- Hello,
-
- I just uploaded WSGopher 1.1 to several archive sites, including:
-
- dewey.tis.inel.gov:pub/wsgopher
- boombox.micro.umn.edu:pub/gopher/Windows
- sunsite.unc.edu:pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps
- ftp.demon.co.uk:pub/ibmpc/winsock/apps/wsgpoher
-
- Well, in the first case I uploaded to that directory; in the other cases, I
- uploaded to the appropriate "incoming" directory and asked the admin for
- assistance.
-
- What is it?
-
- WSGopher is a Gopher+ client program for Microsoft Windows and WinSock
- version 1.1. The fact that WinSock and WSGopher both have the same version
- number is a coincidence.
-
- What do you need to run it?
-
- * 386 compatible or better; if there is enough interest I will provide a
- 286 binary
- * WinSock 1.1, already installed and running; I suggest the latest version
- from your vendor
- * plenty of RAM; you'll probably want a minimum of 8BM, 16MB for comfort
- * the program and files require 630KB of disk, but for downloaded files you
- will probably need much more
- * Microsoft Windows or Windows for Workgroups; WSGopher does not work with
- NT, though I haven't tried Chicago yet. I hope to have an NT binary soon.
-
- What is included?
-
- * the program file
- * three configuration files
- * an announcement file that contains lots and lots of information,
- including installation instructions
- * a context sensitive help file
-
- What's new?
-
- Lots of stuff; read the file "announce.txt". WSGopher 1.1 has convenience
- features, features to help network sys admins and Gopher server admins, more
- robustness, pretty much better everything. I even have stuff in there
- which will (hopefully) be supported by the new Unix Gopher server, version
- 2.1.
-
- What are the terms for using it?
-
- Good question:
-
- WSGopher is copyrighted software. You may freely use any and all of
- the files in the WSGopher distribution, and you may freely
- distribute the file wsg-11.exe. You cannot remove or alter the
- copyright notice. Also, you may not distribute for profit the
- WSGopher executable or the file wsg-11.exe without permission from

- non-exclusive source license, please contact Steve Borror, email
- swb@inel.gov, phone (208) 526-3883, or mail me at gopher@tis.inel.gov.
-
- That means that you can use it, you can copy it for your friends,
- customers, co-workers, students, spouse, etc; you cannot resell it. If you
- are writing a book or distributing a CD and wish to include it for free, or
- if you wish to license WSGopher, please contact Steven Borror as described
- above.
-
- What else?
-
- If you have any technical questions or experience any problems with the
- software, please read the announce.txt file and/or consult the on-line
- help; if you are still stuck, then please write gopher@tis.inel.gov. The
- annouce.txt file contains instructions for reporting problems. Supplying
- the information I ask for will help get your problem resolved much more
- quickly.
