- Hi,
-
- I posted this a while back, but am told it didn't make it out. Apologies if it
- did actually get to the net, it certainly didn't make it to MIT.

- >This VMS gopher client was ported from the Unix gopher V1.1 client by

- >It works with the UCX, Multinet and Wollongong versions of TCP/IP for VMS.

- >Making the VMS Gopher Client
- >----------------------------
- >
- >Makefiles are provided in the gopher & object directories for those of
- >you with a VMS MAKE utility, and compile.com and link.com files are
- >provided for those who do not.
- >
- >To make the VMS gopher client, edit conf.h to reflect your local environment.
- >
- >If you are using MAKE, edit the makefiles to specify your TCPVERSION (UCX,
- >MULTINET, or WOLLONGONG). Run MAKE in the object directory first, then
- >in the gopher directory.
- >
- >If you are not using MAKE, the TCP version is specified on the
- >compile.com & link.com command lines (eg. "@COMPILE UCX"). Execute the
- >compile.com and link.com procedures in the object directory first, then
- >do the ones in the gopher directory.

- >Known Problems
- >--------------
- >
- > - sounds are not supported on VMS
- > - images are not transfered properly on UCX
- > - interrupts (^C and ^Y) are not handled properly
-
- UCX 2.0 setsockopt routines have a bug, so the code need messing with to make
- it work.
-
- >
- >Please let us know if you find other problems, or if you fix any of
- >these ones.
