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. The Internet Gopher
|
|
|
|
|
Server accepts simple queries, and responds by sending the client
|
|
|
|
|
a document.
