This section uses PNG images heavily. Typically, most browsers that cannot display PNG images are often old enough to have more than adequate built-in Gopher support and do not require Overbite software. For more details, please see the information on the Floodgap Public Gopher Proxy.

OverbiteFF

OverbiteFF is a cross-platform Mozilla Firefox add-on that replaces and enhances Firefox's gopher support with an attractive and customizable interface, improved protocol support (including CSO/ph), and full integration with Firefox including downloads, bookmarkable URLs and web-gopher interoperability. Written in cross-platform JavaScript and runs anywhere Firefox runs, including Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux!


OverbiteCa

OverbiteCa is a port of OverbiteFF to Camino, the Mozilla-based Mac OS X native browser. OverbiteCa is descended from OverbiteFF for Firefox 2 and is coming soon. Check back later for availability!


Overbite AIR

Overbite AIR is Overbite's future stand-alone cross-platform gopher client. Using the Adobe Integrated Runtime, the same codebase can run on any AIR-supported OS, including Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux (specific supported distributions). This project is planned for development when AIR Linux support is stabilized. Check back later for availability!


Other Browsers

Use the online Public Gopher Proxy for most browsers and operating systems. The Floodgap Gopher Proxy is designed for most web clients and allows downloads, queries and translation of most major item types. Access is limited by Floodgap Terms of Service.

Overbite downloadable software support for Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Internet Explorer is currently being considered for the future. For these browsers today, please use the Proxy. Other browsers may also be considered upon request. If you are interested in such support being extended to your platform or browser in the future, please send E-mail.
