Subject: does Inferno run under Plan9 on a mips magnum 3000?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 4c8a6c14-eac8-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025
Message-ID: <19960911115131._iuQHxwOGOpby-8nSPxMzle4NIwzwIANLJQJJARITdM@z>

i have successfully run Inferno on at least the following configurations:

	Plan 9	sparc	(SS1, also remote display on DX2/66 from ELC)
	Plan 9	mips (an Indigo R3000)
	Plan 9	386	(AMD486DX4/100, Intel DX2/66, P133, P150)
	Solaris 2.5	sparc	interp and compile	(SS10/51)
	IRIX 5.3	mips	interp and compile	(R4600PC Indy)
	IRIX 6.2	mips	interp and compile	(R4600SC Indy)

the Plan 9 emu is Build 11; the others are Build 14.

Solaris 2.5 and IRIX 6.2 were displaying remotely using X11
because the only Solaris 2.5 machine we've got hasn't got
a display attached; then again, you'd think that would make
the display costlier and the mouse hits even more likely to be lost.

on all platforms i have successfully run and killed the Infernal Coffee
machines using the X button.

i successfully ran the web browser guido on all platforms.
i was careful to follow instructions and ensure that the inferno
bin was in my path/PATH variable which i ensured was also exported
(done automatically by rc even on Unix, but i also told the Bourne shell to do it).
when i deliberately did not follow the instructions and ensured
that the appropriate Inferno bin directory was NOT in my path,
guido reasonably complained of a webget protocol error
since #C/cmd couldn't find the webget binary.

just a thought, but have you applied the OpenWindows Jumbo patches
and the several other Jumbo patches on the Solaris 2.5 release CD?
Solaris is erratic (even for Solaris) without it.

the ELC was slowest, but that's not surprising, since it's one
of those old Sun things.

as to point 7 (what would you do with it?)
oh, i can think of a thing or two.
