gc: a Gopher client for Panda TOPS-20 |
|
|
|
|
|
The Panda TOPS-20 system runs on a Linux PC using the KLH20 |
|
emulator. I enjoy using it and thought it's time for it have |
|
its own Gopher client! 'gc' is written in the C programming |
|
language and built using the KCC compiler included in the Panda |
|
TOPS-20 distribution. "gc.c" is the C source code file and |
|
instructions for building and running gc are found in README.TXT. |
|
Enjoy browsing Gopherspace on Panda TOPS-20! License is GPLv3. |

|
|
Version 1.01 28Nov2024 - Fix bugs causing save of menu items |
|
to a disk file to fail ("sN" command). |
|
|
|
Version 1.02 30Sep2025 - Fix bug causing erroneous "item type 'i' |
|
cannot be displayed!" errors in some menus. Removed unnecessary |
|
delay to speed up response data transfers. |
|
|
|
Version 1.03 01Oct2025 - Increased size of the command line |
|
input buffer to allow entry of longer selectors when invoking |
|
the 'g' command. Max selector length is now 128 characters. |
|
|
|
Version 1.04 20Oct2025 - Add "history list" feature. This is a |
|
gopher menu stored in a disk file containing a list of the most |
|
recently visited links. This feature is available when the program |
|
is invoked with the "-l" option. The most recently visited link |
|
appears at the top; duplicates are removed when a link is added. |
|
You can follow any link in the history list to visit it again. |
|
Also - maximum menu size is increased to 9999 items and the |
|
"Auto kill" feature is improved. When following a link evicts the |
|
oldest page from the history buffer to make room for the new page, |
|
the associated cache file is deleted to conserve disk space. Now, |
|
if a favorites or history list file specified by the user doesn't |
|
exist, it is created automatically. |
|
|
|
Version 1.05 26Oct2025 - Fix bug causing TCP connection failure |
|
error when going "back" from the first page loaded in cases |
|
where gc was started without the "-m" or "-g" switches. |
