- Subject: Announcing VMS Gopher V1.1 Client (Beta release)
- Date: 22 Dec 1992 18:04:16 GMT
- Organization: University of Saskatchewan
- Lines: 58
- Distribution: world
- Message-ID: <1h7lb0INNpe2@access.usask.ca>
- NNTP-Posting-Host: jester.usask.ca
- Originator: fogel@jester.usask.ca
-
- We have just placed the first (beta) release of the VMS gopher V1.1 client
- software in the /pub/gopher/incoming directory on boombox.micro.umn.edu,
- in the file gopher1.1v.tar.Z.
-
- This VMS gopher client was ported from the Unix gopher V1.1 client by
- JQ Johnson <jqj@phloem.uoregon.edu> and Earl Fogel <fogel@jester.usask.ca>.
- 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
-
- Please let us know if you find other problems, or if you fix any of
- these ones.
