Gopher for UNIX, server and client and other goodies is now available.

To get it:

anonymous ftp to boombox.micro.umn.edu, get the fine
/pub/gopher/Unix/gopher1.03.tar.Z 

Use gopher to go connect to boombox (one way is through Info about
Gopher, Gopher Software Distribution, Unix, gopher1.03.tar.Z)

Mostly bug fixes, with a few nifty new features, including binary
transfer for WAIS stuff, support for type I (the official gopher image
type.).

I've also added a nifty indexing script in misc/Indexing that works
quite well for making WAIS indices.

Here are the changes:

Client Changes from v1.02 to v1.03
----------------------------------

The client can now interrupt searches using Control-c.  However this
can be buggy.  The current position on the screen isn't quite updated
properly, and things will probably break if you're reading a long
directory....

Gopher now looks in the "Name" instead of the "path" to find a default
name to save in..  Works for WAIS docid things.

Client can now view images.  There is a new environment variable
GOPHER_IMAGE.  It's a little different than the patch that's already
out there.

Searches in a menu (the / command) are now case insensitive.

PagerCommand is now saved.  PAGER still takes precedence, though.

Fixed bogus out of memory error when mailing a file.

Added casts to each and every malloc();

Changed name of PC binary files to PCBIN instead of HQX, confusing at
best...


Server Changes from v1.02 to v1.03
----------------------------------

Added lost+found and lib to the list of directories mapped out.
Eventually this will be replaced by a gopherd.conf file.

gopherls will now list out the correct host, instead of NULL.

Binary files now work for the ftp-gateway in the server.
(mahilata@vogon.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de) Added Image and sound support
to the gateway as well.

You no longer have to play with the Path= portion in a .cap entry if
you want something to be treated as a binary (9) or Search (7).
The server does it right.

Server recognizes gifs as Type I irregardless of extension.

WAIS searches can now return binary type data.  For now it's just
returned as Type 9.  However Type I and s can be hacked in pretty
easily.
