Usenet Reader

Hi,
I would like to write a Usenet reader that has
a nice graphical interface and efficient in down-
loading news from the Usenet server.

I have not seen any Visual Basic code to do
this however I think that it is possible as NNTP
commands are sent as text strings. I am
putting together a team as follows:

Project Manager (1):
Initially to get the project going. (Me).

Designer (1):
The designer will work closely with the Project
Manager and will communicate all needs to the
programmers.

Programmer (3):
Programmers to do all work as outlined by the
project manager.

All copyright will belong to the me as this will
prevent programmers from leaving and taking
the code with them.
