hi radiuspi, here are a few links about porting to plan 9. hopefully these are helpful for you as they are to me. you did not mention 9front, so if you don’t know about it i recommend learning about it, as it provides many helpful programs you don’t have in 9legacy. the third link is a man page for the coding style of 9front, which may be helpful for rewriting that C++ and obj C.
