About Version 1.61 of the OS/2 Gopher Client

This version matches the one made available on the "Developer's
Connection" Volume 3 CD-ROM.


There are many changes to the client from version 1.04; some of the
most significant are:

*  True multithreading in all TCP/IP processing

*  The default representation of a Gopher menu now uses icons; you can
  have multiple windows on screen at once.

*  Mouse Button 2 brings up a popup menu pertaining to the current item
  or the current menu.

*  Printing (though it's NOT multithreaded and is only to LPT1) from the
  viewer window

*  You can specify a viewer program for any Gopher type (see the Options
  notebook)

*  Speed improvements

*  Rexx support to supply the name of a file to be saved or downloaded

*  Lots of fit and finish improvements

There's a complete change log in the GOPHER.CHA file inside the ZIPfile.



What's not in this version?

*  Gopher+ support

*  SOCKS support

*  Better documentation

*  Proper integration of the online help back to the code

*  Proper printing

*  More fit and finish

*  Proper PH (phonebook) support

Stay tuned...
