I tested the client and it looks good. Specially Gopher+ looks nice. I
tried Goper+ multiview here:
gopher://iubio.bio.indiana.edu:70/11/IUBio-Software+Data/util/dclap/docs
but unfortunately it didn't work :-( Perhaps because these were files?
It does work on directories.

I also tested +ASK and it rendered the form correctly, but it was
impossible to enter any data into it - hotkeys seem to redirect the
page to some other page ...
gopher://iubio.bio.indiana.edu:70/11/IUBio-Software+Data
-> 1 Search IUBio archive ReadMes & Help files!
(this is actually *the only* working +ASK form I found. I also found
one on some Hungarian server but I don't understand Hungarian ... And
Google Translate was not much help.)

Standard Gopher works nicely :-)
