GS 1.1 is copyright by Mark Morley


This program is NOT in the public domain!  It is free however, and you
may use it in any setting, except that you may NOT sell it.


GS is a simple Gopher server for DOS.  It is written in Borland C,
using the WATTCP library by Erick Engelke.  Although it is not a
multitasking program, it _can_ deal with multiple incoming gopher
sessions at the same time (8 to be precise).

To install, simply create a directory somewhere and UNZIP the GS11.ZIP
file into it.  The GS.EXE file is included so you don't have to
recompile it if you don't want to.  You should run the GS.EXE file
from the directory you installed it in.

GS will generate a log file called "gs.log" in the current directory.
You will want to trim this file from time to time.

By default, GS will look for its data files and menus in a subdirectory
called "root" off of the current directory.  If you want to locate
the root directory somewhere else, simply set the environment variable
"GSROOT" to point to the proper location.

That's about all there is to it.

Please, no bad comments about the code...  This was nothing more than an
afternoon hack to teach myself more about WATTCP and writing servers.

The code is uncommented, but should be pretty easy to follow.  I wasn't
planning on releasing it, but if it is useful to you, great!
