This application lets your Mac function as a Gopher 
server. 

To run this software you will need the have MacTCP 
installed on your Macintosh. You will have to configure 
MacTCP so that your Mac has a static IP address; you 
will also need to register a name for your Macintosh 
with your local domain name system. Once you launch the 
Gopher program your Macintosh is an internet Gopher 
server. While running as a server, your Mac will make 
everything in the folder the Gopher was run from 
available to Gopher clients. Note that you can either 
run the Gopher server in the foreground under Finder 
(before System 7) or in the background (MultiFinder or
System 7). 

The Gopher's Helper is a hypercard 2.0 stack that can be 
used to easily attach long names to files and 
directories and establish links to entities that either 
are on other gopher servers or are pointers (links)  to 
index servers, CSO nameservers, and the like. See the 
internet Gopher Protocol document for more information 
about valid types of internet gopher entities. 

If you have questions, bugs to report, or comments you
