 Nu> Very cool! This is quite relevant to my interests ;) I plan on creating a

Writing back through my account on Xibalba, just because... Anyway, the main
focus of my Gopher is going to be preserving the freeware and shareware that is
 of use/interest and is even less well-preserved than a lot of commercial
stuff. One area I'm especially interested in is software that started out as
commercial software or shareware but as been released as freeware since. The
authors of such programs made a valuable gift by doing so, but more and more of
 this stuff is just quietly disappearing as websites go dark.

I do plan on raiding your archives, though, even if a lot of it won't fit on my
 Gopher.
