Re: [9fans] rc shell UNIX port repository

I have been using es (by Paul Haahr and Byron Rakitzis) for quite some years on unix, although effectively I did not use most of its more advanced features. "Es is an extensible shell. The language was derived from the Plan 9 shell, rc, and was influenced by functional programming languages, s

Re: [9fans] Harvey OS: A new OS inspired heavily by Plan 9

I couldn’t resist looking, and found in http://www.osnews.com/comments/28699 "Harvey is an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang”. So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9. More details, including the feature list below, are

Re: [9fans] Equis

neat. when I drawterm from a mac to a plan 9 box it works fine. (once I realized that I can only use a DISPLAY of :0 if localhost is a known system name, which it wasn't on my system) when I run it in plan 9 in parallels on the mac it looks a bit funny, but if you learned to read and write slan

Re: [9fans] ssh - pine - "garbage" characters

an alternative is to run a vnc session on the remote (non-plan 9) machine and use vncv to connect to it. that might be useful if vt would not be able to support all cursor control that pine needs. Axel.
