i wrote a cpu like client/server for windows (called dos).
my code and test environment lived on a microsoft smb server. i ran cifs(1) to get access to this from plan9 and sam. dos(1) allowed me to start an rc(1) running on win32 in the same directory as my current directory on plan9. it also kept my local /dev/wdir up to date with that on windows - massaging paths as needed. all this allowed me to bounce between windows and plan9 fairly transparently like cpu(1) would on plan9. i could also plumb files i saw and plan9 would do the right thing. it should use the cpu(1) protocol but i never got round to it - what i have just works. my current employer uses Macs rather than windows so this has fallen into disuse. i am happy to share if anyone has a use for it. -Steve ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T09fcdec9c87bfde4-M90430f1d0d3a94dcd370712f Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
