I don't know why you told TUHS that 9front is unmaintained; it is maintained and in fact developed. Our source code repository is at http://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/HEAD/info.html We have working heredocs and error messages with line numbers, in case the Plan 9 distributions want that. Compatibility with unix-style parameter specification isn't particularly high on our to-do list, I don't think, but someone might find the time to work on it. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T1dee2a7aea3f7fa3-Mb190dcfef7e1d71ef3bf0c7c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
