web gopher client, product of boredom

So I was stuck at work, and should have gone to sleep. Instead I spent an hour writing a gopher client for the web. Have a play if you like; it's got some formatting ideas in (especially in the way it handles information lines) that I wanted to experiment with. Other than that, it's as buggy as all get out. And it doesn't do searches, or retrieve any kind of picture files, or have proper error handling, or anything. Play with it anyway.

Having said that, I think it's currently the only example of its genre. (quux.org used to have something vaguely comparable, but no longer.)

Gopher is much simpler than RGTP. :) Right, I think I'm probably tired enough to sleep now...
