It works for me, though, especially if you bind it's directories to the root, so that Inferno's namespace has access to the whole Plan9 filesystem... Having Inferno hosted on Windows or Linux and accessing the whole Plan 9 filesystem would suffice my needs for a nice desktop. To me it would be far nicer than drawterm. Perhaps Inferno might be a killer app of sorts. IMHO at least both Inferno and Plan 9 communities would benefit. -vester
