Thanks I can use hget now, everything works fine.-Nolan Hamilton
Maybe those programmers should learn a bit more about the system they
are working with before making such presumptions... but then, since
the days of Berkeley kids mixing LSD with cat's flags, seems that all
regard for the unix style has been forgotten in the race to add more
'features' and impleme

Oh yes, that's also something I can explain. Some programmers use the
definitions literally: "stderr is not used for a progress bar, make
stdprog."

This is because those programs use stdout for status indication, much
like hget -v. Think of wget, which is forced to use a terminal in
order to make a progress bar.

This may seem idiosyncratic, but it has a big benefit.
On various machines I have wget, curl, fetch, etc., and
each one has a di

depends what you mean by "its kind".
command line download tool; I'm comparing it to programs like wget,
curl, etc.

hget is similar to almost all plan 9 programs
and (not surprisingly) different from many
modern unix programs in that, by default,
it writes to standard output.

tgz is a compression format that uses binary data. The conversion of

hget is different from most other programs of its kind. It writes the
file you ask for on standard output, or the computer screen. If you
want to download a file, use one of the following:
hget -o planb4e.tgz http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz
hget http://lsub.org/ls/export
hget -o $home/planb4e.tgz http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz
The man pages with Plan 9 are really good. Well worth a read.

Hello, I am a newcomer to plan 9. I current have Plan9 installed on my
computer, and am trying to get Plan B.
I use "hget http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz";
I just get a whole bunch of letters and numbers.
Is this OK, or is there a problem becouse it keeps on doing this for a very
long time.
