Hmm,
I sent a letter on 20 September to Ms Kuckreja, and have had no response
whatsoever. I understand a previous letter (sent by someone else) expressing
interest was sent a number of _years_ ago, with a similar lack of response.
(I heard Rob Pike in Australia in about 1991, and was aware of the early
papers and manual from early on.)
I would like to get Plan 9. I am lecturing at a University as full-time staff,
and was in 1991. My letter was on deparment letterhead, and was signed by me.
The only thing I can think of which might have caused a problem is that I am
at a campus of the University 300 km away from the central administration.
I asked specifically in the latest letter to AT&T what the policy is on
multi-campus universities---license per institution or license per campus.
(I know our Unix license is per-institution, but I don't think anybody at
the main campus cares about Plan 9.)
I do know we gave up on getting the C++ sources from AT&T because they
insisted on sending our stuff through the 3-year long black hole in Japan.
(We waited a number of years for 1.1 or whatever, and had an order for v2
which never happened before v3 was released.)
So, how do I _really_ get Plan 9? Like in my hands?
