At first I thought very big rc variables seem to become strangely corrupted.
% for(i in `{seq 1000}) { echo 0123456789 >> f }
% ifs='' {x=`{cat f}}
% echo -n $x > f2
% diff f f2

But the bug seems to be in `{ } because replacing the use of the x var

Setting ifs='' defeats rc's tokenisation, so the result
of `{} will be a series of rc `words', each limited to
Wordmax (8192) bytes and with the next byte of the input
stream after each word set to NUL.
Did you perhaps intend to write ifs=(), which has different
meaning?
I recently got a relatively modern ThinkPad. I figured it might be a
good chance to play with something new, and THnX has always looked
interesting. I have Ron's stuff from August or so; is that still the
latest? Is there a better way to run Plan 9 in lguest, with as minimal
a Linux underneath as p
skip lguest.
What I'm looking at now is tinycore linux: tinycorelinux.org and vx32.
Much easier. Makes a nice terminal. I have to add some things to it,
it doesn't come w/wireless.

Hi,
I think the following gives a clue:
% cmp f f2
f f2 differ: char 8193
The following snippet from the Xbackq code seems to be the culprit:
char wd[8193];
int c;
char *s, *ewd=&wd[8192], *stop;
...
while((c = rchr(f))!=EOF){

On second thought (and in the light of Geoffs reply) I probably won't.
If you do care, the following change to the loop in question will at
least preserve all input:
while((c = rchr(f))!=EOF){
if(strchr(stop, c)){
if(s!=wd){

OK, for that, lguest is great. I am thinking entirely in terms fo

Recently I've been finding it useful to open sets of windows in acme
via an rc script, but I have the feeling I'm doing it in a pretty
inelegant way (see basic version of my script below). This has led me
to the following questions:
1. Is there a way to load dumps into a current acme instance via

Tiny Core Linux looks interesting. Played around a bit in a VM tonight
and will be trying it on the ThinkPad tomorrow. I'm curious about your
setup. I assume you're using 9vx directly for graphics, no more
drawterm? You run within X?
My attempt tomorrow is going to be giving a GB or two to Linux a
