Hi,
Anyone done any work on 9pm to update it to the 4th edition?
I am currently doing this but realised I may be repeating
work already done. I plan to update only the file I/O
part - I am not attempting the libg.h -> draw.h conversion.
I am doing this using the borland C compiler as it is now free.
Unless anyone already has a packaged gcc plan9 -> win32
distribution...?
-Steve

A few of us have worked on 9pm. The basic problem
is that we don't really know what form it should take.
I have enough of a build environment that I can compile
Venti without any changes, but I don't really like it.
The resulting programs seem too insulated from the
"host" OS as far as I'm concerned.
Separately, I've been trying to package up the Plan 9
libraries in a more host-friendly format. The libraries
I've posted before -- libutf, libfmt, libbio, libregexp9 --
are all part of this effort, and I've got libthread running
on FreeBSD and Linux.

Yes and no. Both Russ and I have versions of it
that are fairly complete (but unfortunately a bit
different -- I'd like to squash those differences,
but haven't got the time yet). Part of the problem
seems to be whether or not you just want to port
Plan 9 software or want something for writing new,
portable software. Neither of us seem to be very
happy with what we've got, but unless you need a
fairly complete environment, I'd suggest using
Russ's more unix-friendly ports of the utf, print,
and threading code. I don't think anyone has done
much with graphics...

Are your libraries generally available?

The libutf, libfmt, libbio, and libregexp9 are
at http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/software/.
Libthread will be there soon, I hope.
