As a lot of us here in gopher space I also wrote my scripts to manage
my gopher hole. As I only knew bash, NetBSD's ksh was new and exciting
for me. So I wrote a couple of ksh scripts: one creates a new entry
and calls `par` to justify the text. It shows the results of
justification using `less` where I can accept or decline it. After
that it calls another script to update the gopher map. This one reads
the file list in the phlog directory, sorts them and creates the
gophermap. The last script allows me to edit an entry by listing all
the entries in the directory and letting me chose one that will be
opened in vim.
I once again reinvented the wheel, but I need a "real" project to
learn a new programming language and this one helped me to learn a lot
about ksh scripting.
Switching from Esperanto to English was also easy as I already had all
the config in variables at the beginning of the scripts. I just
extracted these to a separate file that I simply source at the
beginning of my individual scripts.
