Editions refer to major overhalls of the system, and to a lesser extent printed (i.e. paper) editions of the manual. Plan9 is continuously updated, changes often happening several times a week. You can update your installation to the latest provided on bell labs servers by running the pull script in glenda's bin directory. /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull Note, the user who you perform pull as must be in group sys to have the rights to overwrite "system" files. -Steve
