UM Gopher is fairly picky. I am in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota at the moment and can't check your link, but each line should start with i and be followed by tab, path (err), tab, server (err.host), tab, and port (0). The reference client doesn't skip proper lines of type i. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
