The Internet Gopher is a distributed document delivery service. It
|
|
allows a neophyte user to access various types of data residing on
|
|
multiple hosts in a seamless fashion. This is accomplished by
|
|
presenting the user a hierarchical arrangement of documents and by
|
|
using a client-server communications model.
|
|
|
|
This is the Gopher+ distribution based on the University of
|
|
Minnesota's Internet Gopher+ distribution for UNIX machines.
|
|
University of Minnesota actively developed this software until 1995.
|
|
In 2000, they released it to the public under the GNU General Public
|
|
License. This represents the latest version of their tree, as adopted
|
|
by a group of programmers. A client for VMS is included but is not
|
|
currently supported.
