- . I would like to have Gopher branch out of the gopher directory tree
- . to another subdirectory outside the gopher directory tree but in
- . the same unix file system.
- .
- . I am trying to bring up a Gopher 1.01 unix server and found that gopher
- . will not follow a symbolic link and my system manager vetoed
- . using a hard link.
- .
- . One site appeared to use another port an the same gopher server?
- . Is this the only way to so this?
-
- True, this is one way of doing it. A better way is:
-
- 1) Run the Unix server with the -c option.
- 2) Make symbolic links from any other dir/file to the gopher-data
- directory.
-
- Easy, you could even do this:
-
- ln -s /usr/man/cat1 /home/gopher-data/Man_Pages/cat1
