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
