What is Gopher?
Introduction to Gopher:
Gopher is a client/server system that allows you to access many Internet resources simply by making selections from a sequence of menus.
Each time you make a selection, Gopher carries out your request to the computer that contains the information and "serves" it up.
The Power of Gopher is that the resources listed in a menu may be anywhere on the Internet.
As Gopher connects to computers to comply with your menu selection, you don't need to be preoccupied with the behind-the-scenes work of connections. This automatic connecting makes Gopher popular and useful.
Why is it called Gopher?
The name "Gopher" is appropriate for reasons:
- A gopher is an animal which successfully travels under the grass, digging tunnels. Likewise, the Internet Gopher tunnels through the invisible paths of the Internet to help you find the information you want.
- The Golden Gopher is the mascot of the University of Minnesota, where the application was developed.
