I have recently uploaded version 1.3.2 of the NeXT Gopher client to several  
archives.  You can retrieve:

/pub/gopher/NeXT/Gopher_1.3.2.tar.Z       from  boombox.micro.umn.edu
/pub/next/submissions/Gopher_1.3.2.tar.Z  from  sonata.cc.purdue.edu
/pub/next/submissions/Gopher_1.3.2.tar.Z  from  cs.orst.edu


New features - version 1.3.2
============================
- support for image type 'I' in addition to type 'g' (GIF)
- support for binary files of types: '4' (BinHex), '5' (DOS archive), 
  '6' (uuencode) and '9' (raw binary).  Files are saved directly to disk.
- fixed a bug with launching Terminal under NeXTStep 3.0

Features added in version 1.3
=============================
* mini-icons are used in the browser to identify Gopher-types
* added support for GIF graphics files (type 'g')
- the Find menu is fully implemented - including a Find Panel
- fixed-width font (Ohlfs) used in the text window
- larger default window size
- Gopher will remember whenever you change its window size
- 'play' (for sounds) is bundled into an .app wrapper
- removed limitation on size of text files
- Alternate-clicking on an item will update its "Item info"
  without retrieving its contents
- a default has been added to allow listing all items in the 
  browser, including unsupported types.  In a Terminal window 
  you must do "dwrite Gopher ShowAllTypes YES".
- "Open..." remembers previous connection information
- double-clicks in the browser are ignored
- window closes when Gopher fails to open a new connection
- better error detection & notification
- fixed bug when closing a window from the menu (Command-w)
- fixed bug when selecting text items following an Index
- other minor improvements and bug fixes
