For those of you who only have "Level One" Internet connectivity, this week must have been especially trying. Fortunately, thanks to a server program called GopherMail, those of you with Level One connectivity can now access all of the neat Gopher sites we talked about this "week" using nothing but a simple e-mail letter There are really just four basic steps to using GopherMail: You send an e-mail letter to a / 6.

It may take the GopherMail server several hours to respond to our letter -just like every other Internet server, GopherMail is almost always incredibly overburdened - but eventually we will receive the following e-mail letter from the GopherMail minimum, you should always use the server that is closest to you.

Before we send the letter back to the GopherMail server, we need to mark which menu item(s) we want to select. To do this, we put an "X" next to the menu item(s) that we want the GopherMail server to an error message from the GopherMail server when we forward the letter back to the server. (In MAP04: E-MAIL, we asked you to contact your local Internet service provider to learn how to "include text in a reply (and how to edit this text)." You NEED t to the GopherMail server before our responses can be processed. Notice that the letter tells us to "remove this message and all e-mail headers above it prior to returning it to the GopherMail server." If we don't do this, we run the chance of getting ave "/" at the end of them are menus, and entries that have a "." at the end of them are documents. The only difference between this Gopher menu and one that we access through a Gopher client or through Telnet is that we have to send our responses back, put the keyword in the subject line of the letter that you send back to the GopherMail server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Homework: Have a great weekend! We've decided to be kind and move the pop quiz to next week. You may want to review FTP and Gopher just to be on the safe side, though. If you do NOT have regular Gopher access through a client or through Telnet, play around with GopherMail. You may want to get the help documentmmand line, and the following menu appears on our screen: Rice CMS Gopher 2.4.0 GOPHER.SQUIRREL.COM 1/8 (root menu) Information about the Squirrel Gopher Server nd directories and places them on a temporary Gopher menu that you can browse through! This temporary menu works just like any other Gopher menu! Let's take a look at a basic Veronica search. we access my site's Gopher client by typing "gopher" on the cobase of over 5,500 Gopher servers and over 10 million Gopher "items" for files and directories whose titles contain your keyword. What makes Veronica REALLY amazing is that it not only finds these files and directories, it also GETS all of these files ato Computerized Archives - is a search tool that allows you to quickly scan Gopherspace for particular files and directories. Veronica is a program that you access through Gopher. Veronica asks you to enter a keyword, and it then searches through a datanding neat files and leaving bookmarks, is fun for a while. Soon, however, you are going to want to find a way to locate stuff in Gopherspace a little more quickly. That's where Veronica comes in.

Your client is set up so that you can use custom features not available through a telnet connection (i.e. mouse, scroll bars, etc.). You will also find that your provider's Gopher client will run much faster of Gopher). You might be better off if you telneted to another North American site. Also, if your site is running its own Gopher client software, it is STRONGLY recommended that you use your site's Gopher client software instead of telnto you. Also, if you are in North America, please remember that the consultant.micro.umn.edu address is the most used Gopher address in the entire world (this is the address of the University of Minnesota's Gopher server - the birthplace gopher Sweden info.anu.edu.au info Australia tolten.puc.cl gopher South America ecnet.ec gopher Ecuador gan.ncc.go.jp gopher Japan Please use the site that is closest du gopher North America ux1.cso.uiuc.edu gopher North America panda.uiowa.edu panda North America gopher.msu.edu gopher North America gopher.ebone.net gopher Europe gopher.sunet.se from the Gopher FAQ (1) and it lists the telnet addresses and logins for just a few of the publicly accessible Gopher sites: Telnet Address Login Area ------------------------- ------ ------------- consultant.micro.umn.e, however, all you will see on your screen after you type "gopher" will be an error message.

Just type gopher at your system's command prompt, and watch what happens. If your provider has a Gopher client, your Gopher client's root menu will appear on your screen. If your site does not have a Gopher client provider's machine, through a telnet connection to a publicly-accessible Gopher site, or through e-mail (we'll talk about e-mail access on Friday).

For example, to connect directly with the info.asu.edu Gopher we would type gopher info.asu.edu at my system's command prompt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Local Versus Distant Information Spend any amount of time in Gopherspace, and you are bound to run into roadblocks.

Fortunately, they all work on the same basic principles, press "m" or "s". If you are telneting into a Gopher client, or if the file is small, your best bet would be to type "m".

Sites can "disappear" for as little as a second or they can shut down and disappear forever. If you are having problems accessing something in Gopherspace, wait a little while mind any time you are having problems with Gopher: Gopherspace is incredibly dynamic. Sites "appear" and "disappear" every second of every day. Internet traffic, power outages, weather, scheduled repairs, and even squirrelsr Internet service. If you are having problems accessing a distant Gopher file or menu, your problem isn't with your local provider, it is with the distant site that you are trying to access! There are two things that you need to keep inest mistakes that people make is they assume that this "Empty Menu" error is a problem with their local Internet service provider's system. IT ISN'T!!

The workshop was a one-month workshop which taught or" of the Internet - a client/server package called "Gopher". (If you have Level One connectivity, we will show you on "Friday" how to access Gopher using nothing but E-mail!!) Gopher was developed at the University of Minnesota, and it is a menu- dris heard from his teachers ... often. What does this story have to do with this lesson? Well, Crispen is proud to announce that he has just finished learning the "long division" of the Internet (FTP). This "week" we are going to start using the "calculat When Crispen was in elementary school, he was a rather "spirited" child.

Gopher's interconnected menus allow you to "burrow" deeper and deeper until you find the information that you are looking for.

In a UNIX Gopher client menu, the symbols access to the same information that everyone else has. When you access your Gopher client, you will start out in your client's "root menu". Each root menu is different, but they all have the same basic stuff. We are going to be using a UNIX Gopher clnt to take you on a little tour of "Gopherspace." We are going to start our tour at GOPHER.SQUIRREL.COM - a gopher site that we have totally made up for this tour. Remember, it does not matter where you start - as long as you are in Gopherspace, you haveYou could even say that Gopher actually "goes fer" the information that you want). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Tour of Gopherspace We'll explain Gopher access and Gopher commands "tomorrow." "Today," we wa inside the "stadium". Why is Gopher so special? Well, unlike Archie which just tells you where the information that you want can be found, Gopher actually goes out, GETS the information that you want, and puts the information on your computer screen! (G in that stadium, regardless of which gate you entered through. Gopherspace is set up the same way. Your "gate" is the client that you use to enter Gopherspace. Once are in, however, you are free to roam around and take advantage of everything that isemember that your ticket to that event told you which gate you had to pass through to enter the stadium. Once you entered the stadium, however, you were free to roam around, buy a hot dog, and make fun of the opponent's fans. You had access to EVERYTHINes, and all of these interconnected Gopher libraries make up what is called "Gopherspace." Think of Gopherspace as being a huge stadium filled with information on a myriad of different topics. If you have ever been to a major sporting event, you will ro menu-driven libraries are interconnected, anyone who has access to our squirrel library will also have access to the yak fur library (and vice versa).

We access Crispen's provider's WWW browser, and the following appears on his scren's browser highlights the links by making them a different color than the rest of the text. There was no way for Crispen to use different colors in his letter, so he has highlighted the links in this example by surrounding them with a (* *).

Finally, in real life Crispeoing to be using the UF WWW Browser for CMS to access this page. We'll talk a little more about how you can access a WWW browser in a few minutes, but we first want to show you what a basic Web page looks like. The UF WWW Browser for CMS is the browser ta page from a color magazine! Most graphical browsers use a mouse, and you point-and-click on a highlighted link to access it. The URL for the sample Web page that we are going to use "today" is http://ua1vm.ua.edu/~vmhttpd/index.html and we are g, though). Graphical browsers allow you to access not only text, but also pictures and sound (a.k.a. "hypermedia"). In fact, these pictures can be put in Web documents (a.k.a. Web pages), making that Web page look less like a Gopher menu and more like like the Gopher menus that we saw last week. You move the cursor up and down the screen, select a highlighted link, press enter or return, and you are automatically taken to a new document or file (your fill screen browser may work differently than thisscribe, but line-mode browsers work a little like FTP inasmuch as you type a command, get some information on your screen, type a new command, get some more information, and so on ... A full screen browser puts a menu on your screen that looks a little ple WWW browser works. There are three basic types of WWW browsers available: line-mode browsers, full screen browsers (like Lynx), and graphical browsers (like Mosaic). Line-mode browsers are about as user un-friendly as you can get. This is hard to defact, a lot of people still use the initials and call them "U-R-Ls." Crispen personally prefer calling them "earls" because "earls" rhymes with "squirrels," but the choice of what you call them is completely up to you :) Let's take a look at how a samIllinois at Urbana-Champaign (*WWW*) - The Alabama Supercomputer Network (*WWW*) - NASA Information Services via (*WWW*) Leisure: - (*Intertext Magazine*) - Electronic Fictional Magazine at The University of Michigan - (*Wiretap*) - a gopher to Cupertino, California - (*NNR*) - UA1VM's Network News Reader Other Neat Stuff: - The University of Alabama Library's On-Line (*Card Catalog*) - a (*map*) of The University of Alabama campus e access to a Web browser through your site, you may still be able to access a Web browser through telnet.

MOST service providers can NOT support a Web browser unless you have a SLIP or PPP connection. Through a telnet connection to a publicly-accessible Web browser.

If you do not have a SLIP or PPP connection, contact your provider BEFORE you store a Web reader on your own computer and double-check th on your own machine. Until recently, you had to have a SLIP or PPP connection to do this. Some providers - providers who FLOODED Crispen's mailbox when he did not talk about the special Level 2.0002746278546723 access that they offer - now access the Web. There are three ways that you can do this: Through a browser stored on your local Internet service provider's machine. Ask your provider if your site has a Web browser, and how you can access it. Through a browser storedthat you want to access. In Lynx, you just select the "GO" link on the browser's start-up page; in most graphical browsers (like Mosaic), there is usually an "Open URL" option in one of the menus. (1) Before you can do this, however, you have to first ow the resource's URL. *HOW* you do that depends on the browser that you use.

If you think Gopher is neat, wait until you start playing around on the Web :) Unfortunately, we don't have six weeks to talk about the Web - we only have "two days." Because of this, we are going to go through the Web like Shaccess methods are pretty straight-forward. Here is a list of some of the more common access methods that you are going to see listed in the first part of URLs: method what it stands for ------ ------------------------- little like FTP addresses, don't they? The first part of an URL - the stuff before the colon - tells the browser how to access that particular file. For example, to access ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors your browser would use FTP. Most of the about URLs. Here are a few basic URLs: file://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors/msdos/graphics/gifkit.zip ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/mirrors http://info.cern.ch:80/default.html news://alt.hypertext telnet://dra.com Gee ... those look a for you to bounce from one link to another without ever knowing the exact address of where you are, or even how you got there. If you ever want to jump directly to a particular Internet resource, however, you are going to need to know a little bit moreut it, giving every Internet resource a unique address is the hard part. Once you have given something an address, linking to it is pretty easy :) What is really special about the Web is that the Web does all of this "behind the scenes." It is possiblehe past three weeks can be done using nothing but a Web browser! The Web is able to accomplish all of this thanks to something called URLs ("earls") - Universal Resource Locators. URLs list the exact location of ANY Internet resource. If you think abothe Web through something called a "browser." A browser can read documents, fetch documents, access files by FTP, read Usenet newsgroups, telnet into remote sites, and even travel around Gopherspace. In short, everything that we have talked about over tde Web is based on hypertext. It is possible for you to go roaming around the Web, bouncing from document to document, using nothing but the links in those documents! Just as you can access Gopherspace through a Gopher server or client, you can access ogram or the "help" menus in the latest Microsoft packages, you have already experienced hypertext. You "select" a highlighted word - usually by clicking on it with a mouse - and you are taken into an entirely new document or help screen. The World Wient somewhere else in the world - and this new document could even have links to OTHER documents around the world, and so on. Sound too good to be true? It isn't, thanks to something called "hypertext." If you have ever played with Apple's Hypercard pre able to take these links one step further. Instead of linking menus, we could link DOCUMENTS together. You could read one document, find a keyword in that document that really interests you, touch that keyword, and automatically be taken to a NEW documhis because the menus that we travelled through had links to menus and files that were located at other Gopher sites. Because Gopher menus are linked together, a whole world of information is available to us with just a few keystrokes! Imagine if we wertime comes, however, let's talk about the BASICS of the Web. Last week we showed you how most Gopher menus are linked together. We started out in the gopher.squirrel.com root menu, and eventually ended up at the SURAnet gopher menu. We were able to do terman went through Georgia (1). That's the bad news.
