WHAT IS?• Is a TCP/IP

application layer protocol designed for distributing, searching, and

retrieving documents over

the Internet.

Origins• The original

Gopher system was released in

late spring of 1991 by

Mark McCahill, Farhad

Anklesaria, Paul Lindner,

Daniel Torrey, and

Bob Alberti of the

University of Minnesota.

Its central goals were, as stated in RFC 1436

• A file-like hierarchical arrangement that

would be familiar to users.

• A simple syntax.

• A system that can

be created quickly

and inexpensi

vely.

• Extending the file system

metaphor, such as searches.

• The World Wide Web was in its infancy in 1991, and

Gopher services quickly became

established.
