  All right, I'm going to put down a short document about how to
get started on setting up a gopher server.  Right now I'm in the
midst of a major update on an experimental server where I'm going
to install Pygopherd on (gopher://route-add.net runs on Bucktooth),
and I'm also going to see if and how gopher "moles" work (I read
they are the equivalent of CGI scripts for web servers).  Then,
maybe even today, I'll send a first draft with a basic gopher
setup.
