- GopherApp is an Internet information service program for
- Macintosh computers. It provides a Finder-like link to the range
- of Internet Gopher services.
-
- GopherApp is being written by Don Gilbert, using the MacApp
- extensible Macintosh programming framework from Apple Computer.
- It is actually a subset of a biosequence analysis program
- called SeqApp.
-
- To use GopherApp, your Mac must have a network connection to the
- Internet, and it must have MacTCP installed and operating (as
- with NCSA Telnet, Eudora, network news and similar MacTCP-based
- Internet programs). You can also use GopherApp over telephone lines
- when MacTCP has a SLIP interface and you dial-up to a Serial Line IP
- server.
-
- You may obtain GopherApp thru anonymous ftp to ftp.bio.indiana.edu, in
- folder /util/gopher, as gopherapp.hqx. You may also obtain updates
- using Gopher to this same IUBio archive (host=ftp.bio.indiana.edu,
- port=70). Look for a folder called "IUBio Software+Data/GopherApp".
-
- GopherApp.Help is a plain text file which may be read from your favorite
- wordprocessor. If you have problems getting GopherApp to launch,
- please read GopherApp.Help. GopherApp works on all Mac models from
- Mac+, with System 7 and System 6 software.
-
- Programmers with MPW Pascal and C and MacApp 2.x libraries may
- obtain source for GopherApp as "gopherapp-src.hqx" next to the
- GopherApp application above.
-
- Comments, bug reports and suggestions for new features
- may be addressed via e-mail to

- Software@Bio.Indiana.Edu
