{{AOL-Files}}

(Originally by AOL-Files staff member Tau)

'''Purpose:'''
This code will add all of the users buddies to a listbox. The code supports multiple categories and lagged connections.

'''Requirements:'''
This code requires a ListBox named List1 and a Command Button named Command1. Both of these names can be modified in the last Sub.

'''System:'''
This code will function on Visual Basic versions 5.0 and 6.0, is to be used with no BAS file, and on America Online versions 4.0 and 5.0
