Announcing PC Gopher III, version 1.10.

---------------------------------
          Added Features
---------------------------------

  * Added support for gopher+: 

       - item attribute information
         You can view that attributes of items on both gopher+ and 
         gopher servers

       - gopher+ binary transfer methods
         Support for Gopher+ binary trnasfer methods make it possible 
         to grab arbitrary binary documents from Gopher+ servers, 
         
       - alternate views
         You can select an alternate view from a gopher+ server and
         download the contents into a file... a great way to fetch 
         gif images, Word and WordPerfect documents, sounds, etc.

       - gopher+ ASK blocks (forms)  
         You can fill out Gopher+ ASK forms... at the University of Minnesota
         we will be using these forms to allow individuals to update their
         entries in the on-line electronic phone book.

  * Bookmarks are stored in a text file.  This means that you can:

    - copy them to a macintosh and feed them to TurboGopher (in theory,
    anyway...I haven't had a chance to test it yet...)

    - edit them to your heart's content

    - mess them up royally

  If you edit the bookmark file, make SURE that:

    - you're using an editor that DOESN'T REPLACE TABS WITH SPACES

    - the file is being saved as PLAIN ASCII TEXT (not a WordPerfect
      file or some such grotesquerie )

  or your bookmarks won't work.

  There's a new version of BMKCVT that will much up an old-format .BMK
  file (PC Gopher III v1.00 and up) and produce a text file with your
  bookmarks in it; it comes with instructions.

* When creating a bookmark, the default text in the "Add Bookmark"
  dialog is set to the name of the object you're about to bookmark,
  rather than nothing

  * The .REZ file is no longer used.  Gopher now reads a PLAIN TEXTFILE
  called GOPHER.INI. There's a little widget called REZCVT that will eat
  your .REZ file (PC Gopher III v1.00 and up) and produce a configuration
  file; it comes with instructions and is pretty simple to use.

  You can still override some items in the .INI file with commandline
  switches but the @CFGFILE hack is gone.  The switches are the same
  as in the last version, but may change shortly to be consistent with
  the parameter names in GOPHER.INI.

  The

     /R=\path\to\your\gopher.rez\file

  has been replaced with

     /I=\path\to\your\gopher.ini\file


  * The binary fetch status window now stays around until explicitly
  closed; this allows bookmarks to be set for binary files.

  * The escape key now closes all windows.

  * We have changed the keys for inserting and deleting bookmarks: 
  the Ins key now inserts, the Del key deletes.

  * In order to use BOOTP, you should now check the "Use BOOTP" checkbox.
  This will insure that, regardless of previous network settings, gopher
  always asks for an address from the BOOTP server. 

---------------------------------
            Fixed Bugs
---------------------------------

 * Now uses the latest version of the U of MN TCP/IP driver; this fixes 
 several range-check error bugs

 * Fixed the range-check error @071F:07F9 problem that was being
 generated by some servers that use long display strings for gopher items.
 Thanks to Laurent Guillope' for helping to track this one down.

 * Found a solution for the range-check error @1C64:0390 -- upgrade to
 version 2.2 of FTP Inc.'s PC/TCP, or don't use PC/TCP at all.  That's
 the best we can do for right now...this one has been pretty much
 impossible to find.

 * Fixed the jumpy scroller bug.  You should be able to choose items from
 a directory listing as the list is being built.

 * Fixed several bookmark-related bugs:

    - memory leak when adding a bookmark

    - bookmarked searches didn't work

    - some searches didn't work, and would cause run-time errors.

 * cancelling the search string dialog didn't always work, now it does

 * cancelling binary file fetches fixed save large files to disk bug fixed


---------------------------------
           Unfixed Bugs
---------------------------------

  * if there's a non-single-window mode browser on the screen, and you
  switch to single-window mode, you have to open a new browser to get
  the "Go Back" button to appear

  * in single-window mode, a failed query shouldn't close the window

  * in single-window mode, the list of items is sometimes incomplete
  until the scrollbar has been moved.

  * empty directories shouldn't be displayed

  * MS-DOS and 64k segments.  This bug is unlikely to be remedied in the
  near future. We're finally running into some unsolveable memory issues. 
  Some directories in gopherspace are too big for PC gopher to display 
  (in other words, they overflow a 64K memory segment on the PC).  
  PC gopher does the best it can with these directories, but will
  complain about low memory. If you run into this, there's not much 
  you can do... but closing windows may make more memory available.
