-
- A Gopher Client For Windows 3.1 Version 2.4
-
-
- Welcome
-
- This is a Gopher+ Client for windows 3.1.
-

- For information on gopher consult comp.infosystems.gopher
- For information on PC NFS consult com.protocols.nfs
-
- HGopher now has online help. Please read the on line help section
- called "read this first" at least.
-
- If you are a 2.3 user read the section "What's new in Version 2.4" to
- discover the bug fixes and enhencements.
-
-
- Requirements
-
- WINSOCK VERSION
-
- * MS Windows 3.1 (not tested with Windows 3.0)
- Or Windows NT.
- * Winsock DLL and TCP/IP+Packet support layer.
- * See later for a list of Winsock tested versions.
-
- PC NFS VERSION
-
- * MS Windows 3.1 (not tested with Windows 3.0)
- * PC NFS Version 4 or version 5 (may work with other versions)
- NOTE: you can also use the Winsock version with PC NFS 5.0
- and I suggest you do, as support for the native PC NFS
- version may be withdrawn at some point.
-
-
- Installation
-
- Available for ANON FTP from lister.cc.ic.ac.uk
-
- Change to directory pub/wingopher and collect one of the files
-
- hgopher2.4.zip [Winsock Version] (Binary mode required)
- hngopher2.4.zip [Sun PC NFS Version] (Binary mode required)
-
-
- Unzip the package you have chosen to get
- hgopher.exe / hngopher.exe Gopher program
- hgopher.hlp Online help
- hgcso.exe / hngcso.exe CSO Viewer
- hgopher.ini All the defaults
- default.gbm Some book marks
- readme.txt This file
-
-
- Install these files in a directory of you choice. You should
- make this the working directory when you run HGopher from
- program manager.
-
- If you have an existing 2.2/2.3 hgopher.ini in your windows directory
- HGopher 2.4 will use that. Else it will use the one in the working
- directory. Old Version 1.0 and 1.1 ini files will cause HGopher 2.4
- a major stress attack - get rid of them.
-
- You should also be able to get this product
- from the following archives
-
- sunsite.unc.edu:<somewhere> (Probably a day or two delay)
- microdyne.com:/pub/winsock/apps ( or look in incoming)
- boombox.micro.umn.edu:/pub/gopher/Windows (or via their Gopher)
- ftp.york.ac.uk:<somewhere>
-
- But make sure that you are getting the new 2.4 version (ie hgopher2.4.zip)
-
- You can also get HGopher from the "HGopher Information Centre", here's the
- bookmark
-
- #
- Type=1
- Host=gopher.ic.ac.uk
- Port=71
- Path=1/HGopher Information
- #
- # Note the port - 71 NOT 70.
-
-
- Troubleshooting
-
- WINSOCK VERSION
-
- The first time you start it hgopher may not be able to
- connect to a server or will probably connect to the wrong
- server
- Use the Options menu to config it as follows
-
- Gopher Options
-
- Set the name and path of your favorite gopher server
-
- Select a directory for temp files that already exists
-
- Hit the save button to save these setting between sessions
- Hit the OK button to use these setting now
-
- use "go home" from the command menu to get the main menu
- from your default gopher.
-
- Network setup
-
- Set whether you are using DNS or the Vendor look up
- service - If your vendor supports DNS lookup themselves
- I suggest you use their service as the inbuilt DNS has
- been shown not to work on some (most) Winsock versions.
-
- If you are using the Winsock version with PC NFS you must
- use the inbuilt DNS as Sun have not only not bothered to
- implement DNS support but their own NIS does not function
- with their Winsock either (at least at the release level
- I have).
-
- If using the inbuilt DNS remember to use IP addresses and
- not host names.
-
- WINSOCK USERS PLEASE NOTE - The file WINSOCK.DLL is required by this
- program - if you don't have that file you are not running winsock.
- WINSOCK.DLL does not come with HGopher, it is part of the network
- package you are using. WINSOCK.DLL are NOT interchangable you must
- use the correct one for your network stack. Public domain/ Shareware
- WINSOCK stacks are beginning to appear - tune to alt.winsock to stay
- in touch with what is going on in this field.
-
-
- PC NFS VERSION
-
- Make sure at least RTM is loaded before you start Windows
-
- The first time you start it hngopher may not be able to
- connect to a server or will probably connect to the wrong
- server
- Use the Options menu to config it as follows
-
- Gopher Options
-
- Set the name and path of your favorite gopher server
-
- Select a directory for temp files that already exists
-
- Hit the save button to save these setting between sessions
- Hit the OK button to use these setting now
-
- use "go home" from the command menu to get the main menu
- from your default gopher.
-
- Network setup
-
- Set whether you are using DNS or the Vendor name lookup
- - with Sun this is NIS - DNS is better.
- Add up to 3 local DNS servers and your local domain
- Hit OK. Remember to use IP addresses not hostnames.
-
-
- Usage
-
- For further usage information please read the online manual.
- If you have any problems read the "read this first" section
- of the manual.
