Trying to make it easier for myself to work with a gopher. First thing - organizing gophermap.

I use excellent tutorial ( https://johngodlee.github.io/2019/11/20/gopher.html ), but still struggle with gopher rules of mapping files. So, I dig into documentation and discover for myself operator `=` which can start shell commands like `ls` or `date`.

For example

    =date +%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M:%S

in gophermap prints current date and time.

Next step was toss my files along foldertree, and write autogenerate scripts for every folder of them. For example for 2021 year folder:

    12021	2021
    =ls 2021 -1 | sed 's/^.*$/0\0\t2021\/\0/'

And for Low_Tech folder which has images I have two separate scripts:


    1Low_Tech	Low_Tech
    =ls Low_Tech -1 | grep "txt$" | sed 's/^.*$/0\0\tLow_Tech\/\0/'
    =ls Low_Tech -1 | grep "png$" | sed 's/^.*$/I\0\tLow_Tech\/\0/'


Nice and convinient.
