Brazilian gopher

["Nancy J. P. Lively" <nlively@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

Pardon me for deleting the request for a Brazilian gopher.  I never
expected to know one in time to be of assistance.  I am getting ready for
an inservice I am helping teach on Monday and I found one (by accident
more or less).  I tried it out and it really exists!  URL:
gopher://bat.ftpt.br.  If you are not used to URS's , what you need to do
is type gopher gopher.bat.ftpt.br.  The opening menus are all in
English.  Once you get down to the "stuff" it is in Portuguese.  I can
read it well enough to survive (I've studied Portuguese in the past.)  If
you know French and Spanish, you can probably survive it too.  When I
tried to get to the Sao Paulo gopher, I got stuck waiting for the
directory to be received.  (Perhaps I was not patient long enough).  Here
is the menu at all gophers in Brazil
