Hello, I've been searching through the man pages and 9fans archive and I am unable to figure out how to correctly setup plan9 to read and write mail. I've added my mail servers in different places (i.e. /rc/bin/termrc, /lib/ndb/local, /mail/lib/rewrite.gateway), ran factotum, ran upas/fs but I'm un

[9fans] float overflow

2010-03-26 Thread hugo rivera
Hello, float operations are causing me some headaches on plan 9 (9vx). I have a program that crashes badly when I feed it with near-the-top doubles ~1.1e308. This causes an overflow in a function that needs to square this values and acid points the line where the first call to pow(2) occurs when I

Re: [9fans] Plan ? (was: native install)

2010-03-30 Thread hugo rivera
I agree with Steve. I like the community approach to this matter: if plan9 doesn't have what you need, do it yourself; if you do something that might be useful for others share it and see what happens. Being a newbie myself I find very hard to write my own utilities, but that's a good way to learn
