 <para>
 <command>gopher</command> began as a distributed campus information service 
 at the University of Minnesota. Gopher allows the user to access information 
 on Gopher servers running on Internet hosts.</para>
 
 <para>
 Gopher is an Internet information browsing service that uses a menu-driven 
 interface. Users select information from menus, which may return another 
 menu or display a text file. An item may reside on a Gopher server you 
 originally queried, or it may be on another Gopher server (or another host). 
 Gopher can <quote>tunnel</quote> from one Gopher to another without the 
 user knowing that the server and/or host machine have changed. Gopher keeps 
 the exact location of computers hidden from the user, providing the 
 <quote>illusion</quote> of a single, large set of interconnected menus. 
 </para>
 
 <para>
 Gopher permits the user to record an item's location in a 
 <quote>bookmark</quote> thereby allowing users to follow a 
 <quote>bookmark</quote> directly to a particular item without 
 searching the menu system. Gopher menus are not standardized, inasmuch as 
 each Gopher server is individually determined.
