   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> good, i only have simple gopher client on windows 10 from app   
    BP> store, that one works, on andoid i dont know if anything exists   
      
   Me neither.  As far as I can tell I only have lynx that works at the moment   
   although I probably could write a bash script that uses netcat to create a   
   client fidonet-ish app.  There is a Net::Gopher module for perl and I've heard   
   rumours of a python gopher module.   
      
    BP> i would like to do the replacement for ftp:// to gopher:// with   
    BP> it, so i can close that problem with ftp protocol   
      
   Offhand I think ftp is the better option.   
      
    BP> i dont know much on how to build gopher pages yet   
      
   Other than a client script for kermit, I havem't used gopher in roughly 30   
   years now.   
      
    BP> feel free to send me example pages in netmail to test with   
      
   This is your idea not mine but if I get more curious about it I might try   
   something out that may or may not be of any interest to your goal for it.  I   
   can't see this idea catching on though beyond a server and a few clients on   
   smartphones.  Gopher might be a better option than sms messaging and the   
   such.  Is that what you're thinking?   
      
   Life is good,
