The :help page is not really part of the application as it's just linking to your gopher page, right? gopher://colorfield.space:70/1/bombadillo-info

Would you consider including this page in the repo so changes could be suggested?

Additionally, what do you think about having the help page included locally with the application? This would mean that it would be available in case there is some sort of network issue, or if your server is unavailable.

I am definitely fine with including it in the repo so that changes can be suggested. At present, bombadillo is not able to read a gophermap from a local file so the command would, for the time being, still need to link out to a server. I'll get it added into the repo tomorrow though!

I totally flaked out on this. I am adding it to my to do list. Sorry about the long delay. In the short term, adding the file will be a good fix. in the long term I think a makefile or some form of script to install the application onto the path and add a man file would be the good way to go.

I have updated the repo to include the aforementioned file and updated the README to mention its existence. I am going to close this issue and open a new one to get a proper installer built as well as a man page.
