Patches and clients for other legacy platforms | |
These clients are intended for pre-OS X Macintoshes, though they will generally work under Classic. They do not work on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs except through SheepShaver or QEMU. | |
Classilla for Classic Mac OS | |
Classilla runs on Power Macs with Mac OS 8.6 or 9, and has full Gopher support. It also runs on Classic under OS X and Mac OS under Rhapsody. It has a separate menu. MacLynx is a port of the venerable text web browser, also with gopher support. It requires System 7 and MacTCP or OpenTransport. TurboGopher is the original gopher client for Mac, and will still work on Power Macintoshes under Classic in 10.4 or lower. This directory also includes GopherVR. Look at the screenshots for an example. GopherVR was unfinished and many bugs still remain. For GopherVR on Mac OS X, see | |
The New GopherVR: A Virtual Reality View of Gopherspace | |
TurboGopher and GopherVR need System 7.5 or later, or System 7.1.x plus the Thread Manager extension (not included in this stripped-down distribution; download separately below ONLY if you have a system version before 7.5.x). FreePPP is included for your convenience. | |
