   I imagine it would be very easy to write scripts to pull in what ever   
   regular www site you might like and move it to gopher. I found it sad that   
   gemini came into being and split the energies between gopher and gemini.   
      
   I will have to remember magical.fish. Gohper works beautifully in links!
