This repository contains the 'memo' for the Gopher+ protocol (an extension of the original Gopher protocol as defined in RFC1436):

• gopherplus.txt Original & unmodified text file from 1993.
• gopherplus.md Reformatted markdown memo (with minor typo corrections).

The original memo was formatted as a raw text file with manual line-wrapping, and was never an official RFC so is not available from the ietf.org site. It also contained various miscellaneous punctuation and spelling typos.

The memo has been reformatted to Markdown format (with minor corrections to typos) and hosted on Github to make it easier to find/read/use/correct for developers who are implementing Gopher+ support.

No "editorial" changes have been made.

License is not explicitly stated, although it does state Distribution of this document is unlimited.
