in the xword README, you say:
> To run it, you need to cp *.font /lib/font/bit/times
which *.font files are those?
BTW, even without them it looks nice and works really smoothly - i like
it!
i must get hold of a CDROM drive so i can try out the CD player. other
than Mail, there have been far too few acme-based user interfaces; i'm
glad to see another one, even if i can't use it. :-) (trouble with
importing the CD device from the cpu server is that the headphone
socket is also over there, and that's not quite so easy to import!)
cheers,
rog.

The ones that weren't in the archive, of course.
Now they are.

i just posted a crossword player (xword.tar.gz)
and an acme cd player (acd.tar.gz) at
www.eecs.harvard.edu/~rsc/plan9.html.
the crossword player is just fun to use.
a converter for across lite puzzles is included.
the cd player serves a need (at least for me),
but is also (imho) a neat example of how clean some
programs can get when you use communicating
processes to your advantage, and of how much
acme does for you. i really like that because it runs
under acme, you get playlist editing for free
(from the readme):
A window with a track list will appear, with
tracks named Track 1, Track 2, etc.:
1/ Track 1
2/ Track 2
If they can be found in the freedb.org CD database,
real track names will replace the boring
ones before long.
To start playing a track, right click the number
at the left of the line.
A "> " marks the currently playing track.
When that track finishes, acd plays the track
on the next line. This means you can edit
the window as though it were a play list.
If the next line is "repeat", acd will start again
at the first song listed in the window.
enjoy.
