VFPWebCrawler is an open source, multi-threaded Visual Foxpro application that will crawl and retrieve blog pages. It will work with any MSDN blog as is. It could, more than likely, be modified to do any kind of web crawling. The original application was written by Calvin Hsia and posted in his blog with a VFP version and a VB.NET version.
The goal of this project is to keep the VFP version better, faster, and with more features than the VB.NET version.
Source code is included with the setup.
This is a great example of how to use multi-threading in desktop VFP. No configuration required - works after installation.
