Gopherus - a console-mode gopher client

[Mateusz Viste]

Hi all,

I released a new gopher client called "Gopherus". It is a console-mode
client available for DOS, Windows and Linux. It must be noted that it's
not using a real console on non-DOS targets, but a terminal emulation
via SDL.

Some of you might remember 'ddwarf' - another gopher client of mine,
that I wrote about 4 years ago. Gopherus is visually very close to it,
although it doesn't share any code with ddwarf. I wanted to recreate a
totally new gopher client, using the experience I gained on ddwarf.

Unlike ddwarf, Gopherus is written in plain ANSI C (C89), therefore
porting it to other platforms should be quit easy (should such need arise).

The gopher page of Gopherus is right here:
gopher://gopher.viste-family.net/1/projects/gopherus/

For those gopher-impaired, I made also a quick http website:

Looks nice; will try building it on NetBSD soon.

Go for It!

I see that SDL seem to be available on NetBSD, therefore my guess is
that the Linux build process should do just fine on NetBSD as well,
since I don't think I use any linux-specific code.

make -f Makefile.lin

Let me know if you run into troubles :)

cheers,
Mateusz
