<!-- WHAT* GOPHER* -->
The Gopher is a text-only <A HREF="i.html">Internet service</A>
document delivery service, or in simpler terms, a method of navigating
through the Internet in a menu based system. Gopher provides a simple
method of distributing and retrieving information.
<P>
The World Wide Web has largely replaced the old Gopher standard since the
Web can incorporate pictures into its pages. Most web browsers (such as
the program you are using now) will allow you to Gopher. An example of
a gopher site is the <A HREF="
gopher://gopher.tc.umn.edu/">University of Minnesota</A>.
<P>
There are a pair of search engines called
<A HREF="i_veronica.html">Veronica</A> and
<A HREF="i_jughead.html">Jughead</A> which search for content on the Gopher.
