Q2: What do I need to access Gopher?
A2: You will need a gopher "client" program that runs on your local PC
or workstation
There are clients for the following systems. The directory
following the name is the location of the client on the anonymous
<ftp> site boombox.micro.umn.edu (134.84.132.2) in the directory
/pub/gopher.
Unix Curses & Emacs : /pub/gopher/Unix/gopher1.12.tar.Z
Xwindows (athena) : /pub/gopher/Unix/xgopher1.2.tar.Z
Xwindows (Motif) : /pub/gopher/Unix/moog
Macintosh Hypercard : /pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher/old-versions *
Macintosh Application : /pub/gopher/Macintosh-TurboGopher *
DOS w/Clarkson Driver : /pub/gopher/PC_client/
NeXTstep : /pub/gopher/NeXT/
VM/CMS : /pub/gopher/Rice_CMS/ or /pub/gopher/VieGOPHER/
VMS : /pub/gopher/VMS/
OS/2 2.0 : /pub/gopher/os2/
MVS/XA : /pub/gopher/mvs/
Many other clients and servers have been developed by others, the
following is an attempt at a comprehensive list.
A Macintosh Application, "MacGopher".
ftp.cc.utah.edu:/pub/gopher/Macintosh *
Another Macintosh application, "GopherApp".
ftp.bio.indiana.edu:/util/gopher/gopherapp *
A port of the UNIX curses client for DOS with PC/TCP
oac.hsc.uth.tmc.edu:/public/dos/misc/dosgopher.exe
A port of the UNIX curses client for PC-NFS
bcm.tmc.edu:/nfs/gopher.exe
A beta version of the PC Gopher client for Novell's LAN Workplace
for DOS
lennon.itn.med.umich.edu:/dos/gopher
A VMS DECwindows client for use with Wollongong or UCX
job.acs.ohio-state.edu:XGOPHER_CLIENT.SHARE
* Note: these Macintosh clients require MacTCP.
Most of the above clients can also be fetched via a gopher client
itself. Put the following on a gopher server:
Type=1
Host=boombox.micro.umn.edu
Port=70
Path=
Name=Gopher Software Distribution.
Or point your gopher client at boombox.micro.umn.edu, port 70 and
look in the gopher directory.
There are also a number of public telnet login sites available.
The University of Minnesota operates one on the machine
"consultant.micro.umn.edu" (134.84.132.4) See Q3 for more
information about this. It is recommended that you run the client
software instead of logging into the public telnet login sites. A
client uses the custom features of the local machine (mouse,
scroll bars, etc.) A local client is also faster.
