To get back on topic, I tried out the Python/Tkinter client and it
worked fine with Python 2.0 on Slackware.  

I tried it with Python 2.0 in Windows 2000.  The main window opened, but
it stalled with status "Updating display...".  The UI was still
functional, though.  The following was dumped to the console window:

E:\Documents and Settings\emanuel\Desktop\forg-0.03>Forg.py gopher.heatdeath.org

    except CacheException, exceptionstr:
NameError: There is no variable named 'CacheException'

Which is wierd, because as far as I can tell from the code, this should
not happen.  Just to see if I could make it get further, I put
CacheException = 'Error' at the top of TkGui.py, but then when I ran it,
two Tk windows opened with no contents and it hung.  Now I have to get
back to work...
