The commands that did most of the legwork in converting the petjcr html website
to a gopher one.

These commands were run in a folder: /home/daniel/Desktop/petjcr/
which contained a wgeted version of the petjcr website.

#convert all .php files (which have already been coverted to html when downloaded) to txt files and stick a .txt extension on the end
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec html2text -o /home/daniel/Desktop/petjcrgopher/'{}'.txt -nobs -style pretty '{}' \;
#ditto for files that contain .php and then something after that
##(this could possibly be incorperated into the previous command by changing '*.php' to '*.php*' but I have not tested that)
find . -type f -not -name '*.php' -name '*.php*' -exec html2text -o /home/daniel/Desktop/petjcrgopher/'{}'.txt -nobs -style pretty '{}' \;
#convert all the .htm files to txt files adding a .txt extension to the end
find . -type f -name '*.htm*' -exec html2text -o /home/daniel/Desktop/petjcrgopher/'{}'.txt -nobs -style pretty '{}' \;
#copy all the non html files accross
find . -type f -not -name '*.htm*' -not -name '*.php*' -exec cp '{}' /home/daniel/Desktop/petjcrgopher/'{}'  \;


useful gopher
to make email addresses clickable (at least on this server - Malcom (mas90) has done much magic)
hEmail me<TAB>URL:mailto:[email protected]
where Email me is the text you want to appear, [email protected] is the email address you want mail to go to
<TAB> is the tab character.
It is important that the h is the first character on a line.
