1. "Gopher is a networked information retrieval and publishing tool, based on the concept of hierarchical menus." (w3.org)
2. "[Gopher's] central goals were, as stated in RFC 1436: a file-like hierarchical arrangement that would be familiar to users, a simple syntax, a system that can be created quickly and inexpensively, [and] extensibility of the file system metaphor; allowing addition of searches for example." (Wikipedia: Gopher (protocol), 6.23.23 UTC 00:40)
3. "First, the client establishes a TCP connection with the server on port 70, the standard gopher port. The client then sends a string followed by a carriage return followed by a line fee (a 'CR + LR' sequence). This is the selector, which identifies the document to be retrieved." (Wikipedia: Gopher (protocol), 6.23.23 UTC 00:40)
