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

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.
