Hmm.  Lilo is still livin' large on my system; I just tell it to boot 
from the dos partition.  I then run plan9\b.  No problem.  By the way,
I'm running the demo from the ftp site. 

Any luck building the executable from the source code in the 8.5 document
listed on the website?  I seem to be missing some include files from
that listing.  Should an error message indicating those files can't be
found come up from the compiler?
