See 9n.README for the details. It's experimental, so use with caution. I'm using it at my terminal but it's too young to be reliable. I also copied at 9nbits in the same server a few files that might be = needed (the new kernel has a new OBEHIND open flag to enable write behind for files and thus has a new fdflush syscall).=20 At http://lsub.org/export/9pix.pdf you have a TR describing the changes = made. We also have a nix mark II that has these and other changes, and it's = likely we will make it public at the old lsub nix site, but we are still changing = it and fixing bugs there, so don't hold your breath. Besides this, the new nix has a = new scheduler and a new memory manager. If anyone gives a try to any of this, and finds out any problem, please, = concat us off list and we'll try to help. Our main tree has quite a few changes and it's likely I forgot to copy = some bit or made some other mistake :) enjoy.
