Hi
I slowly finishing work at XaoS3.0 (an fractal zoomer) and I want to make
plan9 port working again. So do you have any ideas for improvements?
But main purpose why I write this email is, that this version has also
thread support for SMP boxes. 
I want to make threaded version for plan9 too, since I want to try
its API (and compare it with posix and beos one). I don't have SMP machine,
so I would be greatly interested if someone own such machine and has some
time to test XaoS before it will be released to let me know how it works/
do some speed comparsion tests.
I thinking also about networked version of XaoS, but this should be much
more complex problem, so possibly I will solve it later (in 3.1 :)
XaoS routines needs be very fast and synchronization for clauclation
over net should require lots of everhead so it should be slower than
running at single machine.

Thanks
Honza
