I was reading the document and it mentions how to install Plan 9
on a NeXT. However, I can't file the file /68020/9nextstation on
the CD-ROM. I'd like to know if the NeXT support is still in the
current release of the CD-ROM.

Thanks.

It's our own format, since many of the file names contain
UTF-encoded characters illegal in most file systems.

The file name '9nextstation' is too long for a standard ISO9660 file name.
We use the vendor-specific fields to store such names, but they're only
visible then from Plan 9.  See the file /_CONFORM.MAP for the mapping
if you need to find such file names from other software.
