  I think you know me too well.

  Anyway, if anyone is interested in playing with this, I have a CGI script
set up.  A few sample links:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/sigil?id=~lapryt~fidseg&fg=green&bg=white
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/sigil?id=F01C0885&fg=green&bg=white
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/sigil?id=~lapryt~fidseg
	gemini://gemini.conman.org/sigil?id=F01C0885

  The source code to the CGI is also avaiable on the site---warning:  it's

	
big*.  202,390 bytes big.  But the code is pure Lua, no dependencies other

than Lua 5.1 or higher, and I've tested the CGi script on a Gemini server, a
web server, and a gopher server, so it serves as an example of a
multi-server CGi script as well.
