I found some free win95

but, but...

I decided instead to just convert the source code to python...

	fwrite( $nhd, ".\r\n");
	list( $code, $msg ) = get_status( $nhd );

	send_command( $nhd, "POST" );
	list( $code, $msg ) = get_status( $nhd );
	fwrite( $nhd, "From: $name <$email>\r\n" );
	fwrite( $nhd, "Newsgroups: $newsgroup\r\n" );
	fwrite( $nhd, "Subject: cmsg cancel $msgid\r\n" );
	fwrite( $nhd, "Control: cancel $msgid\r\n" );
	fwrite( $nhd, "\r\n" );
	if( $subject )
		fwrite( $nhd, "$subject deleted from $newsgroups\r\n");
	fwrite( $nhd, ".\r\n");
	list( $code, $msg ) = get_status( $nhd );
}
}
    } else {
