Hi,
this code contains an own coded class with which you
can read the output from a dos-box!
you can type an order in a textbox (let's say:
ping 1.2.3.4) and click at the command-button.
then the output from this command is typed
in the second multiline textbox!
much fun ;-)

the code is excellent except for one MAJOR PROBLEM. When you export the project (release), the .exe cannot access console. It works well only when you test it from within VB's workspace. Try exporting it (release) and running it from there...it wont ping ;( (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
