the [gopher protocol](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)) was created in 1991. it didn't survive long due to [draconic licensing](http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/vms/networking/gopher/gopher-software-licensing-policy.ancient).

|
|
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](gopher://envs.net/),
|
|
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.<br />
|
|
see [this example](https://github.com/gophernicus/gophernicus/blob/master/README.gophermap) 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`](https://lynx.browser.org/)
|
|
- `lynx gopher://envs.net`
|
|
- [`vf1`](https://github.com/solderpunk/VF-1)
|
|
- `vf1 gopher://envs.net`
|
|
- [`bombadillo`](https://tildegit.org/sloum/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`<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
otherwise, you can use our [http proxy](https://gopher.envs.net/envs.net/) to browse the gophernet.
