if I understand your intent correctly, this might be= what you're looking for: a while back Tim Newsham did ninefs; it uses = npfs (ericvh and lionkov) and Dokan. i don't know if there has been any= recent development. I forked a copy of ninefs from code.google.com into github, npfs sources are on sourceforg= e:

I need to use Thunderbird as my mailer and that keeps reminding me how liberating it was some long time back when I was able to move from Mutt to Acme/Mail: the latter is so much less of a burden across so many aspects. But today I'd have to change job to get rid of Thunderbird and that's not going to happen. Then, there's GIT. Another annoying must-have. I really have to look into "gitfs" and dedicate daily time to create a Plan 9 compatible (that means Go, in my life, incidentally) VCS that is not a monstrosity. I doubt there's much hope to get that right. To close, there's Chrome. I can't for the hell of me understand how no one has declared the browser a health (mental and social) hazard. It's worse than DDT, by far. So, that's just a few places where I expect that a concerted effort from a willing community could put Plan 9 to great use. But of course contributions from bright minorities have been identified as contrary to the interests of the powerful elites and the bar set far too high to be overcome; specifically, not necessarily consciously, to prevent disruptive technologies taking hold. I can't reconcile myself to the idea that this may be for the best. And then Microsoft comes along and hi-jacks just enough of my favourite security blanket to make me feel discriminated against.

It is perfectly possible that Linux is more plan 9-ish than Plan 9 ever was. Lucio.
