- If it displays one image, then the problem is most likely not with
- Xgopher or xv, but that the server is not giving you 'I' type files.
- Xgopher uses type 'I' for image. Some people have installed gif files
- as type 'g'. You can still access these files, less easily, by using
- the "info" button to give you the name/host/path of the image file,
- then use the "Enter Gopher Item" panel (from the "Other Options" menu)
- to request this file, but selecting type 'I'. This will force the
- file to be processed as an image. Now xloadimage or xv may croak if
- the file is REALLY not an image, but that's another problem.
