LANChat 1.0

This is a program that demonstrates how to use the winsock control in vb. It uses the TCP protocol to send messages over a LAN. There are two modes: server and client. The sever gets messages from the clients and sends it to all the other clients. This program supports more than one client unlike some examples I have seen before. The server and client are both bundled into one exe. They can be accessed by passing one of two arguments to the program. You can start the program by typing LANChat -Server or LANChat -Client. Two batch files that do this for you are included in the archive.

I plan on adding many more features to this in the future. This is not the final program. I will include a screenshot with the next version when I have more time.
