well I'm just trying to figure out how to make the gopher menu and mod that
file to link to basic docs that the gopher server renders. 

I read in a book Linux Reference Bible (older book) about gopher and for a
user they create .link files and edit it to point various files (data, sound,
image) based on the format in the .link file. 

I've read of gophermap, but not sure what exactly it is. I've looked over the
RFC and haven't noticed a file structure. 

so I'm not trying to bring a server online, i'm trying to create the content
on an existing gopher server. 

I've never seen someones gopher content directory without it being through
gopher like using:
lynx gopher://sdf.org:70/1 

then browsing the content. 

my access on sdf.org is limited, and I'm still waiting for validation,
although I don't think validation will change my ability to list another
users home directory. 

I hope I'm making more sense.
