Acme is now included in the ports tree, and has been for a few weeks. Rob tracked down a bad stack overflow in libregexp, and since then it's been quite stable. I changed some constants in 9term to make it look more like a normal rio window and less like an acme window. There is a new command "rio" which is David Hogan's 9wm cleaned up to give most of the modern rio interface rather than 8.5. See src/cmd/rio/README for more. It's missing a few minor details (e.g., I would like to be able to drag window borders to resize and move windows), but for the most part it's quite convincing. Rio and 9term are not well tested and are only known to work on Linux, so they're not built by default. If you want them, cd into their directories and mk install. Bug reports appreciated. As usual see the notes linked from the main web page for more. Russ
