A New VF-1 Client 11/11/24
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was quite excited to read that there were some updates to the gopher
client VF-1 recently![1]. If you don't use VF-1 to browse gopher, you
should, and you may download and read about it here:

gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space:70/1/~solderpunk/vf-1
I have 0.0.12 installed and am looking forward to 1.0.0. I was just
thinking this morning that software should be stable, it should arrive
at a destination, instead of the current status quo of forever being
in progress and forever being updated. I like that VF-1 doesn't change
much, and that is approaching an even more stable place.
Something solderpunk mentioned was that "Any self-respecting piece of
Gopher-related software clearly ought to have a dedicated presence in
Gopherspace." I certainly agree. That said, I have a piece of gopher
software that doesn't have a ton of self respect. It's my DOS client
"NC Gopher" (Jan stole the name, but I had it first... however, I
doubt Jan ever noticed my DOS client with its very limited appeal and
distribution!). I think I need to get that uploaded on my gopher hole
here, in case anyone else has a really old system they want to browse
well on. It is loosely based on the utility of VF-1.
Thanks for all the fun times solderpunk!
