-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- About the gopher site: I'm not sure how "easy" it will be to make the files available via anonymous ftp as well. I know Chael is running an anonymous ftp site on chaos, but I'm not sure where it's directory lives... the gopher data directory is within my own directory hierarchy. It may be hard to overlap the two and preserve the security standards Chael wants to maintain. Disk space is tight so just making a duplicate copy is probably not the way to go ;) However, I do back up the gopher data every month or so (and so does Chael!), and since I will be adding 10 or 15 more files over the next week (from anonymous video rental to magic money) and re-arranging the ones already there, I'd be willing to mail you or anybody else uuencoded, gzip'ed tar files. Since most (all?) files have more than eight character names, producing MSDOS compatible file names may be a problem, since there will be some collisions. And I like gopher! It's great for just browsing around :) For a while I was thinking of an "anonymous mail drop-off/pick-up" where mail sent would be filed in a gopher accessible directory. So for example you could reach Pr0duct Cypher, Deadbeat, Wonderer, etc. by mailing here and waiting for them to read your message via gopher. Problems concerning disk space and the lifetimes of messages would need to be addressed, as well as whether or not they would even use such a system to receive messages.
