InfoShare Windows Version InfoShare is a cross-platform client for Internet browsing and publishing. It uses a new protocol, called Marmot, to publish information to gopher and http servers. Versions are available for Windows and Macintosh. Requirements This version requires the following: - Windows must be properly installed and configured - The system must be connected to the Internet - The system must have a Winsock 1.1-compliant sockets DLL (winsock.dll) installed to provide TCP/IP networking. Recommended hardware is a 386 or better with 4MB RAM. This is not a minimum; the application runs well on this platform. It actually should also run on older ones, but will be slower. Downloading the files In this directory is a self-extracting archive which contains all files needed to run the InfoShare application. After retrieving the archive, simply run it to cause it to self- extract. Then read the README file for instructions on how to complete the installation.
