- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q0: What is Gopher?
-
- A0: The Internet Gopher client/server provides a distributed
- information delivery system around which a world/campus-wide
- information system (CWIS) can readily be constructed. While
- providing a delivery vehicle for local information, Gopher
- facilitates access to other Gopher and information servers
- throughout the world.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q1: Where can I get Gopher software?
-
- A1: via anonymous ftp to boombox.micro.umn.edu. Look in the directory
- /pub/gopher
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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/gopher+2.0.tar.Z
- Xwindows (athena) : /pub/gopher/Unix/xgopher.1.3.tar.Z
- Xwindows (Tk) : /pub/gopher/Unix/moog-0.2.tar.Z
- Xwindows (Xview) : /pub/gopher/Unix/xvgopher
- 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 Microsoft Windows Winsock client "The Gopher Book"
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps/gophbook.zip
-
- 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.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q3: Where are there publicly available logins for Gopher?
-
- A3: Here is a short list, use the site closest to you to minimize
- network lag.
-
- Public Logins:
-
- Hostname IP# Login Area
- ------------------------- --------------- ------ -------------
- consultant.micro.umn.edu 134.84.132.4 gopher North America
- ux1.cso.uiuc.edu 128.174.5.59 gopher North America
- panda.uiowa.edu 128.255.40.201 panda North America
- gopher.msu.edu 35.8.2.61 gopher North America
- gopher.ebone.net 192.36.125.2 gopher Europe
- gopher.sunet.se 192.36.125.10 gopher Sweden
- info.anu.edu.au 150.203.84.20 info Australia
- tolten.puc.cl 146.155.1.16 gopher South America
- ecnet.ec 157.100.45.2 gopher Ecuador
- gan.ncc.go.jp 160.190.10.1 gopher Japan
-
- It is recommended that you run the client software instead of
- logging into the public login sites. A client uses the
- custom features of the local machine (mouse, scroll bars, etc.)
- and gives faster response.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q4: How can I add to the information in gopher?
-
- A4: You can do this by running a gopher server. Servers are available
- for a number of systems. Use anonymous ftp to
- boombox.micro.umn.edu (134.84.132.2) and look in /pub/gopher. The
- following servers are available there:
-
- Unix : /pub/gopher/Unix/gopher+2.0.tar.Z
- VMS : /pub/gopher/VMS/
- Macintosh : /pub/gopher/Mac_server/
- VM/CMS : /pub/gopher/Rice_CMS/ or /pub/gopher/Vienna_CMS/
- MVS : /pub/gopher/mvs/
- DOS PC : /pub/gopher/PC_server/
- OS/2 : /pub/gopher/os2
-
- There are several sites that have beta-test source code for VMS
- psualias.psu.edu, via gopher
- niord.shsu.edu, via FTP, precompiled executables
- trln.lib.unc.edu, via gopher
-
- When you have your server ready you can publish it to the world by
- sending e-mail to the maintainters of the "Other gophers" list.
- See Q27 for details.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q5: Who Develops Gopher Software?
-
- A5: Gopher was originally developed in April 1991 by the University
- of Minnesota Microcomputer, Workstation, Networks Center to help
- our campus find answers to their computer questions.
-
- It has since grown into a full-fledged World Wide Information
- System used by a large number of sites in the world.
-
- Many people have contributed to the project, too numerous to
- count.
-
- The people behind the much of the gopher software can be reached
- via e-mail at gopher@boombox.micro.umn.edu, or via paper mail:
-
- Internet Gopher Developers
- 100 Union St. SE #190
- Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA
-
- Or via FAX at:
-
- +1 (612) 625-6817
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q6: How can I set up a "CSO" phone book server? Where is the software?
-
- A6: CSO phone book servers are also known as "qi" servers. The
- software implementation can be gotten via anonymous ftp from
- uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.50) as /pub/qi.tar.Z. You may also
- see this referred to as "ph", which is what most of the clients
- are called. A collected set of clients for Macs, PCs, VMS, VM,
- etc, are in the /pub/ph.tar.Z file.
-
- There is also an archive of the mailing list for qi/ph software on
- the same machine. It's in /pub/info-ph.archive. You may join the
- list by sending email to info-ph-request@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu.
-
- This software is supported by Paul Pomes <p-pomes@uiuc.edu>
- Contact him for more information.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q7: Why can't I access the University of Minnesota's UPI news?
-
- A7: The University of Minnesota has a site license for UPI news, we
- are not allowed to distribute it off of our campus. We get our
- UPI news from Clarinet. For more information about getting UPI
- news send mail to info@clarinet.com. For information about
- setting up your own gopher-UPI server search the gopher-news
- archive for UPI.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q9: What are the type characters for the different Gopher Objects?
-
- A9: Normal IDs.
-
- 0 Item is a file
- 1 Item is a directory
- 2 Item is a CSO (qi) phone-book server
- 3 Error
- 4 Item is a BinHexed Macintosh file.
- 5 Item is DOS binary archive of some sort.
- 6 Item is a UNIX uuencoded file.
- 7 Item is an Index-Search server.
- 8 Item points to a text-based telnet session.
- 9 Item is a binary file! Client must read until the connection
- closes. Beware.
- T TN3270 connection.
-
- Experimental IDs.
-
- s Sound type. Data stream is a mulaw sound.
- g GIF type.
- M MIME type. Item contains MIME data.
- h html type.
- I Image type.
- i "inline" text type (used by panda).
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q10: When I do full-text searches I always get every document back, Why?
-
- A10: This is a problem occasionally encountered with Unix full-text
- indexes. It is caused by setting up the link incorrectly to a
- gindexd port.
-
- The Path= field should be *blank* when pointing to a gindexd
- index.
-
- Otherwise the client will send the path to the gindexd daemon,
- which interprets everything as a keyword. This path is
- likely to contain a pathname that is common to all of the indexed
- files. Thus a search generates hits on everything.
-
- Note that gindexd isn't used much anymore, this question does not
- apply if you are using the built in indexing in the Unix gopher
- server.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q11: When I try to build the UNIX software I get an error from make:
- "Must be a separator on rules line #. Stop" Why?
-
- A11: This is a problem with older makes that don't understand the "include"
- keyword. One easy way to cope with this problem is compiling GNU
- make, which does understand the include keyword.
-
- If this is too difficult, remove the line:
-
- include Makefile.config
-
- from all the Makefiles and paste in a copy of Makefile.config at
- the top of each Makefile.
-
- Or, instead of pasting you can make the client/server by going
- into the appropriate directory and typing:
-
- make -f ../Makefile.config -f Makefile
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q12: What is the relationship between Gopher and (WAIS, WWW, ftp)?
-
- A12: Gopher is intimately intertwined with these other systems.
- As shipped the Unix gopher server has the capability to:
-
- - Search local WAIS indices.
- - Query remote WAIS servers and funnel the results to gopher
- clients.
- - Query remote ftp sites and funnel the results to gopher
- clients.
- - Be queried by WWW (World Wide Web) clients either using
- built in gopher querying or using native http querying.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q13: Are papers or articles describing Gopher available?
-
- A13: Gopher has a whole chapter devoted to it in :

-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q14: On a DECstation I get the error message "/etc/svc.conf no such file
- or directory" when running the gopherd server, why?
-
- A14: This is caused by the chroot() call in gopherd. It can be easily
- fixed by running gopherd with the -c option.
-
- Alternatively you can copy /etc/svc.conf into a directory named
- "etc" inside the gopher-data directory.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q15: The boolean searching terms don't work for my full-text index, why?
-
- A15: This is probably because the searching is being provided by WAIS.
- WAIS opts to return all documents that contain a search phrase
- within certain limits. WAIS searches do return the documents with
- the highest "score" at the top, those documents will have the
- closest relevance.
-
- Alternatively you could get a booleanized version of wais from
- ftp.bio.indiana.edu, or get the new freeWAIS.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q16: When linking the Unix gopher server with WAIS I get undefined
- symbols,
- such as:
-
- log_file_name
- logfile
- PrintStatus
- find_value
- Sources
- NumSources
-
- A17: This happens if you make gopherd before linking in the WAIS ir/ui
- directories. The fix is to "make clean" or remove
- gopherd/{waisgopher.o,Waisindex.o} and then remake gopherd. Or
- link the ir/ui directories first.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q18: Why don't my WAIS indexes work? I never get anything back for searches.
- or Why do I get "Dangling file" error messages in my logfile?
-
- A18: The problem could be in the server. The server should be run
- using the -c option if you want WAIS to work. Another solution is to
- patch the WAIS code so that it doesn't check the files on the disk.
- Search the gopher-news archive for "dangling". This will turn up a
- single document with the patch.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q19: My gopher server doesn't work under inetd, why?
-
- A19: It could be that your inetd server only supports a limited amount
- of arguments. For instance, the maximum number of arguments to an
- inetd server is 5. You can get around this by combining arguments: i.e.
-
- gopherd -I -c
-
- becomes:
-
- gopherd -Ic
-
- You may also leave the port specifier off of the command line.
- The gopher server automagically finds out the port it's running on.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q20: This is not a bug report, just a curiousity. I managed to install
- gopher on my PC, more or less by myself, which is a pretty good
- accomplishment, for someone who hasn't installed hardly anything on a
- PC. I then proceeded to load my PC/TCP kernel, ETHDRV, and try to
- start up gopher. It said it couldn't initialize that stack(?). I have
- to load this whenever I use PC/TCP. Incredibly, when I did not load
- ETHDRV, Gopher came up immediately and telneted to our local server.
- How does it know what kernel to load?
-
- A20 Dr. Science says,
-
- The Internet Gopher program is not actually computer program at
- all, but a collection of magical incantations handed down from Dark
- Age conjurors. It works by sending magical "demons" through the air,
- which scour the world for information, and then return to cast
- illusions containing the answer.
-
- When you use the Gopher, your computer isn't actually doing
- anything at all. Instead, these demons have mesmerized you with an
- evil magical spell, which was invoked by the pattern of
- finger-movements peculiar to the typing of the letters G-O-P-H-E-R on
- your keyboard. This spell transmits demonic information directly to
- your brain.
-
- Scientists aren't certain of the long-term effects of demonic
- mesmirization, although former presidents have suffered only minor
- medical side-effects from it. Indeed, since Magic and Science are
- usually opposed to each other, most Scientists are usually
- close-minded about such issues, and will usually respond with some
- vacuous non-answer about "packet drivers", "stacks", and other such
- jargon.
-
- Unlike conventional scientists, Dr. Science is very open-minded and
- is willing to deal with such issues in a frank and honest manner.
- This is why people come to him with questions, and why they've learned
- to rely on and live by his answers.
-
- Dr. Science
- "I'm not a real doctor; I have a Master's Degree.... in SCIENCE!"
-
- :-) :-) :-) :-)
- There's always room for a little humor in a FAQ..
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q21: Help! I have PC-NFS and want to use the PC-Gopher client. How?
-
- A21: Use a piece of software called PKTMUX, available at fine ftp
- sites everywhere. This will let you use any packet driver
- application.
-
- Or, aquire a client that supports PC-NFS. See Q2.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q22: How do I nuke a hung TCP connection? I can't restart my UNIX
- gopher server unless I get rid of it, and I don't want to reboot!
-
- A22:
-
- Here is an example of using dbx to change a socket from CLOSING to
- CLOSED.
-
- # netstat -A|grep CLOSING
- c4bc5100 tcp 0 11 mymachine.gopher 129.89.8.4.70 CLOSING
- # dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
- ...
- (dbx) 0xc4bc5100+8/1X -- display contents of PCB+8
- c4bc5108: 00000007
- (dbx) assign 0xc4bc5108=0 -- zero it
- 0
- (dbx) q
-
- After a minute or two, the CLOSED socket should disappear.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q23: Is there somewhere I can retrieve a list of announced gopher
- links? I'd like to keep a local, up-to-date list of available gopher
- holes without requiring our users to gopher to umn just to scan
- GopherSpace.
-
- A23: In the Unix client/server distribution is a perl script called
- "gopherdist". Gopherdist can fetch the contents of any point in
- GopherSpace.
-
- To dump the contents of all the North American links from
- gopher.tc.umn.edu do the following:
-
- % gopherdist gopher.tc.umn.edu 70 "1/Other Gopher and Information
- Servers/North America" > .Links
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q24: Why doesn't my unix gopher client display ISO-Latin-1 characters
- properly? BTW I'm using a Sun workstation..
-
- A24: It is the client's problem, the server is perfectly 8-bit transparent.
- The BSD curses library uses bit 8 in order to remember, whether a
- character has been displayed reverse. So use just /usr/5bin/cc and
- you get the System V curses version which is 8 bit clean.
-
- Note that this may be a problem under other versions of UNIX too...
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q25: What is veronica?
-
- A25: veronica: Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to
- Computerized Archives.
-
- veronica offers a keyword search of most gopher-server menu titles
- in the entire gopher web. As archie is to ftp archives, veronica
- is to gopherspace. A veronica search produces a menu of gopher
- items, each of which is a direct pointer to a gopher data source.
- Because veronica is accessed through a gopher client, it is easy
- to use, and gives access to all types of data supported by the
- gopher protocol.
-
- To try veronica, select it from the "Other Gophers" menu on
- Minnesota's gopher server, or point your gopher at:
-
- Name=veronica (search menu items in most of GopherSpace)
- Type=1
- Port=70
- Path=1/veronica
- Host=futique.scs.unr.edu
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q26: What e-mail discussions lists are active for Gopher?
-
- A26: There are a couple of places where Gopher software and
- development is discussed.
-
- The USENET newsgroup comp.infosystems.gopher is the biggest
- discussion list.
-
- Gopher discussion also takes place on the mailing list
- gopher-news. To subscribe send a message to:
-
- gopher-news-request@boombox.micro.umn.edu
-
-
- A mailing list for VMS developers is also available, send e-mail
- to listserv@trln.lib.unc.edu with a message that contains
-
- sub VMSgopher-L firstname lastname
-
- A mailing list for MVS gopher developers and users is also
- available. To subscribe to the list, send mail to
- LISTSERVER@LISTS.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU containing:

- Q27: How do I get my Gopher (whois/cso/library catalog) listed in gopher menus?
-
- A27: If your gopher server is in Europe, send mail to:
-
- gopher@ebone.net
-
- Otherwise send mail to:
-
- gopher@boombox.micro.umn.edu
-
