AmigaNOSGW6.LZH is Graham Walter's version of AmigaNOS (TCP/IP for Amiga), modified to make use of extra external client programs. Graham has also developed the Gopher (external) client program that requires THIS version of AmigaNOS.

With the use of AmigaGuide (which IS required and is NOT included) and the requisite support files (from John Heaton's archive), this provides Commodore Amiga users with a very nice GUI based Gopher client (along with other asundry TCP/IP functions).

I have added a few comment files to the original archive from Graham, as well as a few extra "Bookmarks".

Comments on the Gopher client and/or AmigaNOSGW should be directed to:

agopher@gwalter.demon.co.uk

The original archive (I have NOT changed his programs) is available from:

newgate.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.68)

AmigaNOS (v2.9n) is John Heaton's version of AmigaNOS which does NOT support external clients, hence - no Gopher, but has evolved to include some extra/different control functions than Graham's (Graham's, however, has an ARexx port).

John's archive includes ALL of the files that BOTH his version AND Graham's version require to run (Graham's version does NOT include any of these files), so, you will need to get John's archive as well. Make SURE that if you keep/use BOTH AmigaNOS programs, that Graham's is named AmigaNOSGW and all references to it (eg; default of just AmigaNOS) are also, likewise changed.

Comments on AmigaNOS should be directed to John Heaton at:

John_Heaton@nessie.mcc.ac.uk

John's archive is available via anonymous FTP from:

dir.mcc.ac.uk (130.88.200.4)

Comments about THIS archive should be directed to me. Also, I will be willing to answer questions about either of these packages or about TCP/IP on Amiga's in general. Note, however, that I canNOT tell you who to contact to get access to the Internet (in case this file reaches you by some other means).

You may contact "me", Jim Dutton, at: jimd@slip106.termserv.siu.edu.
