Scoldings: interoperability for doing things like exporting filesystems to Inferno and importing these is a huge pain in the ass, and poorly documented. (Yes, I know, write documents, Devon). I'm just pointing out that, after talking with Kris for 2 hours last night, I finally got the magical auth stuff and everything working well enough to mount my Inferno exported filesystem. (I tried exporting from Plan 9 to Inferno, but I kept getting fversion conversion problems). A lot of my problems are due to misconceptions and misunderstandings about what things do. Praises: cpdir -m is amazing. 10 thumbs up. Cookies, kudos and beer. Utilities like this need to be in the main distribution. --dho
