GOPHER searches for strings in a full-text way. GOPHER does NOT search
sequence data (yet). If you happen to be on my server,
Internet Gopher Information Client v0.7
EMBL CD-ROM release
--> 1. Simultaneous search in all XXEMBL XEMBL EMBL sections <?>
2. search for a key word in FUN section <?>
3. search for a key word in INV section <?>
4. search for a key word in MAM section <?>
...
10. search for a key word in ROD section <?>
11. search for a key word in SYN section <?>
12. search for a key word in UNA section <?>
then you get asked at the bottom of the screen as
Index word(s) to search for:
If you type a name there, e.g., xu, the screen will look like
Simultaneous search in all XXEMBL XEMBL EMBL sections : xu
--> 1. X59720; S.cerevisiae chromosome III complete DNA sequence.
2. M87549; Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast homolog of recA (Dmc1) g.
3. M37743; S.cerevisiae histone HTB1 mRNA, 3' end..
4. M74293; Schizosaccharomyces pombe byr2 gene, complete cds..
5. M80547; Ustilago maydis URBS1 protein (urbS1) gene, complete cd.
6. M16153; D.melanogaster Notch locus gene, exon 1..
7. M16149; D.melanogaster Notch locus gene, exon 2..

--More--(47%)
and the 'MORE' at the bottom of the screen tells you to proceed with
<SPACE>. If you type 'q', or did review all data, the bottom line changes to
Press <RETURN> to continue, <s> to save, or <p> to print:
There, typing 's' gives you
Enter save file name:
You enter a save file name there, and the data get saved on local disk.
If this isn't good for you, you need to find a gopher client 1.0 or later
which permits also to send the data per MAIL to you.
