Announcement of a new gopher server at Los Alamos Nat'l. Labs., New Mexico:
gopher.lanl.gov



Date: Thu, 17 Mar 1994 09:51:06 -0700 (MST)
From: jeffj@NIS5.LANL.GOV(Jeffrey Johnson)
Subject: New Gopher Service Available

Now available!
                   ----------------------------------

We are now running our own gopher server to facilitate easy access to
group information. Currently, there are plans to  make the following
available:

    Searchable abstracts of group publications
    Foreign travel reports
    A searchable listing of group email addresses
    Pointers to other handy LANL services

At the moment you will not find much information published, but we're
hoping that that will change. If you have any  suggestions about what
should be published, please let me know by sending email to
jeffj@nis5.lanl.gov. Keep in mind  that published information can be text-
only and that it must be non-sensitive information only.  For the moment,
the information on our server can be read by anyone on the  Internet.
Graphics and sound files can also be distributed over the network, but no
mixture of the three is yet possible.  A World Wide Web server is coming
soon, which will allow us greater flexibility in what we can publish on
the network.

Access through the LANL Server:
 +-------------------------------
 1.   Start your gopher software - it should automatically  connect to
      the main LANL gopher server. (TurboGopher for  Macs, HGopher for
      PC's running Windows)
 2.   Select 'Information by Division'
 3.   Select 'Nonproliferation and International Security'
 4.   Select 'NIS-5 Information'

You should now be connected to the NIS-5 Gopher server. Feel  free to
explore. The 'Information by Division' section under  the main LANL server
also contains pointers to all current laboratory Gopher and World Wide Web
servers, so this is a good place to find information about other groups
who run servers.
