> > The main point of that discussion AFAIK was "What AV software makers smoke?". IIRC that support is sponsored by AV companies, since trying to make them understand that it doesn't make sense didn't help. That probably will be also the real reason behind the inevitable refusal of the 9p-fileserver option (unless someone manages to bash enough heads). -- Paweł Lasek

s you could also install appropriate syscall trampolines). As a counter-example, MS Windows' Notepad.exe is one of the worst offenders when it comes to mmap(). To put it simply, the reason it doesn't work on large files is that it mmaps them. ALWAYS. It's even stated in IFS SDK, that "implementation of memory mapping mechanism is required to get notepad to work on the filesystem in question". > Thanks, > Roman. > -- Paweł Lasek

That might be an interesting case for Plan 9 GCC port - May I also suggest XeTeX? I didn't check it fully, but it directly uses TrueType/OpenType fonts. Unfortunately, it outputs only PDF or it's own internal xdvi format (incompatible with normal dvi). On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 7:17 PM, Joel C. Salo
