Different Gopher client oddities I've observed.
Internet Explorer 3 (16-bit)
- Info (i) items display as links
- Index search (7) items have the query prompt on a separate page
- Can't view source
Internet Explorer 5.0 (Macintosh)
- Info (i) items display as links
- Index search (7) is completely unsupported and shows only a blank page
- View source is actually for the HTML that the browser generates to display the Gopher menu!
HGopher 2.4a
- If hostname resolution instantly fails, go to Options -> Network Setup and enable vendor-provided Name Services
Netscape Communicator 4.77 (Macintosh)
- View source is actually for the HTML that the browser generates to display the Gopher menu! It's not even a complete HTML document, being a fragment of what would go inside the body tag. Image
