               TGopherClient Component

The TGopherClient Component from LionKnight Software 
provides the capability to traverse Internet Gopher files.
It runs on top of the WINSOCK TCP/IP stack available
from third party vendors including microsoft.

It can either provide a fully visual environment where
the user can traverse the Gopher files and directories by
pointing and clicking or a non visual environment where
you can retrieve a gopher file or directory by a function 
call. For example you can add the functionality to retrieve
the current weather in a city at regular intervals in
time with one function call. It can be used by a company
to distribute time critical data to a distributed workforce 
by publishing the data as a gopher file and having automated 
clients using the component retrieve the data.
