The environment variable 'venti' holds the 'net!host!port' information, but you can also specify the venti host on the fossil console with "fsys venti ' If dns is not running you may need to specify the ip and port numerically. I guess you will find fossil beeing started up with the -f switch, it will read in its configuration from there. Adapting the respective 'fsys
venti' command there is a way to get another venti. Variables defined in plan9.ini become env variables, my plan9.ini's have a "venti=3D..." line for all computers running venti. Regards Jorge-Le=F3n
