This patch fixes quite a few annoying bugs and adds one big, big feature, internationalization of hard coded messages in the gopher program. If your system support the 'gencat' command you can run the gopher client in Spanish, French and any other translation. In addition a new easy to define server option will help those who are still using old versions of WAIS. Just add -DNO_FREEWAIS to SERVEROPTS in Makefile.config Where to get it --------------- You can get 2.0pl15 via anonymous ftp or gopher from boombox.micro.umn.edu in: /pub/gopher/Unix/gopher2.015.tar.Z /pub/gopher/VMS/gopher2.015.zip /pub/gopher/Unix/patches/patch15 What's New/Fixed? ----------------- Client ------- * Many modifications for internationalization. Gopher can now use message catalogs for French and Spanish. Adding other languages is fairly easy. * Fix for Forms with multiple AskL items, or AskL items not as the last item. * Don't allow users with rsh to specify a shell as an display or print application. * Added documentation on the new URL= option in .link file from Alan Coopersmith * New manual page for gopherrc. * Fix for bad free() in CURrequest() * Fixed ^_ mislabel of the ^- help command. * Added prompt for RETURN in VMSExit(), to enable reading of ACCVIO tracebacks * Changed return values of DCLSystem() to be compatible with the for-Unix code. * Fixed spawns to work with OpenVMS/AXP v6.1 (still doesn't have the TRUSTED flag). * Modifications for Debug() and mismatched NULL arguments, added Debugmsg * Fix for last line without newline * Mods for TCPWARE on VMS * Use fast malloc routines on VMS VAXC. * Fix for binhex downloads on vms and use dump command for binary files * Fix for bad free() in SetOptions() * Added code for mapping telnet and/or tn3270 commands to "- none -" for disabling them and having the client issue "Sorry, not implemented" messages on efforts to use Type 8 or T tuples. * Added FIOsystem() failure messages for both VMS and Unix. (all from F.Macrides) * Allow VMS environment variable reading routines to be used on Unix systems. * eliminate redefinition of open to open_vmsopt() for ALPHA (Macrides) * Fixed break of open() for Alpha. (all From F.Macrides) Server ------ * Add NO_FREEWAIS option for older WAIS libraries to Makefile.config * Fix for spinning ftp processes from R.S. Jones, plus many other fixes for the ftp gateway from Jonzy. * Add port# to waiting for connection message that 'ps' generates. * Fix for sending text files with really long lines. * Default gopherd.conf has been reorganized, Added soundtracker type * Fix for mindex file processing.. * Modifications for Debug() and mismatched NULL arguments, added Debugmsg * Fix from Robert Beckett for binhex files * Fix for url problems * Fix for svr4.2 on unisys * Automagically define NO_VFORK for SCO -- | Paul Lindner | lindner@boombox.micro.umn.edu | Slipping into madness | | Distributed Computing Services | is good for the sake | Gophermaster | University of Minnesota | of comparison. ///// / / / /////// / / / / / / / / //// / / / / / / / /
