I will be giving a talk on current directory services on the Internet (whois, CSO nameserver, quipu, and the use of gopher as a common directory user agent for multiple protocols) and would like to give as much historical context as possible. I would appreciate both pointers to documents and personal reminiscences. Many thanks. Mohamed PS: Pointers to the future (e. g. whois++) would also be appreciated.
