InfoShare
Macintosh 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:

- System 7 or better
- The system must be connected to the Internet 
- MacTCP 1.1 or better

Downloading the files

In this directory is a self-extracting archive containing the InfoShare 
application and all files needed to run it.  After downloading the archive,
simply double-click it to cause it to self-extract.  Once the files are 
expanded, the ReadMe file will provide instructions on how to complete the 
installation.
