Well, the idea of the question was rather "how to handle a dot-cr-lf line in a document which has to be served by Gopher?" :-) Say, we have a file like that: - ---- Blah blah<CR/LF> blah<CR/LF> .<CR/LF> blah<CR/LF> - ---- There's a line which contains a single dot, followed by CR/LF chars... If I would be a Gopher server, how would I handle that? If I send that as-is, then there is a pretty big risk that the client will cut the file after that "dot-CR/LF" line, thinking that it is the end of transmition... Matjaž proposed to turn such line into "dot-space-CR/LF". Indeed, that's an interesting solution, as it doesn't change anything visually for the end user, and make sure that the gopher client won't be fooled...
