Rice CMS Gopher Client and Server (ver 2.4.2) Freeware The Rice Gopher was developed by Rick Troth of Rice University, Texas. The distribution file contains both a Gopher client and Gopher server for the IBM CMS (VM/CMS) mainframe operating system (because I have no ability to separate the client from the server). The server is based on RXSOCKET (requires TCP/IP version 2) and CMS Pipelines.
