The Internet Gopher client/server provides a distributed information
delivery system around which a world/campus-wide information system (CWIS)
can readily be constructed.  While providing a delivery vehicle for local
information, Gopher facilitates access to other Gopher and information
servers throughout the world.

Gopher appears to the user as a set of menus.  At each menu, an item can be
selected, or the user may retrace their steps to the previous menu.

Selecting menu items can lead to a variety of actions
being performed, including displaying another menu, displaying a
file, transferring a binary file, searching an index.

In this implementation of Gopher, AmigaGuide is used as the user interface,
and menu items can be selected by clicking on them. Reverting to the 
previous menu is accomplished by using the standard AmigaGuide Retrace
button. Closing all the AmigaGuide windows terminates the Gopher session.


The distribution archive contains the following files:
  Gopher    the program itself
  Startup   an amigaguide file to provide a basis for the user interface
  Bookmarks a list of handy gopher pages

To install:

Unpack Gopher into AmiTCP:bin/
Unpack GopherStartup and GopherBookmarks into AmiTCP:db/

Start Gopher by issuing the GOPHER command from a CLI, whilst
AmiTCP is running.
