NAME
xvgopher - XView gopher client program

SYNOPSIS
xvgopher [ servername [ port# ] ]

DESCRIPTION
Xvgopher is a user friendly gopher client. When started, xvgopher will show the root directory of the gopher server which was selected when it was compiled. The type of each item in the list is indicated my a small icon. The meaning of the icons should be pretty clear, but if you can draw better icons, send them to me!!! To activate an item, just double click on it.

The Gopher menu in the main window contains several useful items:

• Bookmarks...
    This will create a window showing your your bookmarks.

• Another Gopher...
    This will allow you to contact another gopher server. You can specify both the server name and the port number.

• Preferences...
    This will create a window which allows you to modify things like the commands to execute for certain things.

• About...
    This will create a window showing who created Xvgopher

OPTIONS
By default, xvgopher will contact whatever server it was compiled with. If a servername is specified, xvgopher will try to contact that server at port 70. You can modify the port number of the remote server by also specifying port#

FILES

$HOME/.xvgopher-defaults
