- You can't do it with the current Fetch though it's up to Jim Matthews to
- reprogram it if he wants to.
-
- You didn't specify which Gopher client you're running but it doesn't
- matter. Most gopher servers won't give the clients any information about
- modification times of the files or directories on the server. So no changes
- on the Macintosh clinet side will fix this. There exist patches to the Unix
- server which will give modification times of the files (our does) but the
- formatting is not standardizes and thus, not programmable.
-
- This is really up to the gopher folks at Univ. of Minnesota to decide.
