A few days ago I wrote about the Simple Text Server I had written, *Nimi Mute*. At the time I really wanted to use those ASCII control characters. Now that I’ve thought about it some more, I decided to drop it and just use what `ed` uses: a period on a line by itself. And as for indicating that the user intends to upload a file, I decided to go with what shells use: a simple `>` to overwrite the file, or `>>` to append to the file.
This makes the documentation simpler to write, and I take that as a sign that I have been overthinking it.
I also discovered that Gopher maps are text files and so *Nimi Mute* can act as a Gopher server, no problem. I took advantage of this when writing my test cases. These now use both *Nimi Mute* and *Soweli Lukin*.
