No, I'm going for world domination. Starting with the local Go group. The fileserver is meant for Plan 9 communications, and is left open to serve any interface that provides a two-player turn-based game. This includes Go, Chess, Checkers, and whatever else. After the rudimentary interface is provided by an application (i.e., a board or an automated engine), the only thing required to make it networked is to decide on a format and use it to read/write on files served by the fs (and handle gid permissions, if one wants). To this effect, I've added *no* Go primitives or specifications to the filesystem, and don't intend to do so in the future. I never found it interesting to play with random people on the internet, anyway. This is at least a dreidel roll away from being the roll of dice. > Anyway, nice work. Thanks, ak
