A distributed information service that makes available hierarchical collections of information across the Internet Gopher uses a simple protocol that allows a single Gopher client to access information from any accessible Gopher server, providing the user with a single "Gopher space" of information Public domain versions of the client and server are available See also: protocol
tridecemlineatus; called also striped prairie squirrel, leopard marmot, and leopard spermophile
A widely successful method of making menus of material available over the Internet Gopher is a Client and Server style program, which requires that the user have a Gopher client program Although Gopher spread rapidly across the globe in only a couple of years, it has been largely supplanted by Hypertext, also known as WWW (World Wide Web) There are still thousands of Gopher Servers on the Internet and we can expect they will remain for a while See Also: Client, Server, WWW, Hypertext Go to top
A menu-based method of searching for information on the Internet, originally developed at the University of Minnesota
A system that pre-dates the World Wide Web for organizing and displaying files on Internet servers A Gopher server presents its contents as a hierarchically structured list of files
Indexing and retrieval scheme for accessing information on the Internet Gopher, developed at the University of Minnesota, is based on the client-server model
>A way of publishing information and accessing it via a hierarchical menu-based system Gopher is a Clientand Serverstyle program, which requires that the user have a Gopher Client program Although Gopher spread rapidly across the globe in only a couple of years, it is being largely supplanted by Hypertext, also known as the WWW There are still thousands of Gopher Servers on the Internet and we can expect they will remain for a while
a junior worker, usually in an office - someone who can be sent to go for things; in this sense it is sometimes spelled gofer
Though not as popular as FTP or http, the gopher protocol is implemented by many browsers and numerous other programs and allows the transfer of files across networks In some respects it can be thought of as a hybrid between FTP and http, although it tends not to be as good at raw file transfer as FTP and is not as flexible as http The collection of documents available through gopher is often called "gopherspace", and it should be noted that gopherspace is older than the web It should also be noted that gopher is not getting as much attention as it once did, and surfing through gopherspace is a little like exploring a ghost town, but there is an interesting VR interface available for it, and some things in gopherspace still have not been copied onto the web
A gopher is a small animal which looks a bit like a rat and lives in holes in the ground. Gophers are found in Canada and the USA
Invented at the University of Minnesota in 1993 just before the Web, gopher was a widely successful method of making menus of material available over the Internet Gopher was designed to be much easier to use than FTP, while still using a text-only interface Gopher is a Client and Server style program, whichrequires that the user have a Gopher Client program Although Gopher spread rapidly across the globe in only a couple of years, it has been largely supplanted by Hypertext, also known as WWW (World Wide Web) There are still thousands of Gopher Servers on the Internet and we can expect they will remain for a while See also: Client, FTP, WWW
One of several North American burrowing rodents of the genera Geomys and Thomomys, of the family Geomyidæ; called also pocket gopher and pouched rat
any of various terrestrial burrowing rodents of Old and New Worlds; often destroy crops
A large land tortoise (Testudo Carilina) of the Southern United States, which makes extensive burrows
Gopher was the first popular interface (actually, a "protocol") for serving information on the Internet On a gopher you navigate up or down hierarchical menus, eventually arriving at a file, which is usually a text-only (ASCII) document A gopher client (a piece of software on your machine, like TurboGopher or WS Gopher) allows you to gopher from gopher site to gopher site, or within one gopher A gopher site is the hierarchical series of menus and files that resides at one address Gopher menus may also lead to images, or ftp and telnet connections, which most gopher clients allow you to use by launching an ancillary program, or helper application Web browsers can display gophers; just turn the gopher address into a URL
A technology that is used to make files available over the Internet Gopher has been largely replaced by HTTP servers and the WWW (World Wide Web) There are still thousands of Gopher Servers on the Internet See Also: Client , Server , WWW
In computing, Gopher is a program that collects information for you from many databases across the Internet. or pocket gopher Any of about 40 species (family Geomyidae) of stocky rodents found in North and Central America. Gophers range in length from 5 to 18 in. (13 to 45 cm), including a short, sparsely haired tail. They have chisel-like front teeth; long, strong claws on their forefeet; and large fur-lined pouches that open externally on each side of the mouth. Coat colour varies from almost white to brown or black. Gophers live alone in extensive, shallow underground burrows marked by a series of rounded earth mounds on the surface. They feed on the underground parts of plants, which they obtain as they tunnel along
A protocol for information delivery used in distributed information systems Gopher clients give you access to this information Gopher is a menu-based delivery system and does not have hypertext capabilities Gopher has been largely supplanted by HTTP
A system for reading unformatted (or plain) text documents on computers connected to the Internet Prior to the development of the World Wide Web, Gopher was the easiest way to view information on the Internet Although the Web has eclipsed Gopher as the method of choice for viewing information on the Internet, you can still find a great deal of useful information only on Gopher See Gopher in Using Other Internet Resources
burrowing rodent of the family Geomyidae having large external cheek pouches; of Central America and southwestern North America
One of several western American species of the genus Spermophilus, of the family Sciuridæ; as, the gray gopher (Spermophilus Franklini) and the striped gopher (S
