ANNOUNCING THE AVAILABILITY OF HGOPHER
WITH WINSOCK
A Gopher Client For Windows 3.1 Version Beta 1.0
The Windows 3.1 PC NFS Gopher client that I recently announced
(about two weeks ago) has now been converted to run using a
WINSOCK compatible DLL.
As the product seems to be fairly stable I have moved from an
alpha release to the first Beta release.
Some bugs have been fixed since the Alpha version.
In addition I have change the name of the product since just "gopher"
seemed a little too generic. For want of anything better its now
called Hampson's Gopher or just plain HGOPHER.
To all the people who helped me Alpha test the Winsock version
a BIG THANK YOU. And to all the people who asked to be Alpha
testers - I am sorry if I did not get back to you personally
but there were quite a lot of you and I was busy sorting out the
problems the first Alpha testers found.
