[gopher] Gopherplus.org management

[Héctor A. Abreu]

I am still new to gopher, so my question may or may not make sense: isn't "Gopherplus" different to "Gopher"?

I read somewhere that Gopher+ is more specific to some additions that were made to the protocol.

The command line client I am using in Linux shows "non gopher+" next to the first link that appears when I start the application, which takes me to the floodgap gopher server.

Thank you in advance for the info.
