   to Computerized Archives.  Veronica offers a keyword search of
   most gopher menu titles in the entire gopher web.  As
   archie is to FTP archives, Veronica is to Gopherspace.
   A Veronica search produces a menu of Gopher items, each of
   which is a direct pointer to a Gopher data source.  Because
   Veronica is accessed through a Gopher Client, it is easy to
   use, and gives access to all types of data supported by the
   Gopher protocol.

   To try Veronica, select it from the "Other Gophers" menu on
   Minnesota's gopher server, or point your gopher at:

    Name=veronica (search menu items in most of GopherSpace)
    Type=1
    Port=70
    Path=1/veronica
    Host=gopher.scs.unr.edu
