Based  on Gopher2.2  I wrote  some  small hacks  using LISTSERV's  interactive
database  search  and it's  message-responses.  I  have two  modifications  to
LISTSERV. One is to ignore the  "interactive limits" for special users and the
second one  is that  GopherD may act  "on behalf" of  network users  i.e. when
GopherD requests  a "List of  local lists" the  command functions as  "tell me
what a user from xyz.some.host would see".
GopherD builds a  filelist in storage (using Pipes). Neither  have I ported it
to 2.3, nor revised for LISTSERV 1.7e,  nor is the code optimized insofar that
redundant requests are avoided. This would  require some work on GopherD and a
tighter coupling of LISTSERV  and GopherD. All this can be done  of course - I
just   don't  have   the  time.   So  whoever   wants  to   see  it,   contact
AWIIMC12.IMC.UniVie.AC.AT [131.130.43.2] on port 70. And whoever wants to look
at the code behind all that - ask me.
