A Look at 2 More Windows Gopher Browsers
I use Windows during my work day. When I'm on Windows, I have relied on
Lynx and Overbite Nx for my gophering. I like them both, but neither
is as simple to setup as mainstream Windows users require to start
exploring gopherspace.
Recently, I found a couple of new Windows gopher clients.
Well, new to me at least. Maybe you already knew about them.
But just in case you didn't, here they are.
GOPHER BROWSER FOR WINDOWS
The first is Gopher Browser for Windows.
Version 1.2 is dated August 10, 2019. It's by Matt Owen and available from
Matt's website
Here is a screenshot of Gopher Browser for Windows.

The selector icons and colors make it easy to read.
My only wish is that it would wrap text.
SIMPLE GOPHER
The other Windows gopher browser is Simple Gopher for Windows by Shipwreck
Software. I installed version 1.4 from from the Windows app store, which
is about as easy as it gets.
Here's a screen shot of Simple Gopher.

Simple Gopher opens selectors in a new window. Once you get used to it,
it is a nice feature, though it doesn't take long to have a lot of
windows open.
Simple Gopher lets you choose your prefered font. It doesn't make use of
color in presenting text or selectors. I like that it nicely wraps text
to fit the screen, which is a feature I'm always on the hunt for.
If you know of any other good Windows gopher clients, let me know.
