Re: [gopher] New Cross-Platform Gopher GUI Client
Hmm, not entirely sure what is causing that Access Violation, I had that
problem during initial development which ended up slowing down development. I
will look further into that.
Font options would be something I will definately look into.
I updated the Source code to enable GopherType 7 and h, so now Veronica-2
works, as well as most gopherholes which use the search type. Initial support
for the 'h' type has also been added, however I am trying to debug how to make
the "data:" protocol which some gopherpages use work properly.
These updates are not available in the binary images yet, I will make an
updated set of binaries tomorrow evening after I get more working. :)
