New Gopher Client

Hello,

I'm posting this to announce a gopher client I've been
working on in Python recently.  It's written using
Pmw and Tkinter, and has been reported to work on 
windows, although I haven't personally tried it there.

If you've never used Gopher before, I recommend you
give it a shot, and if you have used gopher before,
maybe it's time to give it another shot.  I would
appreciate any feedback or patches that anyone is
willing to contribute to the package, particularly
to clear up some extremely puzzling very hard to
reproduce problems with Tkinter and Pmw.  (Involving
infrequent segmentation faults even)

The package is written in nothing but Python, and
is available at 
http://opop.nols.com/proggie/forg-latest.tar.gz

If you have the ability to use CVS, you can check
out the latest sources from CVS using the following
commands:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at pi.complete.org:/var/cvs
cvs co clients/forg

The tarball listed above is usually a bit behind
the CVS archive, but not much.
