Werc is hardly a contribution worth mentioning (just a bunch of rc
script after all!), but some of us have put much blood, sweat and
tears in trying to make Plan 9 successful and save it from eternal
oblivion, and it is frustrating when people say 'you have no right to
complain', *everyone* has a right(even a duty!) to complain, and
complaints should be both welcome and heed if Plan 9 (or any project)
is to be successful.

Peace

P.S.: I got werc to work with a very simple 'magic' wrapper rc script
(I'm sure russ' cgi.c is a much better solution though, but wanted
something that would work with plain httpd out fo the box):
