hmmm, this was a educational task for Mr. Suzuki at that time...

Antway, I've not known this page is linked to other Univ's page.
It is a work of Osaka prefecture University, and it belongs to her, 
I suppose.

Of course, you can use or improve it by your own risk.   However,
if anyone wants to link such a property, I suppose, s/he should contact
with the original author...

echo -- {whatever} # {whatever} can be "--", "-n", or other things

Actually all you need is one symbol.
 3(decimal) = |||
 7(decimal) = |||
etc.  Obviously this can express any numerically-coded object.

Is that a pointer to const volatile?

btw another nice thing about having a desk calculator with the fd
hanging out in /srv/desk: I can have any process (awk pipeline) feed
commands into /srv/desk and have it pop up in my desk calculator.
Don't know why I didn't do this before. Also, it would be easy to drop
three dc processes at the end of /srv/desk, and have displays in my
calculator running always in dec, hex, octal -- handy for me!

I've not really used /srv as much as I could have.

Wouldn't plumbing be better for this sort of thing?

yeah, good idea, you could prepend calculations with a string. But
more important is that your calculator needs to have a channel that is
global and available to all, which is not a common attribute of
graphical desktop calculators ... once that is there, plumbing can use
it.

is there an updated version of calc2? it uses an old control(2) library.

about /srv/desk (minnicalc? ☺), it's funky -- good kind. it tried the
the n! example in dc.  it seems that a script to rio -i could figure
out the geometry, create the windows for the buttons (windows -r ...)
etc. but.c should probably take an argument to force a static label;  it
doesn't re-read text on redraw.

[9fans] Worksheet program

[Benjamin T. D. Newman]

Hello list

As my first foray into Plan 9 GUI programming, I have created a worksheet
program.

It doesn't edit.
The input/output format is rather lame.
It's rather annoying to move around;
The cells are all of a fixed size.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something else lame.

I'm happy enough for three days of coding. If nothing else, I'm sending
this e-mail so I start working on actual work...

Thanks to fgb for his help and /sys/src/cmd/tweak.c for parts of the 
interface.

I have put it at .
./test to run it.

You might try control(2) instead.  See
/sys/src/cmd/auth/factotum/fgui.c
/sys/src/cmd/bitsy/keyboard.c
for examples.

It would appear their intent is that everyone sleep easier.

What worries me is the inventory reduction.  This OS is
already very lean.  I'm not sure what there is to reduce.

what would happen if everytime you wanted to give a link to something public
you had to contact the original author? would that make the flow of information
and knowledge harder, wouldn't it? did google contact the original author too?
anyways, my intention was not to be disrespectful or anything, but
being helpful.
