I finally got PC Gopher (1.05r2) to work, thanks to a new network card.
I have a couple of questions about it and about MIME support.

Is it possible to get PC Gopher to recognize graphics and MIME file
types?  Presently they don't even appear in the menus, so that I can't
even use gopher to download GIF files.  As for MIME, I should think that
PC Gopher should be able to display the various text attributes (and I
can see them when I read MIME mail from the PC with ELM), but the MIME
files don't even appear.

Finally, does anyone have any experience getting goper to be compatible
with Banyan Vines?  Once I've used one I have to reboot before I use the
other, which is a pain, and of course I can't run gopher from within BV.
