What is Jugtail?
Jugtail is a command line Gopher menu search engine and display tool. You can learn what Gopher is by browsing this Gopher site, for which a web interface is also available:
- gopher://gopher.quux.org/1/Software/Gopher (native Gopher site)
- http://www.quux.org/Software/Gopher (web interface)
The author of Jugtail is Rhett "Jonzy" Jones, who has decided to release his popular tool under the GPL license.
For existing trademark issues on the previous name of this software, the program has been renamed to Jugtail, which is a slightly modified version of the original, more suited for running on most modern Unix-like (POSIX) systems. These modifications have been made by Claudio Fontana.
Example jugtail server
Chris has put a jugtail server online, which serves possibly the largest jughead/jugtail database. Check it out at:
- gopher://hal3000.cx/1/Search (native Gopher site)
Vote for fixing Gopher in mozilla
Unfortunately the newer popular mozilla-based browsers do not support Gopher correctly when running on non-default ports. The mozilla people seem to require votes to address bug reports, so please cast your vote for dreaded bug 158888:
