MTCP NetCat with -quiet option Sep 4 2020
https://vetusware.com/download/MTCP%20NetCat%20with%20-quiet%20option%20Sep%204%202020/?id=16589
This is a custom-compiled version of mTCP's Netcat utility. A "-quiet" option has been added, which suppresses some of the output. This makes the program a little more friendly for scripting. The mTCP version number I've given here is simply a compilation date (that is how the program reports the version, there is no other version in the official program). This was compiled with Open Watcom 1.9, using the mTCP March 7th 2020 sources, which are GPL. It is recommended that you download the official mTCP package, and drop this additional program in the same folder. The regular netcat executable is NC.EXE, this has been named NCQ.EXE. I have tested this build on DosBox and on 8088 hardware. I've included the source CPP file so you can see the basic changes for the "-quiet" option, in case you want to compile for yourself. To compile, you will need to have a working Watcom setup and the full mTCP sources, which are both readily available.

NCGopher 1.5
https://vetusware.com/download/NCGopher%201.5/?id=16590
NCGopher v1.5 - tfurrows@sdf.org - Public domain =========================================================== ## Introduction ## NCGopher is a simple gopher client for DOS, made for the sole purpose of having a client with decent speed that runs on an 8088. It depends heavily on mTCP's netcat utility. To be very precise, here is what you need to use NCGopher: ## System Requirements ## * 8088 or 80x86 based machine with 640kb of RAM (less?) * DOS (only tested on 6.22, but older versions should work) * Ethernet card, installed and configured * Working and running packet driver for ethernet * mTCP from Michael Brutman, https://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ * mTCP configuration to match your network, nc.exe working. This latest version has an option in the CFG file for a QUIET mode, to support the bundled NCQ utility (a custom compiled version of mTCP's NC utility, with a -quiet argument.) You can still use this with the normal Netcat (NC) from mTCP by setting "QUIET=0" in the configuration. See the included .TXT files for details.
