The idea is simple - a Gopher linked list. Everyone simply put a CGI script into their Gopherspace, which links from another person's same CGI script. The CGI script shows anything that your predecessor provides, and adds your own input. When someone links your CGI script, they have your predecessor's and your input, then adds theirs. To use CGI in sdf.org's Gopherspace, simply create a "cgi-bin" directory under the "gopher" directory. CGI scripts' filename should be "something.cgi", with permission 754 (rwxr-xr--). This can be set by using: chmod 754 something.cgi The URL to the CGI script, if it is mine, would be: gopher://sdf.org/0/users/aonareile/cgi-bin/propagate.cgi By any chance if you are using Lynx, go to my CGI script's link and press on "=" will show the details. Otherwise, go into the page that is generated by the CGI script, then press capital letter "G" to show the current URL. Below is an example CGI script: ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ #!/bin/sh ##### Edit these ##### # The CGI script from your buddy LastQuestion="gopher://sdf.org/0/users/aonareile/cgi-bin/banner.cgi" # Leave blank to start a new chain YourName="aonareile" YourAnswer="To propagate is to absorb and emit." YourQuestion="If you use one word to describe your past year, what would it be?" ##### Keep these (or edit if you know what you are doing) ##### if [ -n "$LastQuestion" ]; then /usr/pkg/bin/curl -s -m 10 $LastQuestion echo -e ' ' echo -e ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -' echo -e ' ' fi echo -e ' ['$YourName']' if [ -n "$LastQuestion" ]; then echo -e ' My answer:\t'$YourAnswer echo -e ' ' fi echo -e ' My question:\t'$YourQuestion
