GopherApp is an Internet information service program for 
Macintosh computers.  It provides a Finder-like link to the range 
of Internet Gopher services.

GopherApp is being written by Don Gilbert, using the MacApp 
extensible Macintosh programming framework from Apple Computer.
It is actually a subset of a biosequence analysis program
called SeqApp.  

To use GopherApp, your Mac must have a network connection to the 
Internet, and it must have MacTCP installed and operating (as 
with NCSA Telnet, Eudora, network news and similar MacTCP-based 
Internet programs).

You may obtain GopherApp thru anonymous ftp to ftp.bio.indiana.edu, in 
folder /util/gopher, as gopherapp.hqx. You may also obtain updates 
using Gopher to this same IUBio archive (host=ftp.bio.indiana.edu,
port=70). Look for a folder called "IUBio Software+Data/GopherApp".

	addition, and the Marvels of MacApp/OOP let me fold in this change from

  long paths (>255 char) so now all wais searches should work,
	mapping to mac types extended to Gopher types, so e.g.,
	  new gopher types can be incorporated thru user-editable map ('T'->'8' or 'g'->'9'),
		or change default behavior (have '0' text always displayed by favorite text editor),
	binhex transfer is revised, now is a lot FASTER,
	fixed "Save" bug when file openned from finder,
	pref: small icon views enabled,
