It's interesting that you put it like this, because that is almost how the gophermaps in my bucktooth can work. You can put in plain text and it autowraps it to 65 chars. Instead of putting the typechar at the beginning of the line, just put in a space and the server figures it out for you (this is how I have almost all of my menus now, out of laziness). It supports putting in a url as the selector, and if it is a gopher:// url, it automatically "flattens it".

So you could just put

GOPHER TURNS 10 / GOPHER 3.0 RELEASED gopher://gopher.quux.org:70/h/3.0.0.html

Or

GOPHER TURNS 10 / GOPHER 3.0 RELEASED 3.0.0.html

And it would work. Also, if anybody wants to see how views work in gopher0,gopher+,html, I put up some papers in my gopherhole which come in dvi,pdf,LaTeX. All I had to do was copy (for example) pyramid.dvi pyramid.pdf pyramid.tex into the pyramid.dir directory, and the rest was handled by the server.

Anyways, the hole is at (gopher:// or http://) sugaku.homeunix.org and if you access it as http you can view it in cool themes (default is flames, which I fixed up to work properly in Netscape now).
