mkgopher                tool to manage your gopher site
mkgopher -p             adjust gopher directory and file permissions
phlog                   command to list your gopher site on SDF phlog list
/sys/sdf/bin/phlogit    (copy to home directory and edit shell script as
                       required) - indexes your phlog entry and adds a
                       title with a part of the first paragraph as
                       a heading.

-----
The process to add a text file to your phlog is as follows:
*  mkgopher - this is a shell that has most of your gopher commands (use help)
*  cd to your phlog directory
*  edit "filename" to create your new entry
*  quit back to the shell
*  phlogit -t "Title" -f file_just_created
*  phlog (run it twice - first time dequeues, the second queues again to be
  listed on SDF phlog list near the top indicating recent activity
*  mkgopher -p  (or run mkgopher and then run chmod in that shell)
*  May now have to 'touch' ~ftp/pub/users/username/gophermap to get listed on
  SDF
*  Go to gopher://sdf.org/1/phlogs (if using elinks, ctrl-R to reload the
  page)
*  Check that your phlog is listed.
*  Go to the latest entry to ensure it is visible.  If not and you are using
  elinks, ctrl-r to refresh.  If you get permission denied or the latest
  entry is not there, run mkgopher -p again to fix your permissions.
