Yes. Take this thing I've done and make it more complete, then write strace() for Plan 9, done. I may do it before you because I really need it. I'm going to modify my output to produce (what else?) S-expressions because it is a sensible format and there is a very a handy library to parse them and do reasonable things. I realize acid has many wonderful properties, but it's not a substitute for many handy tools, strace being one of them. thanks ron
