Hello,

a new version of my gopher client for Linux is available, it's version is 1.0.9c - I would call this a major step forward. It's available on gopher.happy-ent.de.

What's new?

While I was thinking about making gopherc more useable I recognized that I had forgotten something important, support for external viewers. So I started adding extension based (not MIME based) external viewer and external support, see "Viewer/Opener and Pager Support" in the "Client Features" directory.

gopherc let's you now

- define an external program to view so called binary files, e.g. use `antiword' to view doc files.

- view HTML files by your favourite web browser (HTML support will be removed from gopherc).

Furthermore gopherc supports running in console mode and inside an X session. While gopherc is still console based it supports a separate viewer/opener/pager configuration for X. That is you can browse HTML files with lynx/w3m/links in the console and with Netsace/Opera/KDE inside X.

Version 1.0.9c is a quick release. The next release will have the HTML support because it's not longer needed and perhaps other things added.

Regards

Wolfgang Zekoll
