I'am afraid Byron made some changes from (the one true ?) rc, some of these changes where usefull, some just taste but the bottom line is that trip.rc will not run under plan9 rc without a lot or work. -Steve --upas-kbyjojgepafynifmijfcpaioeg Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu> Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by mta08-svc.ntlworld.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.37 201-229-121-137-20020806) with ESMTP id <20040402102532.EIRE5004.mta08-svc.ntlworld.com@mail.cse.psu.edu> for ; Fri, 2 Apr 2004 11:25:32 +0100 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 7980F19D87; Fri, 2 Apr 2004 05:25:14 -0500 (EST) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 7949719C8D; Fri, 2 Apr 2004 05:25:09 -0500 (EST) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 7D41C19DEF; Fri, 2 Apr 2004 05:24:39 -0500 (EST) Received: from mercury.bath.ac.uk (mercury.bath.ac.uk [138.38.32.81]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 0FC3219DCE for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Fri, 2 Apr 2004 05:24:37 -0500 (EST) Received: from news by mercury.bath.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.12 #1) id 1B9Lct-0004vJ-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Fri, 02 Apr 2004 11:10:15 +0100 Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@cse.psu.edu (9fans@cse.psu.edu) To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: Bengt Kleberg Message-ID: Organization: Ericsson Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit References: , <406C1811.5030306@swtch.com>, Subject: Re: [9fans] acme, rio workalike available in plan 9 ports Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2004 10:09:57 GMT X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on psuvax1.cse.psu.edu X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.63 X-Spam-Level: Bengt Kleberg wrote: > if rc is not stable enough it should be made stable enough. > a _starting point_ for testing plan9 rc could be the ''trip'' test that > comes with byrons rc. the starting point in question proved to be a bit of a problem. the very first thing (not even a test i presume) of trip.rc is: # trip.rc -- take a tour of rc # Invoke as "path-to-new-rc < trip.rc" rc=$0 echo tripping $rc byrons rc (brc) thinks that $0 is: /home/eleberg/plan9/bin/rc but plan9 rc (9rc) thinks $0 is: /dev/stdin i am sure there is a prefectly good reason for this. does anybody know the reason and have the time to explain? bengt --upas-kbyjojgepafynifmijfcpaioeg--
