Introduction One of the first important Internet resources is gopher .
Gopher is both versatile and easy to use.
Using gopher , one can find Internet users' addresses and e-mail to them or find and download files. Most importantly, gopher can be used to access information from a vast collection of computers world-wide. Today most gopher servers have been converted to web servers. The few remaining gopher sites can be accessed through the World-wide web using Netscape or Internet Explorer. In addition, gopher can be used to burrow through large collections of information, looking for what the user wants, just like the gopher animal that burrows through the ground.
