\subsubsection*{\bf Gopher Client}

\begin{itemize}
 \item {\bf Name:} gopher, xgopher version II release 5

 \item {\bf Location:} /usr/local/unixutil/gopher+1.2b2

 \item {\bf Type:} ASCII and X11 client for accessing gopher servers.

 \item {\bf Characterization:} 
                   These clients allow the communication with arbitrary gopher
                   servers.         
                   The Internet Gopher is a distributed document delivery 
                   service. The documents are organized in hierarchical way.
                   The Internet Gopher Servers accept simple requests from
                   the clients and respond by sending the client a 
                   document.

 \item {\bf Functions:}     % Description of the main features of the 
                        % sw-p.
                        % This should include the following subtopics:
       \begin{itemize}
        \item {Invocation:}  {\tt /usr/local/bin/gopher}, 
                             {\tt /usr/local/bin/xgopher}
        \item {Termination:} {\tt Quit Button} % How to leave the sw-p.
        \item {Help:}        {\tt Help Button}, {\tt man gopher}, 
                             {\tt man xgopher}
        \item {Example:}     {\tt xgopher melmac.risc.uni-linz.ac.at} \\
                             This will connect the user with the gopher server
                             at RISC-Linz. The user can then walk through
                             the hierarchy of available files in the same way 
                             as in a usual directory hierarchy.
                             Documents can also be directly fetched from the 
                             server.

        \item {Other important functions:}  {\tt } % A list of important functions.
       \end{itemize}

 \item {\bf Installation:}  For {\tt gopher}: 
                            {\tt setenv PAGER /usr/local/bin/less}.
                            Several other environment variables might be set
                            (e.g.\ for defining with which program mail should
                            be sent). See the man page of {\tt gopher}.
                            One can create an own {\tt \verb+~/.+gopherrc} file
                            containing bookmarks, configuration information
                            etc.

 \item {\bf Manuals:}       % Name, location and version of the manuals for this
                            % sw-p.
 
\end{itemize}
