the bits from p9p's _p9dir.c which were discussed the
other day could be used to solve that problem.

I haven't looked at anything at all, but I've also never seen such a
happy reception on this list. Please excuse the possible stupidity of
this question: is a Plan 9 port feasible?

It should be doable. You need equivalents of mmap,
mprotect, munmap, signal handlers, timer signals,
and some function to install new segment descriptors.
All of t
So I guess that rules out linux :-)

Yes. It's a single line of code:
exec rc -c '{ newns; rio }'

Interesting. I'll try that and find out how it goes. (I was starting
to use Interface Builder and Xcode!) There is one bug
scratch that - no newns. (what is it's name?)

There is a new 9vx, version 0.11.
http://swtch.com/9vx/
It includes the #S device I mentioned earlier,
it includes the previously-missing darwin-asm.S,
and it fixes the cpu-chewing bug on OS X.
The sources are at the usual (other) place

The 9vx 0.11 source code includes OS X gui code,
a severely cleaned-up version of the drawterm code.
It is not built by default, but you can build it by using
make 9vx/9vx PLAN9GUI=osx
Unfortunately, it seems to have one problem: the

It looks like this might be fixed in 10.5, according to

Of course, if you

Russ,
Great work with 9vx. I haven't played around with it too much, but I
did successfully build your native gui code cleanup.
When I start 9vx, I get the following messages dumped to terminal
repeatedly and the app hangs:
cpu10: runproc spurious wakeup
idlehands spurious wakeup
Perhaps this ha
Hi,
First off, 9vx is incredible! Thanks Russ and Bryan :)
When I start 9vx, I get the following messages dumped to terminal
repeatedly and the app hangs:

I got the new 0.11 source to build, but run into a similar error:
cpu3: runproc

That helped, but I get the spurious error.

I love it...
I am waiting to see that on Guggenheim Museoa soon... ;)
Perhaps some glenda stickers too... I am sure there is enough artwork
to have some nice "merchandise"
