Subject: [9fans] Generic Plan 9 to Linux video api shim.
Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 20:30:02 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <32a656c2040920043066bdbefe@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine wrote asking "Why doesn't somebody write a generic
Plan9-to-Linux-video-api shim? It would be inefficient as all getout,
I suppose, but anybody who can't live without playing Doom on Plan 9
is perverted enough that a quick call to hyaku-to-ban is in order."

Being a Plan 9 advocate, I'm sure that I'll get this asked this question again.
I don't have an answer for him.  Anyone care to comment? 

--Vester "Vic" Thacker

p.s. Hyaku-to-ban is japanese for police station.
