I've seen some archived talk about -mpm, and
even built it on FreeBSD 4.11 from plan9port.
But my question is is it possible to get a working
aux/pm binary onto a current Plan 9 system and,
if it is, how?
Thanks.
Greg

Three options, in decreasing order of difficulty.
1. Write a C++ compiler for Plan 9.
2. Convert the mpm sources from C++ to C by hand.
3. 9fs sources; cp /n/sources/contrib/rsc/pm /386/bin/aux/pm
That binary is from the 2e CD. I've been using a different,
newer binary locally, but I doubt it matters and I feel more
comfortable putting out the previously-released one.
If you find it doesn't work, let me know.

Hmmmm. I guess I'll just randomly pick... Ohhhh.... 3
Russ, you have made my day. Already did 3 and used it successfully on
one small file.
I'm a little embarrassed for not having searched it out myself.
Thanks very much.

Hm.. I guess this means 2e binaries run on 4e? How much
compatibility is there between the different editions?
I guess not having shared libraries pays good dividends here.
