GopherApp is an Internet information service program for
Macintosh computers. It provides a Finder-like link to the range
of Internet Gopher services.
GopherApp is being written by Don Gilbert, using the MacApp
extensible Macintosh programming framework from Apple Computer.
It is actually a subset of a biosequence analysis program
called SeqApp.
To use GopherApp, your Mac must have a network connection to the
Internet, and it must have MacTCP installed and operating (as
with NCSA Telnet, Eudora, network news and similar MacTCP-based
Internet programs). You can also use GopherApp over telephone lines
when MacTCP has a SLIP interface and you dial-up to a Serial Line IP
server.
You may obtain GopherApp thru anonymous ftp to ftp.bio.indiana.edu, in
folder /util/gopher, as gopherapp.hqx. You may also obtain updates
using Gopher to this same IUBio archive (host=ftp.bio.indiana.edu,
port=70). Look for a folder called "IUBio Software+Data/GopherApp".
GopherApp.Help is a plain text file which may be read from your favorite
wordprocessor. If you have problems getting GopherApp to launch,
please read GopherApp.Help. GopherApp should work on all Mac models from
Mac+, with System 7 and System 6 software.
Programmers with MPW Pascal and C and MacApp 2.x libraries may
obtain source for GopherApp as "gopherapp-src.hqx" next to the
GopherApp application above.
Comments, bug reports and suggestions for new features
may be addressed via e-mail to
