dealing with lots of lines of text
I'm trying to work out how to present multiple lines of text and avoid the
possibility of the client skipping over stuff if it spans more than two
pages. A specific example of this is at
gopher://gopher.661.org:70/1/if-archive/emulators/trs80
This directory contains a list of games contained in a .zip file. When
using the standard Gopher client, the cursor skips from the last
"IFDB entry" to the first link right after the list of games:
http://iftechfoundation.org/. I use a Perl script to automate generation
of these gophermap files from Index files. To see what I'm working with,
go to http://ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archive/emulators/trs80/.
How can I tell the client to stop at each of these game names?
Right now the relevant section looks something like this:
hIFDB entry URL:https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=dy4ok8sdlut6ddj7
hIFDB entry URL:https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=zya3mo3njj58hewi
TRS-80 Adventure Game Pack for MS-DOS,
compiled by Gunther Schmidl. Contains TRSF-80 revision 0.1,
a TRS-80 Model I emulator for DOS by Ron Fries, some
walkthroughs, and the following games:
iAdventureland foo 70
iPirate Adventure foo 70
iMission Impossible foo 70
iVoodoo Castle foo 70
I'm pretty sure the 'i' type code is wrong, but I don't know what else
would be better.
