GS/TCP update -> PPP and a Web Browser



Very good news for those interested in TCP/IP access for the Apple IIgs.

I have just completed an initial port of CERN's LineMode Web Browser to  
the IIgs, and it is functional!  The LineMode Browser is a simple text  
based browser based on CERN's WWW Library.  Using the LineMode browser,  
information can be retrieved via many protocols such as http, ftp, gopher,  
and nntp.

My port of the WWW Library (almost 40,000 lines of C code) in cooperation  
with GS/TCP and GNO will make it feasible for a graphical based web  
browser to be written for the Apple IIgs.

In addition, I have also completed an initial port of the public PPP  
package to run under GS/TCP.  It is still in the testing phase, but I have  
been able to establish a connection and use GS/TCP utilities such as ftp  
over the connection.

I apologize that the work I have done is not yet available to the public.   
I am very busy finishing up my Master's degree, and will work on GS/TCP  
whenever I get a chance.  I am very close!
