Wrote a minimalist Gopher client which makes use of the network sockets
support in gawk(1), the only AWK with such a feature AFAIK:
--
$ ~zilog/public_bin/gophr
a minimal Gopher client written in gawk(1)
use: gophr HOST [PATH] ; PATH defaults to '/'
ex: $ gophr rawtext.club | less
$ gophr rawtext.club '/~zilog/cgi-bin/AWKball.awk?Is true?'
$ ~zilog/public_bin/gophr rawtext.club '/~zilog/cgi-bin/AWKball.awk?Really ?'
The Magic AWK Ball is listening...
=> Really ?

Generally it isn't necessary to quote the PATH but still a good idea if
there's any chance of shell expansion occuring.
The Gopher protocol is quite simple so the script is fairly short, only 25
lines of actual code.
