Since plan9 came up in one of these groups. Has anyone looked at porting the plan9 interface for unix to FreeBSD? I've found and the following: 9menu - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/9menu-1.3.shar.gz compiled painlessly and works. 9wm - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/9wm-1.1.shar.gz compiled with imake -- no problem. 9term - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/9term.1.6.3.tar.gz compiled with some major hacks, and mostly works, someone who knows more than me should look at it. Xg fonts - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/libXg.utf.fonts.tar.Z dropped into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/... es - ftp://ftp.sys.toronto.edu/pub/es/es-0.9-alpha1.tar.gz compiled and works (I think). sam - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/sam.msg.gz this is a shar which contains sam, samterm, libXg, libframe, and some docs. has a makefile for bsdi, which works for FreeBSD too. rc - ftp://ftp.sys.toronto.edu/pub/rc/rc-1.5betadev-1.tar.gz didn't compile out of the box, and looked like it'd need more time than I have right now. some documentation on the plan9 interface for unix is in ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/plan9.interface.for.unix If anyone is interested in porting this stuff, I can give patches to what I have. I won't have much time to spend on it for a while. eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com erich@rrnet.com
