README for HGOPHER (Hampson's Gopher)
A Gopher Client For Windows 3.1 Version 2.4
Welcome
This is a Gopher+ Client for windows 3.1.
Send comments or problems on this product to m.hampson@ic.ac.uk
For information on winsock consult alt.winsock
For information on gopher consult comp.infosystems.gopher
For information on PC NFS consult com.protocols.nfs
HGopher now has online help. Please read the on line help section
called "read this first" at least.
If you are a 2.3 user read the section "What's new in Version 2.4" to
discover the bug fixes and enhencements.
Requirements
WINSOCK VERSION
* MS Windows 3.1 (not tested with Windows 3.0)
Or Windows NT.
* Winsock DLL and TCP/IP+Packet support layer.
* See later for a list of Winsock tested versions.
PC NFS VERSION
* MS Windows 3.1 (not tested with Windows 3.0)
* PC NFS Version 4 or version 5 (may work with other versions)
NOTE: you can also use the Winsock version with PC NFS 5.0
and I suggest you do, as support for the native PC NFS
version may be withdrawn at some point.
Installation
Available for ANON FTP from lister.cc.ic.ac.uk
Change to directory pub/wingopher and collect one of the files
hgopher2.4.zip [Winsock Version] (Binary mode required)
hngopher2.4.zip [Sun PC NFS Version] (Binary mode required)
Unzip the package you have chosen to get
hgopher.exe / hngopher.exe Gopher program
hgopher.hlp Online help
hgcso.exe / hngcso.exe CSO Viewer
hgopher.ini All the defaults
default.gbm Some book marks
readme.txt This file
Install these files in a directory of you choice. You should
make this the working directory when you run HGopher from
program manager.
If you have an existing 2.2/2.3 hgopher.ini in your windows directory
HGopher 2.4 will use that. Else it will use the one in the working
directory. Old Version 1.0 and 1.1 ini files will cause HGopher 2.4
a major stress attack - get rid of them.
You should also be able to get this product
from the following archives
sunsite.unc.edu:<somewhere> (Probably a day or two delay)
microdyne.com:/pub/winsock/apps ( or look in incoming)
boombox.micro.umn.edu:/pub/gopher/Windows (or via their Gopher)
ftp.york.ac.uk:<somewhere>
But make sure that you are getting the new 2.4 version (ie hgopher2.4.zip)
You can also get HGopher from the "HGopher Information Centre", here's the
bookmark
#
Type=1
Host=gopher.ic.ac.uk
Port=71
Path=1/HGopher Information
#
# Note the port - 71 NOT 70.
Troubleshooting
WINSOCK VERSION
The first time you start it hgopher may not be able to
connect to a server or will probably connect to the wrong
server
Use the Options menu to config it as follows
Gopher Options
Set the name and path of your favorite gopher server
Select a directory for temp files that already exists
Hit the save button to save these setting between sessions
Hit the OK button to use these setting now
use "go home" from the command menu to get the main menu
from your default gopher.
Network setup
Set whether you are using DNS or the Vendor look up
service - If your vendor supports DNS lookup themselves
I suggest you use their service as the inbuilt DNS has
been shown not to work on some (most) Winsock versions.
If you are using the Winsock version with PC NFS you must
use the inbuilt DNS as Sun have not only not bothered to
implement DNS support but their own NIS does not function
with their Winsock either (at least at the release level
I have).
If using the inbuilt DNS remember to use IP addresses and
not host names.
WINSOCK USERS PLEASE NOTE - The file WINSOCK.DLL is required by this
program - if you don't have that file you are not running winsock.
WINSOCK.DLL does not come with HGopher, it is part of the network
package you are using. WINSOCK.DLL are NOT interchangable you must
use the correct one for your network stack. Public domain/ Shareware
WINSOCK stacks are beginning to appear - tune to alt.winsock to stay
in touch with what is going on in this field.
PC NFS VERSION
Make sure at least RTM is loaded before you start Windows
The first time you start it hngopher may not be able to
connect to a server or will probably connect to the wrong
server
Use the Options menu to config it as follows
Gopher Options
Set the name and path of your favorite gopher server
Select a directory for temp files that already exists
Hit the save button to save these setting between sessions
Hit the OK button to use these setting now
use "go home" from the command menu to get the main menu
from your default gopher.
Network setup
Set whether you are using DNS or the Vendor name lookup
- with Sun this is NIS - DNS is better.
Add up to 3 local DNS servers and your local domain
Hit OK. Remember to use IP addresses not hostnames.
Usage
For further usage information please read the online manual.
If you have any problems read the "read this first" section
of the manual.
Winsock implementations tested against
HGopher should work with any winsock complaint software. Previous versions
are known to work with the following.
Lanera - Verified to work
Distinct - Verified to work
Netmange - Believed to work
PC NFS 5.0 - Verified to work
PCTCP 2.11 - Verified to work
PCTCP 2.2 - Verified to work - However if you get a message
like PCTCPAPI052: get_kernel_info: Bad net_dope
structure 0x1ae01197, try getting a newer version
of their winsoc dll via ANON ftp
vax.ftp.com:/pub/winsockapi/FTPSoftware/winsock.dll.
SuperTcp 3.56 - Verified to work
Windows NT - Verified to work under Beta version
Wintrumpet Socket version 1.00 alpha #12 Verified to work
