- Gophers by telnet:
- Gopher is a program that gives the user a menu which leads the
- user through the Internet. It was named gopher because it was
- developed at the University of Minnesota and it "goes for" the
- information selected in the menu. Gopher sites are ubiquitous on
- the Internet now and make the Internet easy to use.
- The gopher program can be used two ways. 1. type 'gopher' at
- your command prompt and a gopher menu will appear. You then use
- this menu to go about the Internet. The user may mail any desired
- files back to his/her home account. 2. type 'gopher' at the
- command prompt followed by a gopher site address, just like telnet
- is used. All gopher sites can be reached this way, and some gopher
- sites can be reached by using telnet, although these are fast
- disappearing. Gopher sites by telnet are disappearing because
- gopher clients are becoming so common that telnet is no longer
- needed. A client is the program that runs on the same computer as
- your electronic account and enables you to run or use the program.
- The entire Internet is accessible via gopher.
-
- Use gophers to access government databases, universities and
- their libraries, National Institute of Health, White House
- information, game sites, other nations, ad infinitum. The
- list of places to access is endless. Try them out to see how
- they work and what you can find.
