GopherApp is an Internet information service program for
Macintosh computers.  It provides a Finder-like link to the range
of Internet Gopher services.

GopherApp is being written by Don Gilbert, using the MacApp
extensible Macintosh programming framework from Apple Computer.
It is actually a subset of a biosequence analysis program
called SeqApp.

To use GopherApp, your Mac must have a network connection to the
Internet, and it must have MacTCP installed and operating (as
with NCSA Telnet, Eudora, network news and similar MacTCP-based
Internet programs).

You may obtain GopherApp thru anonymous ftp to ftp.bio.indiana.edu, in
folder /util/gopher, as gopherapp.hqx. You may also obtain updates
using Gopher to this same IUBio archive (host=ftp.bio.indiana.edu,
port=70). Look for a folder called "IUBio Software+Data/GopherApp".

History

29 Sep 92, v 1.3b57  Only change over previous release is addition of
       display of text files with greater than 32,000 characters.  What a simple
       addition, and the Marvels of MacApp/OOP let me fold in this change from
       SeqApp into GopherApp with just one compile.

7 Jul 92, v 1.3b52 Various bug fixes to GopherApp, including
 long paths (>255 char) so now all wais searches should work,
       mapping to mac types extended to Gopher types, so e.g.,
         new gopher types can be incorporated thru user-editable map ('T'->'8' or 'g'->'9'),
               or change default behavior (have '0' text always displayed by favorite text editor),
       binhex transfer is revised, now is a lot FASTER,
       fixed "Save" bug when file openned from finder,
       pref: small icon views enabled,
       pref: disabled edit/new link unless smart user flips switch,
       pref: dropped "same window",
       pref: require user locate diggings folder before attempting to use it,
