Re: [9fans] J9P/StyxLib

["Bernd R. Fix" <Bernd.Fix@aspector.com>]

I have been using Inferno for a while and wrote it originally to use
legacy services from within Inferno. So most (not to say all) testing
have been done using Inferno so far.

I have just set up Plan9 under Xen and got everything (including
network) up and running. I will focus on Plan9 for further development,
but have to make myself familiar with it first. But I am sure, that it
will work with Plan9 without problems.

I am also confident that the J9P server will also work with other 9fs
clients like v9fs - but that needs checking as well. If you give it a
try, can you please file a "field report", so I can include it in the
documentation?

Regards, Bernd.
