<br>
I read somewhere that Gopher+ is more specific to some additions that were made to the protocol.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for the info.<br>
