Gopher still works on the 2.8.3 dev 5 that I got from Jim Spath's site.  A
Gopher test URL is:
  gopher://marvel.loc.gov

I don't know how much longer it will be kept up, but it is still there.
The University of Minnesota gopher server still exists.  FYI, IE 5 still
understands gopher.  I think it should stay in Lynx a while longer.
