- ftp.cnidr.org pub/NIDR.tools/Gopher/pc/windows/gophbook.zip (soon)
New in this release
- All of it!
Not in this release
- CSO support.
Known Bugs
- The Toolbook list box can't seem to handle more
than 130 lines(?). Therefore, if you turn to a
Gopher page that has more than 125 items, you are
warned that only 125 will be received. Doesn't
seem like you would want Gopher pages with that
many items anyway, ie we lose our simplicity!
- Actually drawing the items on the screen is
SLOW! If you notice, the mouse cursor turns from
a black hole to an hour glass. The hole represents
network activity, the hourglass local activity.
Its interesting to note that most of the time, the
network activity is much faster than the local. Hmmm.
Future Stuff
- More useful bookmarking scheme. Suggestions?
