Re: [9fans] Porting 9front.net/go/draw to Plan 9

Thanks!

I still think a real port would be better, and probably not too hard.
But your post made me think … maybe it would be nice to separate the
front end from the back end, so devdraw would be one possibility, the
native file system another and possibly an imported
9fans.net/go/plan9/client a third one.

But for now, I think I will just hard-wire the native file system for
Plan 9 and devdraw for all other OSs.
