I'm trying to work out how to present multiple lines of text and avoid the possibility of the client skipping over stuff if it spans more than two pages. A specific example of this is at gopher://gopher.661.org:70/1/if-archive/emulators/trs80 This directory contains a list of games contained in a .zip file. When using the standard Gopher client, the cursor skips from the last "IFDB entry" to the first link right after the list of games: http://iftechfoundation.org/. I use a Perl script to automate generation of these gophermap files from Index files. To see what I'm working with, go to http://ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/emulators/trs80/. How can I tell the client to stop at each of these game names? Right now the relevant section looks something like this: hIFDB entry URL:https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=dy4ok8sdlut6ddj7 hIFDB entry URL:https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=zya3mo3njj58hewi TRS-80 Adventure Game Pack for MS-DOS, compiled by Gunther Schmidl. Contains TRSF-80 revision 0.1, a TRS-80 Model I emulator for DOS by Ron Fries, some walkthroughs, and the following games: iAdventureland foo 70 iPirate Adventure foo 70 iMission Impossible foo 70 iVoodoo Castle foo 70 I'm pretty sure the 'i' type code is wrong, but I don't know what else would be better. -- David Griffith [email protected]
