 *******************************************************
 *** PC Gopher II v1.03 Release Notes:    6 Aug 1992 ***
 *******************************************************

Bugs fixed since 1.02b
----------------------

 - heap space overflow while looking at long dir listings fixed

 - Gopher now restores the starting driver and directory properly on
   exit

 - if user opened two bookmark list viewers, the bookmark list could
   get munged.  Choosing "Open Bookmark List" now checks to see if there's
   already an open window; if there is, it's brought to the foreground

 - the bookmark list wasn't being written out to disk if the user quit
   with an open bookmark list viewer

New Features since 1.02b
------------------------

 - telnet session command string is now written to the log file GOPHER.LOG
   after variable substitution; this may help in debuggin telnet session
   problems

 - if the user selects a telnet session, and memory is low, and error
   message will pop up, allowing the user to continue or cancel the
   session.  Thanks to Dan Cummings at the U of MN for the idea.

 - the REZGEN program is gone; to create a new resource file, there's
   a new command-line switch, /INIT.

 - bookmarks are now stored in a separate file from config info; by
   default, they're kept in GOPHER.BMK, in the same directory as GOPHER.EXE.
   Server admin types can now protect config data, while still allowing
   users to create bookmarks

 - listbox type identifier for phonebooks changed from "<C>" to "<P>", since
   everyone but us nerds call them "phone books", not "CSO servers"

 - a MANUAL....FINALLY!  It's even up to date...
