Hello there, I've been lurking this mailing list for a few days, and I have an easy question for you all.. but first, I guess I have to introduce myself :) I am a boy from Italy, 18 in a month or so, and I'm interested in all the technologies that have been "forgotten", just like Gopher. Too bad I didn't live the first Gopher era, but I was a bit too young... :) I set up a gopher server at my place (gopher.sogno.net), and have moved into it some files which where only available via http (at www.sogno.net); I plan to remove them for the web and to let my visitors use hurg. I still have to learn stuff about .names and other 'modification files', since I only know how to set up .links files, but I'll take my time :) The question is: how wide should I make the text files available via gopher? 80 columns? Yes, I know it's stupid, but you never know... :P

TIA Daniele

ps: i'll have a look at pygopherd when school will let me breathe a little more :( right now i'm stuck with the revised gopherd.. -- Daniele Nicolucci (Jollino) - jollino@sogno.net Web applications programmes (www.webdreamers.net) IRC Operator on Discussioni.Org (www.discussioni.org) Mantainer of gopher://gopher.sogno.net:70
