it could be used for that. All I want is to post 5 or so jokes/day to alt.jokes. I'm not trying to sell anything.
We have every other sort of spam generator, we have to make sure VFP stays out there as a viable platform too, no?

ROFL!
I suppose so. At least we know it'll be the world's FASTEST spam generator. LOL
