Does anyone know of any stable graphical interfaces for gopher other than
Hgopher? I love Hgopher, but for the purposes of evaluation, it would be
nice to be able to compare it to something.

Thanks in advance for any information even remotley related to this topic.

WinPanda is a Gopher-compatible client for Microsoft Windows, either over a
network (WinSock 1.1) or over a modem connection (does not require SLIP). Pre-
beta copies are available via anonymous FTP from panda.uiowa.edu, in
/pub/Panda/WinPanda.* and /pub/Panda/ModPanda.*.

AFAIK, this is the only graphical Gopher client that will work over a modem
without requiring SLIP.

One last thing: you must change the line:
t esprit.isca.uiowa.edu 9999
in the script window to:
t modemin.isca.uiowa.edu 9999
(our Esprit machine no longer exists). Also, you should probably change the
local phone number to an appropriate long-distance phone number.

Or NCSA Mosaic (ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in /Mosaic/Windows directory.

It is also a WWW client (much nicer than gopher) but also speaks to all
gopher servers (not gopher+) and includes typing icons/etc under gopher
or anonymous FTP...
