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].
