Description:

WebGopher is an application allowing users of any 'World Wide Web'
browser which is compatible with the ArcWeb fetcher protocol (ArcWeb or
Webster for example) to access resources via 'gopher:' URLs.

Gopher menus are converted into HTML files, and gopher resources are
automatically stored in a resource directory for later retrieval.
An interface to gopher/veronica searches is also provided.

It also includes prototype versions of Telnet and FTP URL handlers.
These have NOT been fully tested, but seem to function OK most of the
time. The FTP handlers are via proxy machine only at the moment.
