8c -p (generally ?c -p) uses the full preprocessor, if
that's your problem.

Thanks. I should have checked the man page. links is taxing on 8c's tact.

The wiki mentions i browser from contrib.iso from 'Additional software', which
I failed to find there. What is the web browser for plan9 and where to get?

The only one we have that works is the links one.

and even links blows up fairly often.  Russ was reworking it.  Any
news on that?

I got it mostly done, but got stalled trying to get the TCP
connection scheduling working.  I just put what I have at

  http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/links-native-plan9.tar.gz

if anyone is interested in picking up the torch.

I spent a little while looking at web browsers yesterday
(I'm sick of using FreeBSD and would like to switch back
to Plan 9, but one important requirement is having a web
browser for day-to-day stuff).  I'm not even that happy with
any of the web browsers available to me on FreeBSD, so I've
kind of resigned myself to having a web browser for the 80%
I do on simple pages, and then use Windows for the rest.
I took another look at Charon.  Maybe the right solution is
to get the Plan 9 shims working so that Charon looks like
a Plan 9 window.  One big thing that both Charon and Links are
missing is the ability to highlight text on web pages and
then snarf it.

I'm having not-so-obvious header inclusion problems. I don't think the mkfile
is right.  Anyone else tried compiling it yet?

it's for the linux/bsd port of the plan9 libs.. you'll need to modify the mkfile

I had.  8c's preprocessor doesn't handle '#if  XXX>1' type of things. Is
it supposed to use pcc?
