WS Gopher

WS Gopher -- WS Gopher is the best gopher client available for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it appears to be the only gopher client still being actively developed. Its competitors haven't had updates in a year or two. In addition to this, WS Gopher is a great application. One of its most useful features is its seemingly comprehensive collection of bookmarks and hot spots. If only every internet client contained such valuable information. WS Gopher supports the Gopher+ protocol but lacks support for firewalls. The only feature that needs improvement is the toolbar -- its icons could definitely be more intuitive. Pros: Very extensive bookmark collection; Gopher+ support; easy to use; it's free, free, free Cons: Toolbar is not very intuitive, gopher clients have largely been superceded by web browsers New: Native 32-bit version released, revised interface, more Version Reviewed: 16-bit - 1.2. 32-bit - 2.0 Beta 1 Date of Review: 7/15/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
