 Hello gopherspace !

A new version for gopher server from GOGOPH project is out !

GOGOPH Server is a gopher server (RFC 1436 compliant). The main goal is
simplicity.

This software is mainly a Java program. It use 1 configuration file.
All your need is archive file from HERE :

*Why choose this one ?*

Very small program.
Very small memory footprint. (files are loaded on-the-fly)
Design of gogoph server is KISS. Very simple to use. Only one program for
one configuration file (plain text) for one live folder..
Based on modern Java NIO framework, can manage > 1K connections in the same

library).
NO external library or framework or whatever. Only need basic Java version.
