Archive-name: sgopher Submitted-by: fuller@aedc-vax.af.mil sgopher 0.3 simple gopher client for inetd/batch/online Platforms: VMS, IRIX, Ultrix, AIX, Solaris 1.x/2.x Complete code distribution, a lot of changes. How do you do a diff and undiff anyway? Thanks to the people who suggested changes (see THANKS). version 0.3 - added support fox Ultrix/Solaris, fixed index handling bug, fixed exit on bad connect, added timeout capability, added = option, K&R C support. version 0.2 - added index support, changes for AIX compile, logging and heading changes for mail, and support for VAX/VMS using Wollongong. I am especially interested if anyone finds any security problems with sgopher or if it is ported to any other platforms. Also, I would like information about the algorithm for uuencoding so that sgopher can mail binary files. I would also be interested in changes for porting it to the PC. It should be fairly straight forward. Please email me (fuller@aedc-vax.af.mil) or post to alt.sources.d. I wrote sgopher so that anybody with a telnet program could run a gopher client. It can be run stand alone or it can be launched from inetd. It doesn't use termcap or curses or any of that other stuff so it should run okay from any terminal/3270/PC/workstation. It does assume a 24x80 screen. It outputs the \r\n pair at the end of line and requires a after each command to support more terminal types. sgopher is not loaded with features like other gopher clients. It was written with simplicity in mind, but it does display a nice menu that indicates the item type. It also figures out where the connection to it is coming from and displays and logs it. In addition it marks visited items with an asterisk. If you pop up from a menu and then go back down to it these marks will be reset. Received text can also be sent via email. All of the source code fits into two files. You don't have to link with any other gopher libraries. sgopher supports three types text, directory, and index. see INSTALL file for installation/build instructions.
