# 2025-11-10 - Convert Geomyidae And Gophernicus Gophermap Format
Recently i wanted to convert between geomyidae and gophernicus
gophermaps. They are both simple formats, so it is fairly
simple to do in AWK. Here are scripts to convert in both
directions.
* gph2map.awk [1]
* map2gph.awk [2]
Even more minimal would be to have lynx and geomyidae do the
work for you. For example, this log entry is served from tilde.pink,
which runs geomyidae.
$ URL="gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/log/2025-11-10-convert-"
$ URL="${URL}geomyidae-and-gophernicus-gophermap-format/"
$ lynx -source "$URL" >gophermap
To convert the entire phlog to gophermap format, you could use my
gopher-get.tcl script [3].
$ tclsh gopher-get.tcl "gopher://tilde.pink/1/~bencollver/log/"
Note that gopher-get.tcl depends on TclCurl. Slackware package [4].
