On the topic of #retro #lisp for, while trying to enknowledge myself about Xerox AI Workstations viz #interlisp-d , I happened across https://github.com/marcoxa/CL3270 ; a current/two year old #ibm3270 backend slash toolkit.

This is interesting because #gopher #rfc1436 defines T items as pointing to a tn3270 session.

So I could just talk to my #CommonLisp repl through x3270(1) and that CL3270. I'm getting the sinking feeling someone told me to do this before...

#InternetGopher #RFC1436

Last week @pzriddle@mastodon.io sent me some vintage Internet Gopher T-shirts that were apparently cluttering his attic. Now you can watch me model these way-too-small shirts with my stomach TOTALLY sucked in so I can't breathe!
Thanks Prentiss!

In spite of this simplicity, the scheme has the capability to expand and change with the times by adding an agreed upon type-character for a new service.”
