This directory contains materials developed at Brown University for use
with the Internet Gopher protocol. Brown's Gopher server is still under
construction and only available to onsite use; when finished a notice
will posted as to its address and availability.
CONTENTS:
gnntp1.11.tar.Z This is a simple Gopher-NNTP gateway. Unlike gnews, this
gateway uses the NNTP protocol (rfc 977). See the README
file (within the tar) for more information.
gnntp1.15.tar.Z This is a new version of gnntp that uses INN's XOVER
command to get the article list. This version also
reverses the returned article list (ie new stuff first).
gs.tar.Z This is a prototype Gopher+ server that stores most
gopherspace information in a dbm database.
phq1.9.tar.Z This is a simple Gopher server that interfaces with the
CSO name server (Ph). This server allows the Gopher
client author to not have to understand the CSO protocol;
instead, the client need only understand the Gopher
search protocol. The server can also be used by the
Gopher administrator to construct canned searchs for
their users. See the header comments for further
information and examples.
Sextant1.0.sea.hqx
Sextant is a Macintosh Internet Gopher client. It is
designed for novice Macintosh users and supports only the
most rudimentary Gopher types. However, Sextant should be
suitable for the majority of CWIS needs.
waisload This shell script creates a Gopher directory structure
waisload3 containing all the WAIS sources files kept at
quake.think.com. Since the number of sources now exceeds
200, the sources are organized alphabetically. (Saved
in the wais directory.)
waisfolder This shell and awk script creates a Gopher link file
for a local WAIS database. This link file has a gopher
reference for searching and a reference for each
record in the database. (Saved in the wais directory.)
waisindex-gopher.tar.Z
This is the source code to modify waisindex to use a
gopher item's title (Name=) as the headline.
UsingWaisWithGopher
This is a short document describing how to use Wais with
gopherd. It explains only the most typical disk and
protocol configurations. (Saved in the wais directory).
