doug relied on the usenet->9fans part of the gateway to work. he
hasn't posted since that stopped working.

i know this because i spotted his mails in comp.os.plan9 and notified
him that they don't make it to the list. i asked in 9fans who the
owner of the gateway is in order to get at least a couple of people's
emails to make it back here, but i got no reply.

doug does post, his last one in comp.os.plan9 is from the 4th of may.
i'll take the liberty of quoting it here:

Not as such.  If foo1.h defines the interface to some
resources that foo.h needs, then it *ought* to be
#included, so that the user of foo.h doesn't need to
know implementation details.  For example, if foo.h
declares a structure maintained by functions in the
"foo" package (also declared by foo.h) and that
structure has a private member that is a Boolean
flag, foo.h ought to be #including <stdbool.h> so
that it can use the proper type for "bool".  This
is generic advice, and the Plan9 developers seem to
disagree (for no good reason so far as I have heard).
