Thanks. I have a couple of complaints, though. Several of my
favorite bugs (patches posted ages ago) have been resurrected
in this new release.
They are:
* In samterm, MAXFILES is too small. (I've been using 4K.)
* In sam, private temp files are world readable/writable.
* In libXg, "fontfile" is specified by the X client app. In general
that cannot work: unlike in Plan 9, the X terminal usually won't
share any filesystem with the machine on which the X app is
running, so *no* filename can be valid for "-p9font". The fix is
to store the unicode font map in an X property which is set by your
xinitrc.
I'll dig the diffs out of my RCS files tomorrow and sent them along.
