- No, it needs AmigaNOSGW. That version has a (partial) BSD socket interface
- available via an Amiga message port, and hence can support totally external
- clients, which is what my gopher is. AmigaNOSGW is available from
- newgate.demon.co.uk:/pub/amiga. The version there has been sucessfully
- ftp'd by several people.

-
- It wants a directory called slip:spool/gopher, which should contain the
- Bookmarks and Startup files from the distribution.
-
- > Where is there documentation on Amiga Gopher ? What are the setup requirements ??
-
- I'm afraid the (small amount of) documentation got separated from
- the distribution file - basically, I uploaded it late at night :-/
-
- The fundamentals are:
-
- Create directories called slip:Clients and slip:spool/gopher
-
- Unpack Gopher into slip:clients
-
- Unpack Startup and Bookmarks into slip:spool/gopher
-
- Start gopher from the cli, or by issuing the command CLIENT GOPHER
- from Amiganos.
-
- The bookmarks file gives you a set of starting points. It can be
- amended using an editor.
-
- Hope that gives you enough to get started.
-
- BTW I expect to produce a new version reasonably soon - the current one
- is essentially a prototype, but it seems to have spread...
-
- Cheers Graham
