Aftershock - An Open Source Gopher Server
Copyright 2003-2004 Rob Linwood (rcl211@nyu.edu)

This README file covers Aftershock 1.01

I. Introduction
Aftershock is an Open Source, freely-available Gopher server.  It is
written to the standard set forth in RFC 1436, and as such, should be fully
interoperable with all existing Gopher clients, including Netscape, Mosaic,
UMN Gopher, and Mozilla.

Aftershock was written in Java, and requires a Java 1.4 (or better) 
runtime. Portions of the code, as well as the design, are based on the 
author's Soma web server.

A copy of the Aftershock license (MIT style) is included in the file LICENSE.

II. Installation
Unarchiving the Aftershock distribution is all the installation that needs
to occur.  Unix users should read the section in the manual about running
Aftershock on that system.

Read the manual (docs/manual.txt) for how to configure Aftershock.  Or just
open up the aftershock.conf file  - it is fairly simple.

III. Running
Under Unix, run the supplied "aftershock" script.

Under everything else, use the command "java -jar aftershock"

IV. Special Thanks:
Randolf C. Richardson, for the bug reports that lead to this release.

V. Etc.
You can report bugs to rcl211@nyu.edu

To join the Gopher mailing list (which I also read), send a message
