I'd love to make one of the current Mac clients (or a derivative) Apple
Event aware, but I haven't found any source for Mac clients that isn't
somehow twisted up with MacApp. Does anyony know of some plain vanilla
Think C code for a gopher client?

Usage by port statistics were available from Merit (the folks that run
the NSFnet backbone) for the T1 portion of their backbone (so this only covers 
traffic that goes across the backbone; you won't get any handle on gopher 
traffic that is within a site). The numbers also need to be taken with a grain 
of salt because a lot of the NSFnet backbone is now run over T3 lines. I don't 
think they are collecting statistics for the T3 part of the backbone yet...

Anyway, if you are interested, you can get the numbers via anonymous ftp to 
nis.nsf.net (look in the /statistics/nsfnet/1992 directory for the statisics 
broken out by ports).

As far as I know, we have not kept a history of when we added gophers to the 
list of gopher servers. But a year and a half ago, there was only one site
using gopher. Now there are a lot more... :-)

Summary: Computers often hang when loading packet driver

When using the Crynwr Software/Univ. of Illinois packet driver
software for the ni5210, the computer hangs about 50% of the time
during loading the packet driver.  Only a cold boot will un-hang
it.  Any ideas why?  Is there a new version of the ni5210 packet
driver I should get?  Once it loads successfully, then both the
gopher and microtn CUTCP telnet s/w work fine.

Platform Specifics:
AT 12 MHz and 386/20 both exhibit the same behavior. 

Packet Software Specifics:
Crynwr NI5210 Packet Driver Version 10.2.2
ni5210 0x62 0x5 0x310 0xd000
(Int 5, I/O Port Addr 310, Memory Address d000)

(Due to a screwy HD controller on the AT, the memory address cannot
be c000; likewise, the interrupt must be set to 0x5 to avoid problems
using ftp that cause abort/retry/fail error messages about every
1024 bytes during a transfer.)

Thanks in advance for any leads on what to do to avoid the annoying
hangs!

I have a serious problem with the UNIX gopher client 1.03 (under SunOS 4.1.2):
If document names contain 8-bit characters (e.g. ISO 8859-1) with values
between 160 and 255, then the highest bit will be cleared and the corresponding
7-bit ASCII value appears reverse on the screen.

This is very ugly if you want to use e.g. the German umlauts () in
server directories. Any solutions? The gopher protocol specification
says that the official character set for text objects is ISO Latin 1,
so why isn't this popular character set also supported in document
names?

Do you have an archie client installed on your system, and in a directory
which is on the path used by go4gw? go4gw relies on a local archie client
to interrogate the remote archie server.

In addition, I found the hard way that whichever archie client it was written
for (I'd guess the "original" (?) one that is tied to the prospero file system
distribution), the perl archie client that we've got installed here (*much*
easier to install) isn't compatible with g2archie. It needed changes to the
options, and also to the interpretation of the output (since the format is
different) to make it more-or-less work. I don't have it running "for real"
at present, and can't remember if I fixed everything, or there were residual
problems.

Because I don't have it set up to run as a daemon yet, I can't be sure how
a gopher client would interpret the output g2archie gave when it couldn't find
the archie client (a series of lines with type-code 0, which looked like junk),
but I can believe it claiming nothing was found...

The name isn't so important, but the host is: with the new

Also, a reality check should be done to see that the default font exists

Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 19:23:14 GMT

Hello all,

I have modified the latest PC Gopher II client (version 1.05r3) to support 
TN3270 sessions by faking them as Telnet sessions.  That is, a TN3270 
session calls the same G_TEL enviornment variable as a Telnet session.  This 
is very useful if you use something like CUTCP's TN3270 which supports both 
Telnet Vt-100 and TN3270 emulations.

Note that I have provided these mods for v 1.05r2 and v 1.05r1 of this 
client, so make sure to pick up the most recent ones.  The following files 
are available for anonymous FTP at FTP.UNT.EDU in the pub/gopher/client 
directory:

PCG2_UNT.ZIP (.TXT) - The compiled modified client in the same type of 
distribution as provided by UMN.  No source.

UNTSRC.ZIP (.TXT)   - The modified source code commented by (* Mark 
Thacker *) wherever I made a change.  Read the .TXT file for IMPORTANT 
compilation notes; make sure to declare the DANIEL conditional before 
compiling.

UNT&3270.ZIP (.TXT) - The above client comipled and including CUTCP's TN3270 
plus lots of script files to automate connecting to remote hosts.  Also 
includes a couple of example batch files useful for launching Gopher.  Read 
the .TXT file for more instructions.

As always, thanks to the UMN Gopher team for their assistance with my 
modifications and for making a great client!!  Any questions regarding my 
modifications should be directed to me, but most other source questions 
should be directed to the UMN team.

Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana

I am writing an article about Gopher for our campus networking newsletter 
(University of Illinois at U-C) promoting Gopher as an effective means of
distributing all kinds of information.  We have a main server running on a NeXT
and several departmental servers running on Unix boxes.  Some departments
have neither the money nor the experience to purchase and set up a Unix-based
server.  This afternoon I set up a Gopher server on my Mac and on my 286 PC.
The setup was very easy and I think some departments would be interested in run-
ning their own servers on a Mac or PC.


I'm interested in getting feedback from individuals who have been running a
production PC or Mac server about the relative strengths and weaknesses of the
server application for these platforms.  I do not have the time to rigorously
test the server apps myself, but I would hate to advise an individual or depart-ment to set up a PC or Mac server if it is going to be a maintenance nightmare.
Such servers would probably be used strictly for text-based document distri-
bution, and our main server, which provides many additional services, would link
to them.  

If you've had experience with either the Mac or PC server and would be
willing to share your comments with me, I would be most appreciative.  
Please send your feedback via e-mail to: ward@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

Thanks in advance!

If KERMIT is the name given to the world's most loved communications programme
then I am sure that GOPHER will become equally famous as a tool for cruising
the internet.

Give it time.

A while back I recall seeing statistics on the gopher
port usage of the internet.  Does anyone have documentation
on the usage of port 70 compared to other ports?  I recall
that it was fast becoming one of the most-used channels.

The reason for this request is to try and build some quantifable
statements on the growth of cwis's and gopher.  Also, are there
stats on the number of gopher server last year, 6 months ago,
and 1 month ago, compared to now?

Thanks
