- A preliminary version of my NeXT gopher client that can view MIME
- documents is available from:
- panda.uiowa.edu (128.255.40.201)
- /pub/Gopher1.3M.tar.Z
- This is a NeXTstep 3.0 application.
-
- This version of Gopher is based on V 1.3.01 from Jim LeBay with my
- own additions for the MIME component. In this version, the MIME decoder
- is not complete - it was done on rather short notice and currently does
- a minimal set of rich text and images (tiff rather than the standard gif).
- I plan to extend the client to do the complete MIME spec in the near future.
-
- I also have an authoring tool that lets you create documents with the
- customary NeXT drag-and-drop paradigm. This and the Gopher client will
- be released in source form when completed.
-
- You can find some example MIME gopher documents on the University of
- Iowa's gopher server panda.uiowa.edu port 8337. Look in the following
- directories:
- University of Iowa Information/Museum of Art
- University of Iowa Information/Radiology
-
- Also, I've got a grant from Apple to port this to the Mac, so I should
- have a Mac client with MIME support early next year.
-
- Feedback would be appreicated...
