I added the link mentioned in the thread below to have a redirect from
gopher+ to gopher at gopherproject.org. You can configure your local go‐
pher(1) to your will in gopherrc.
For setting it in the gopherrc the syntax seems to be specified via set‐
ting »home:«. You can read the details of the following lines in the GS‐
fromLink() function in GSgopherobj.c.
As Kim said, gopher(1) is not backwards compatible to gopher+. Gopher+
is a really ugly and not really thought out protocol. Only people using
the original client will see the redirect until people have switched
over to saner clients like sacc(1).
Sincerely,
