It's worth retrieving the Postscript version
if you're interested, since some of the formatting
gets lost in the HTML rendition. To use FTP, connect

... I guess what I'm asking is: is 9P an 'open' specification ?
Yes, it is. You're quite free to reimplement and use the
protocol in any setting.

I was wondering about using 9P as a protocol for a project that
is un-related to Plan9 itself. It just seems sensible to use
an existing network filesystem protocol rather than trying
to make a new one. I want to export Mailboxes (and other things)
to remote Java applets.
Would anyone care to express an opinion on the status of the
9P protocol - is it copyright for example ?
Would I have a problem if I:
1) implemented a 9P client in (say) Java,
based on the public documenation in the book and
on the 9P manual page.
2) used u9fs to test it.
3) implemented a simple 9P server in Java
4) Used 1) and 3) in a commercial project.
I guess what I'm asking is: is 9P an 'open' specification ?
Thanks for your attention.
- By the way, if anyone has any hints about what to avoid
when implementing 9P I'd love to hear them.
Thanks.
Tim.
