Welcome to Adventure! If you want a working version of the Alef compiler, try /n/sources/contrib/lucio/alef.tgz. It compiles and some tests are successful. However, useful libraries such as graphics, are conspicuous by not having been ported to the architecture of 3rd Edition Plan 9. It's on my TODO list to sort this out, but the priority is low. If you need specific help, though, I'm willing to assist. Like Bell Labs, I think the usefulness of Alef is limited, but I also believe its historical value is high. ++L From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <126a2f7d0811200747q42c0d465n172c396433a75473@mail.gmail.com> Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:47:37 +0300 From: "Sergey Zhilkin" To: "Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs" <9fans@9fans.net> In-Reply-To: <6142a1690811181725t62b217d7kd3b8e1f22f6cefc8@mail.gmail.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_91283_13381736.1227196057412" References: <6142a1690811181725t62b217d7kd3b8e1f22f6cefc8@mail.gmail.com> Subject: Re: [9fans] How can I use alef?

I wasn't quite badass enough, so while I got Plan B installed (ish) I never really got anything done with it. I'm pretty sure Plan B is deprecated in favor of Octopus these days anyway.

Topicbox-Message-UUID: 5393ab68-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Sure. We are retiring the planb system still in place. Only some itx in the corridor are still using it. All our terminals are either Plan 9 native (some running octopus PCs) or octopus terminals. But in any case, if anyone still wants to try plan b for any purpose I'll try to help.
