If you fetch something via gopher or ftp then the file returned will
be placed in !GopherRes.
This application stores resources within GopherRes in a way that allows
the user to forget about running out of space within a directory or
having to rename things, while online.
When a file is sent to GopherRes, each 'Res-##" directory is scanned in
turn to see if there is space there. If there is no space in any
available directories then a new one will be created. This approach
allows for 77*77 (5929) files to be stored before filling up.
To get a file out, you simply find it and MOVE it out.
WebGopher will automatically keep track of GopherRes and only use available
directories. So is you have 3 'Res-##' directories with 77 files in the
first two and 12 in the third, and empty all the files from the second
directory then WebGopher uses this directory BEFORE it continues to
use the third directory. If you delete the second 'Res-##' directory then
it will simply be recreated when it is required.
When a new file is placed within a 'Res-##' directory it is given a number
one grater than the highest number of any files currently in that
directory.
