VII.a Pointing to other gopher servers
--------------------------------------
GopherSpace exists because most gopher servers point to other servers.
Pointing to another server simply amounts to defining a link as follows:

	Name=Link to PSU/LCS Server
	Type=1
	Port=70
	Host=psulias.psu.edu
	Path=

Note that it's a directory type, with a null path.  This causes the server at
the host "psulias.psu.edu" on port 70 (the international standard Internet
Gopher TCP/IP port) to respond with it's main menu. Specifying a specific
Path= (remember these are host-specific except for the 1st character) causes
the server to respond with the menu at that directory specification.

This the client to access the directories and files of another Internet Gopher
via the gopher menu system.  The "go4link" pseudo-search function can  be used
as a general service for creating links to gopher hosts' top  directories and
returning them as menu items to the client.  To install this  service on your
gopher server, put the following tuple in a .links file:

	Name=Query a specific Gopher host
	Type=7
	Port=+
	Path=7$go4link
	Host=+

If the client shoots at the item corresponding to this tuple and enters a
Gopher host's Internet address as the search term (e.g., Niord.SHSU.edu), the
gopher server will return a tuple with the following format:

	Name=Link to Gopher host Niord.SHSU.edu on port 70
	Type=1
	Port=70
	Path=
	Host=Niord.SHSU.edu

The client can then shoot at the item corresponding to this tuple, and that
server will respond with its main menu.  If the client specifies a numeric
value as a 2nd search term, that value will be used as the port instead of the
standard port of 70.
