Re: [9fans] frogs and osx

["Steve Simon" <steve@quintile.net>]

I take onboard all the commeonst made, and I am happy to
code my own island of mutant frogs, however I wonder if there
is a middle ground.

Firstly I don't understand why the frogs are such a big problem,
on plan9 at least a file with a \r in it appears as a 
, and this
is a visible and easily typeable character, its true things where
more awkward on ADM3As, but that was then.

My biggest objection to the current code is a read of a directory balks
at the \r and fails. Would it be better to hack the kernel to allow a
read of directories containing \r and walks through them, but not
allow read/write/stat/wstat.

This would mean that such files are off limits but you can still access
other files in the directory and those below - this feels rather
non-othogonal maybe its a reasonable compromise.

I could indeed hack u9fs but what to change the 
 to, \r perhaps, but
that feels pretty horrid too.

Is there a palatable solution?
