readme.htm/readme.txt - this file

Windows

Pgopher.exe - 32 bit version; should run on any PC
PgopherU64.exe - 64 bit unicode version; requires a 64 bit version of windows. This can handle larger problems, but for most use cases will be no different to the 32 bit version.
pgopher.chm, the windows help file.
TabSlaveU.exe, a simple text editor optimized for use with PGOPHER, the TabSlave Editor. This is the unicode version that can handle characters outside the ASCII standard A-Z range.
tabslave.exe, an earlier version of the above that is restricted to ASCII text.
The commandline directory contains command line versions of PGOPHER.

Linux

pgopher-x86_64-linux-gtk2.tgz contains executables (Graphical and command line version of PGOPHER and the TabSlave Editor) for 64 bit x86 machines. This is the recommended version.
If you are using a 32 bit system, or the above doesn't run (typically with an error message about GLIBC) try the files in the epel directory which are compiled with an older Linux version (RHEL 6):

epel/pgopher-i386-epel-gtk2.tgz for 32 bit x86 machines.
epel/pgopher-x86_64-epel-6-gtk2.tgz for 64 bit x86 machines.

Apple Mac

pgopher-MacOSX-i386-carbon.app.zip - PGOPHER compiled for OS X Leopard (10.5) and above. The command line version is included in this zip file.
tabslave-MacOSX-i386-carbon.app.zip a simple text editor optimized for use with PGOPHER, the TabSlave Editor.
