I honestly don't know the purpose of this window, but it displays the time/date and shows the Glenda character. That bothered me because to me, I wanted to demonstrate/experience the real Plan 9.
You can easily modify /usr/$user/bin/rc/riostart to add this

Vita-Nuova obtained the rights to Inferno, not Plan 9.

I beleive so. 9legacy is 4th edition with community patches.
