Figure 3: Using Gopher to Explore the online White House Library
The University of Minnesota maintains a directory with links to all gopher servers which independent administrators have chosen to register by e-mail with the University. Most gopher clients provide a link to this directory of directories from their main window, allowing users to readily locate gopher information servers as they join the global Internet. At the time of this writing, 1189 gopher servers appear in the list (approximately 6% support the gopher+ protocol). This list provides a single link to the “root” of each organization’s gopher “filesystem” which help guide the user to their specific destination. Gopher clients are readily available for Unix, X Windows, Macintosh, Next, OS/2, MVS, MS-DOS, and Windows in the public domain. As with FTP and messaging servers on the Internet, nearly all gopher servers are sponsored on systems running a variant of Unix.
