Gopher ain't dead.

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/

As soon as I finish the new search engine, there will be an updated
Veronica-2 database to search. I also keep a listing of known gophers
up there too.

For those curious about the 3-D Gopher VR, there's a CVS tree somewhere
that's porting it to Unix. Meanwhile, Mac users can get the old test
version from

gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/gopher/clients/mac/

It still has a few bugs, which are now being repaired in the Unix port.

There's screenshots in that directory for those who are unenlightened^W^Wuse
other platforms.
