if you're doing this in plan 9, bootstrapping the compiler is a bit of a pain. this could save some hassle: /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/8c-32bitrune
these are the patches it turns out were missing /n/sources/patch/cc-32bitrune /n/sources/patch/sed-32bitrune /n/sources/patch/ed-32bitrune /n/sources/patch/libdraw-32bitrune /n/sources/patch/sambufsz there doesn't appear to be a convention for entering 32-bit runes in p9p yet, as in compose + X + hhhh. i propose by silly extension compose + Y + hhhhhh. i've got my system working to the point where i can type compose + Y01d510 with the clarisr font and get a fraktur m on the screen. nothing like a useless demo. one thing i really love about plan 9 is the ability to make big changes like this without having as step 1: boil the oceans. - erik
