Re: [9fans] Searching for text outside Acme

[erik quanstrom <quanstro@quanstro.net>]

in the spirit of smacme...

if you're using p9p, i put a copy of 9term with b3 menu items for forward and reverse
searching.  i but a posixthreads binary there too.  /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9term.look(.tar)?.bz2
the reason for the binary is that this was built for a very old version of p9p (before
russ added the per-window devdraw.)  so i'm not sure if it will compile anymore.

i used to use this quite a bit, but it, like linux, has fallen into disuse here.  i just didn't have 
the heart to put that into rio.
