  • Info (i) items display as links

  • 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 src is internal-gopher-menu, internal-gopher-index, internal-gopher-binary, etc.
