Brief description of suffixes(I'm sure you know this boyd, this is for other people, not to patronize you):

sama = gods, really honored folks (i.e. kami[god]-sama)
san = normal polite suffix but inappropriate for teachers and medical doctors(always referred to as just "sensei")
kun = male diminuitive used by superiors to inferiors(e.g. at work I'm "Noah-kun")
chan = female diminuitive also works for boyfriends, children and pets.

using a last name without a suffix is disrespectful because it's something like saying "that guy roberts", meaning that you don't really care for the person. First names, on the other hand, are an indication of familiarity(and can also be rude if used in the wrong context[e.g. to bosses and superiors]).

One of my friend in my youth said everybody as xxx-kun indicating some special
friendliness.   However, it depended on his special capability when he said so.
He was always said so with _smile_.   くん is usually attached from a senior 先輩.
It's not easy to use くん here.  You must be very careful when you use it.

My guess would be that it covers from K. Okamoto to mr. Okamoto.

too, it's sometimes easier :)

Yes, but you can't expect people just to forget their cultural differences.
In Japan, addressing someone with their last name, but without a
"politeness" suffix is considered undignifying/rude/offensive (take your pick).

So a Japanese reader will, while perfrectly understanding that this wasn't
the westerner's intent, still feel disturbed. This kind of problem can be avoided.

Don't insult a person who has contributed to Plan 9 community, boyd.

Yes, it's better to write native programs for Plan 9.
It, however, usually use up his/her full-time work, because it's harder
to learn new ideas than to use such well known ones.

I know what you want to say, I believe.

Only because you run 'make clean'.  graphviz distribution includes
scan.c generated from scan.l (from research.att.com, not my port),
because scan.l requires flex, not lex. Should I rewrite scan.l

configure is there exactly for that purpose, right?  to catch if the

OK. Added to TODO list.

there is an ancient Unix sh program somewhere that helps convert makefiles
to mkfiles.  unfortunately, i've lost it, but it might turn up.  i'm not sure it would be much
help anyhow with `modern' gmake/nmake/imake/whymake mkfiles.
someone else might have it though, which is why i mention it.

it's usually not too hard and once set up it's usually
fairly easy to maintain.  it has the advantage that all
architectures can be generated at once (ie, not just 386).

that's far from saying that you must be the one to do it;
i don't see why you should if it's not important to you.
if it's that useful someone else will do it eventually.

for non-gui stuff you can also download the gcc 3.0 port and use
gnu/gsh.  graphviz used to compile relatively fine with it a year ago and

1) I wanted to know how well ape works.
2) I didn't want dependencies between ports.
3) That would definitely make transition to native tools

Probably, you'd know there may be many more powerful
persons around the world, and also here...   This may be
the point what I've been feeling why you speaks so much.

The problem is that you assumed your configure will work
on Plan 9 environment with/without ape, but it was not written
for it, which means it doesn't work.   Do you really have working
version for Plan 9?

Yes, I do. I never assumed that it would work without ape.
You have to launch ape/psh before invoking the scripts.

for non-gui stuff you can also download the gcc 3.0 port and use
gnu/gsh.  graphviz used to compile relatively fine with it a year ago and
configure scripts kind of work with it.  would've saved you some time.

I will do the 'normal' port, that is, with mk (but still pcc).
I just wanted to realize what's needed. I didn't find an make->mk
automation tool, and am going to write it. Is it against the

i was referring to your (useful) use of ape/pcc not gcc;
had you used gcc it wouldn't have given a port to other
plan 9 architectures.  in other words, i think you did the right thing!

Re: [9fans] graphviz-1.10 port

[Geoff Collyer]

mkconv converted makefiles to mkfiles and was distributed with old
versions of Unix mk.  You can find an rc version of it at
/sys/src/cmd/mk/mkconv.

mk -m used to generate a makefile from the current mkfile too.

An advantage of rewriting makefiles into mkfiles is that you can use
inclusion with '<' to drastically shorten the mkfile.  This is the
entire mkfile for the v7 shell:
---
</$objtype/mkfile

TARG=v7sh
OFILES=args.$O builtin.$O cmd.$O ctype.$O error.$O expand.$O fault.$O io.$O \
	macro.$O main.$O msg.$O name.$O print.$O service.$O stak.$O string.$O \
	word.$O xec.$O
HFILES=ctype.h defs.h mac.h mode.h name.h stak.h sym.h timeout.h
BIN=$home/bin/$objtype
CFLAGS = -w -DPLAN9 -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_EXTENSION
CC=pcc -c
LD=pcc

</sys/src/cmd/mkone
---

Given that, `mk installall' will build it and install it for all your
supported architectures.

What for did you run 'make distclean'?  scan.l is written
in flex. AT&T includes scan.c into the distribution on purpose.

Unless scan.l is rewritten in lex, scan.c is needed.

Or, flex should be properly ported to Plan9.

I share the feeling, at the same time I believe that explicitly
expressed requests should be accepted or equally explicitly rejected.

The specific instance where there are two Kenjis but the surname (?)
may not be used alone to differentiate them, is just one of those
coincidences one would gladly do without :-)

I had the impression that Japan was one of those cultures where names are
of the form 'family given' vs 'given family'.  Is this correct?

If so,  then it can at times be difficult to know which name is the family
name and which is the given one [1].  i.e. in the face of some people
presenting their names in their 'natural' order and some presenting them
in our 'natural' order.

So one is sort of left having to use a full name!

some international groups (communities, circles, whatever)[1] solve
this ambiguity by customarily using all-caps for the family name.

i'm afraid it's a common mistake, encouraged by 'orrible x.509, to suppose
`public key' should be preceded by the definite article.  the second common
mistake relates to `properly issued'; similar cause i think.

a splendid idea that has nearly been ruined by x.*

There is a rule how to distinguish this, for an example, a member of this
list writes his name as
YAMANASHI Takeshi
here, he may be proud of being Japanese and probably wants to express
it by using formal expression of Japanese names.   In this case, please
remember his surname is written using capital letter only.
I write my name KenJi Okamoto, which is de-facto standard from the time
Japan accepted Western calture about 150 years ago.
