I have used it also. Circa 10.5 years ago there was a race condition in
the scripts that ran it with troff which I fixed and sent back in; I think
they got into the dist.
Literate programming is a lot of fun and works well if you have the mindset
for it.

Is a tarball of the 8th ed manual troff files available?
The Unix Historical Society (see www.tuhs.org) would like to have this
too, I don't doubt.
Thanks!

The PBM utilities (now net pbm) did something similar for bitmaps.
I think V10 also had some pipeline utils for manipulating images.

Thanks for the link to the Google code repo.
I'm currently on x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04. Building was not so smooth, several
files are missing for the Power 64 port.

You are not missing anything.
Subexpression matching means when you have an expression like
q(a+b)(c*d)z
that you can get access to the exact text matched by the two
parenthesized subexpressions.
You asked about non-greedy regular expressions which were first
popularized by perl.

For those of you wanting something different than Intel Architecture,
Nvidia plans to give it to you. It should be interesting.

I really like the GNU project's Texinfo markup language, which
sets on top of TeX, but you don't have to know TeX. (I've been using
Texinfo for > 20 years, but don't know any TeX.)
I've written books in troff, Docbook/XML, and Texinfo, and Texinfo is
by far the easiest.

Not really true - there are one or two orders of magnitude more APIs
in Windows than in Linux, and they are all infinitely uglier.

Is there a simple recipe to use p9p troff to format the manual pages
from the plan 9 dist? I.e.:
Install Plan 9 Ports
wget plan9.iso from bell labs
mount said iso /some/where
9 rc
cd /some/where/sys/man
# magic stuff here
(Or tar off the dist to re
).
Thanks,

Hi 9fans.
A colleague asked me some questoins about the Plan 9 kernel that I could
not answer.
For a small x86-based embedded system (*deeply* embedded), how small would
the Plan 9 kernel be if one removed the networking stack (TCP/IP, 9P)
and all fiesystem code (except for access to a very few d
This says a lot, rather nicely:

Having lived through the Unix wars of the 80s and 90s, it's the same
story all over again.
(Or maybe the story never ended. Either way, the users are the ones who lost
out.)
