free of charge in source form, i should add.
i've built the package but need to include some notes
and tidy up the (free) licence.

1. Is there a port of mk for Unix? drawterm comes with mkfile-Irix
etc., so that I assume this must be somewhere...
There is; it should be available from Vita Nuova before long.
2. Well I've scraped together some Makefiles. I get all sorts of
problems with IRIX #include files, to do with Posix issues,
which judging by the comments in the source is nothing new.
I have been using the cc -n32, which seems to get a different
set of problems to the o32. -xansi also has helped.
I've also tried -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
I'm wondering which version of IRIX you built this on?
Also what sort of graphic hardware?
I built it on IRIX 5.3, tested on an Indy and
on a Windows X server. It was running Irix cc.
I couldn't get it to build on our IRIX 6.2 box,
mainly because I think the only installed compiler
was gcc.
3. I eventually got a build complete. I get a
fatal("cannot detect x server byte order") in screen-x11.c,
in initmap().
I'm confused. Your pixels should be much wider.
That is, c.pixel should be something like 0x000099 or
0x990000. It's as though something else has decided
you're running on an 8-bit color mapped display.
Are you?
4. I'm wondering what I need to configure on the plan9 machine
while I still have a screen on it so that I can be able to
afterwards access it over the net with drawterm, or other means to
get a shell?
This is actually non-trivial. You need to set the machine
up as both a CPU server and an authentication server.
Information on both is in the start.pdf documentation.
