       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...
       
       Best regards,
       Mateusz Viste
