Your "printed" quarterly earnings report didn't have any graphics
included????? The gopher copy seems to be flat text. It looks like a
pretty good (small) arrangement. I didn't check the "Other Gophers", but
often it's a courtesy to also include the gopher'd ftp sites. You also
might wish to make the postings available via gopher compressed file
transfers... -- gzip them and post them as a binary file. Even dial-in
gopher clients allow for file transfers for such items, and when a gopher
client is run under a shell from a dial-in line, it will generally
automatically invoke X-, Z-modem or other file transfers upon receipt of
such files.
