The EnviroLink Network is proud to announce the opening of EnviroGopher,
the environmental information gopher server.

EnviroGopher contains archives of the EnviroLink Networks, as well as
a compilation of many other on- and off-line information.
EnviroGopher presents this information in a simple and easy format
that is self-explanatory. Try it out, experiment with it, let us
know what you think. Remember that this is still in development
stage, so there will be many more nifty features added in the future.

There are several ways in which to access EnviroGopher:

Telnet to EnviroGopher
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
type "telnet envirolink.hss.cmu.edu"
username: gopher
password: envirolink

****WARNING: The Gopher Application will be started immediately, this
release has several bugs that we are trying to work out. There will
be changes in the near future to this form of access.

>>>see the bottom of this message for other gopher servers that you
can log in to, and then switch to EnviroGopher<<<

The Gopher Application -- Get it for your computer!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are many different types of Gopher Applications, they are
usually a lot easier to use than logging in directly to the server.
Experiment with them and see which one you like the best.

Step 1: If you are on a workstation, type "gopher
envirolink.hss.cmu.edu" (if this doesn't work, then you have to access
the Gopher through other means, i.e. telnet or by getting the
application through step 2)

Step 2: If you are on a PC of any sort, there is a compatible
application for you that is available by anonymous FTP from:
boombox.micro.umn.edu in the /pub/gopher directory.

>>Once You Have the Application or Are on Your Own Gopher Server<<

Almost every Gopher server has a directory that says, "Exploring
Other Gopher Servers" Choose this directory and then look under
"North America" and then "General" under the gopher name:
EnviroGopher.

Choose this and you are in!

*******************************************************
For Gopher Administrators:
