the gopher protocol was created in 1991. it didn't survive long due to draconic licensing.
we're trying to keep this cool corner of the web alive.
# user gopher#
main gopher page: gopher://envs.net
envs.net serves user gopherholes from your ~/public_gopher
directory.
to get listed on the main gophermap, make some changes to your root gophermap. the root gophermap diffs against the default gophermap that was included with your account.
if a file called gophermap
exists in the directory you're currently
browsing to in gopher, it will get processed and displayed.
see this example for more information on file types and special chars.
one of the coolest item types supported in gophernicus is =
which allows you
to include other gophermaps or the output of executables.
you can even make your whole gophermap executable and it will be run through whatever interpreter you specify in the shebang.
browse gopher-sites#
if you're currently connected from a envs.net shell, you can use the following browser.
lynx
lynx gopher://envs.net
vf1
vf1 gopher://envs.net
bombadillo
bombadillo gopher://envs.net
if you want to access the gophersite in your public_gopher dir, use the following link structure:
gopher://envs.net/1/~username
otherwise, you can use our http proxy to browse the gophernet.
