Subject: p9p os x - native gui
Date: Wed,  9 Jul 2008 12:03:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080709160153.55BE31E8C1C@holo.morphisms.net> (raw)

If you run OS X, the next time you update
your p9p tree and run ./INSTALL, your graphics
programs will use native OS X windows instead
of X11.

This means that people interested in trying p9p on
OS X no longer have to dig up the X11 install CD first.

If you prefer X11 windows (and you might, if for
example you ssh from other machines into your
Mac and use X forwarding to run p9p programs),
you can create a file $PLAN9/LOCAL.config
containing the line

	WSYSTYPE=x11

to keep the old behavior.

Russ
