Re: Gopher banner?

Is there a way to have the Gopher server output a header text file? Something to output an ascii banner and info about the server before showing the gopher content, similar to the welcome message on the IRC server.
That capability is not already in gopherservice.js, but it seems like something
that could be easily added. Likely, in the block following:
if(request=="" || request=='/') { /* "root" */
Exactly how that gets represented over the network I'm not sure, but a good read of
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1436 should illuminate how to do that. And if you end up with something workable, then submit a patch and I'll commit it to CVS.
