I pushed some new code out to CVS for Plan 9 ports.
It's mostly bug fixes, but there are four things of note:
0. X11 programs look in .Xresources for geometry if
winsize (-W) hasn't been specified, thanks to Peter Canning.
1. When you plumb to acme under rio and rio makes it
top, it also makes it active, so you can start typing without
selecting the window first.
2. Sam respects plumbing now, thanks to Presotto.
3. Acme and 9term windows scroll in response to
scroll wheel mice, thanks to Rob.
CHANGES has the full list.
I have only been able to test this on Linux and FreeBSD.
Usually I test on Mac too, but my Mac test box isn't
available at the moment. Because of this, I've only updated
CVS and have not generated a new tarball for the web page.
Usually I'd wait until I'd gotten to test on Mac before
putting anything out, but I'm going to be just barely online
for the next seven weeks and wanted to get these changes
out for people to try.
As usual, I'll gladly take bug reports.

Nice!
Just a thought: would it make sense to also support
(for a more 'seamless' integration in the X11 world)
some of the common X11 command line options, like
-display and -geometry or would the multi-character
nature of them completely 'conflict' with the plan 9
way of doing things?
(I can understand arguments pro and contra, I just
thought it could be nice to raise the issue, once)
(w.r.t. the small cleanup feedback I promised in another mail:
it's nothing more than the usual s/nil/0/ things, together
with an #undef sun before doing #define sun ... in the astro stuff.
I'll see that I get to it, but right now I'm having a little
fun playing with purify - and a short retry hunting for the
warp-below-window bug in acme - unless someone tells me
it is already fixed )
Axel.

these options are fundamentally at odds with the
plan 9 way of parsing options.

Nope. We've been using wheels for a long time now. Hmm,
I think the bits needed are archived in 9fans somewhere.

an interesting divergence of features, mousewheel support across all rio's would be good
Are we entering the phase where *real* plan9 begins to lag behind the port ?
perhaps a port of mothra to Un-9 will get it modernised too :)
Just let me know when I should upgrade to Linux
