Message-ID: <912418b08142b7626f8a45c18bb299ae@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
Rio never seemed enough of an advance to be worth a paper.
The 8½ paper describes the most important property, providing
a window system as a file server.
The only novel feature of rio is the way it avoids multiplexing
the graphics device, letting the driver do that job. (8½ muxed
all graphics ops itself.) But other window managers can do that,
so it's not worth a paper either.
