Gopher servers present information to users through a series of menus. By choosing
menu items, the user is led to files or servers on the Internet. Gopher can also retrieve
files because it has a built-in interface to FTP. Note that these addresses are valid for
World Wide Web browsers. If you are using Gopher software, omit gopher://from the
following addresses.
