Gopher A precursor to the WORLD WIDE WEB developed by the University of Minnesota in order to make distributed information easy to access. Gopher sites are rapidly decreasing in number although there are still quite a few that exist because the effort of converting them to WEB SITES is too large. Gopher sites can be accessed via GOPHER LINKS embedded into WEB PAGES as ANCHORS.
