That's nice.  I've copied that binary to my ~/bin/,  and it runs without
crashing,  but it outputs this message:

	Loading /home/bencollver/local/share/slrn/slang/slrn.sl

....so it looks like it depends of auxiliary files inside your HOME.

Your gopher site is very high quality,  but I have mild objections to the
abuse of "type 1" gophermap files as content containers themselves - while
they render well in lynx and Netscape Navigator,  I suspect those gophermaps
will choke the classic UMN Gopher Client.  That said,  the "View Source" at
the top of those content-based gophermaps is a nice touch which should
placate the objections of said classic users.
