"gopher retrieve"

[wmelchior at ntet.nctr.fda.gov]

I been using the Ohio State VMS gopher client to browse in the biogopher 
hole at Johns Hopkins.  When I search in the PDB database, the files end 
with the line

"DATA TRUNCATED, FOR ENTIRE RECORD USE GOPHER RETRIEVE ..."

What is "gopher retrieve"?  Is it a feature of clients other than VMS, or 
is there something else that I don't know about.

Thanks, Bill
