Id-ten-t Noobs shouldn't be allowed to play with such mysterous and powerful toys. Then there is Hashnix. The village where noobs are allowed to play. So this post is being created by the seriously reviewed script that was originally written for a different platform. It is designed to envoke nano and allow me to create a post. Once the post is complete the script goes on to update both the gophermaps and index.gmi files. Particular THANKS goes out to kona, spuos, ingrix and flipperzero for all of your insights into this little puzzle. Unfortuantly, as of this writing, there seems to be no way to pass the TAB needed to make the gophermap "live". When I close this post I/We will see if my cludge 'fix' at least reminds me to address the broken toy. In 3...2.. ADDITION: .1 And it worked. The cludge fix? Before the end of the scipt it envokes nano /home/pa2/public_gopher/phlog/gophermap so I can manually insert the TAB and remove the \t. Go figger. Sometimes the easiest answer is the ... easiest answer. *Grin*
