Just out of curiosity, why did alef die, or are some of you
still using it?

As I understand it the load of supporting two libraries was too much work, also
the alef (and perhaps limbo) experience lead to libthread which provides much of
the same functionality - abet not quite as neatly.
the sources of the 2nd edition alef have been released and there was a
one line change

A victim of rationalisation and reality: maintaining separate
libraries for two languages is a luxury Plan 9 colud no longer afford,
if I understood the rationale at the time.

I think the quote of the day was "We already support one C-like language".

Equis is the name I chose for my X server/port or however they call it.
Basically, I ported tons of xlibs and wrote the DDX (Device Dependant X)
part of the X for Plan 9, it supports 32 bits, some extensions, etc.
And yes, it's a lot faster than vncv to a Xvnc under linuxemu.

Kudos to Federico.

I put up a new Bentley. This has support for, hopefully, all control
structures:
if e then if..then
s
if e then if..then..else
s
