Gopher is a distributed document search and retrieval protocol designed
for the Internet. It was originally developed at the University of Minnesota, whose mascot is the Golden Gophers.
Gopher's original design goal for sharing documents was similar in
scope to the World Wide Web, and as such has been almost completely
displaced by it.
