  Just for the record, the remark in the webpage linked from that github saying that in 1996 "gopher was in its heyday" doesn't seem right to my memory. Gopher heyday in 1992-93? Sure! But gopher faded with the rise of Mosaic throughout 1994 iirc...

    wow, Mosaic on VMS, who knew! Any more details on the others, what's CK or multicast, does the letter use multicast for HTTP requests?

      W3C has a page about multicast mosaic: https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper05/paper05....
