all i need is a hosted inferno on any os which has functionality
or resources that are either impractical to port or proprietary.
why would i write troff in limbo when i can use 'os troff'?
rob said in very early inferno days something along the lines
of "don't just rewrite everything in limbo, it's a different world".
the ghostscript example has always been there as a one-liner.
