       There are dozens of Gopher Servers for various platforms (gopher://home.jumpjet.info/11\Begin_Here\Servers),
         including a native one for ANY variant of Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, etc. (gopher://home.jumpjet.info/11\Begin_Here\Servers\Windows%20NT\GopherS).
          
         GopherS (GSI386.ZIP) is in fact so stable, compatible (it can even be run on the "home" variants of Windows), and easy to use that the JumpJet server was migrated to a cheap Virtual Windows Server service out in the "Internet Cloud" long ago.

         as an aside, i've found nothing in the rfc archives that indicates a 
       standard on how servers need to organize their entries, just what data has 
       to be sent. if anyone has info on that, i'd appreciate it. not only am i 
       working on a gopher client for windows, i'd like to build a server as well, 
       since gopher hasn't been a supported (and obscure) option for IIS since 
       windows NT server 4.0
       
       i'd like to put together not only a client for the latest versions of 
       windoze, but have been considering building a server as well. i think the 
       community is severely missing both. and no offense, but i don't want to have 
       to run cygwin or have perl installed to run a gopher server. i'd love to 
       build a native windoze server. anyone who wants to help, let me know.
       
       also, i'm having problems linking with the cso lookup types. anyone know 
       where i can find a cso server? NASA used to have one, but it's down, and 
       when i wrote them about it they kind of laughed at me. ("why are you using 
       old technology??")
       
       on the up side. a windoze native client is progressing nicely. hopefully 
       i'll have it done soon. keep in mind i have many other projects going on as 
       well. but soon.
