I think that's what I'll look into. We have Nemo's commentary and of course Forsyth's (9) man pages, maybe a start would be to condense knowledge in a "Tiger's" commentary of 9front. I can already see the two columns of 9legacy and 9front code side by side (the kernel isn't going to be enough, though, you guys have been way too busy). And, while I have your attention, I was a fan of Tanenbaum and Minix. Is anyone here familiar with Minix v3? Thinking about, isn't a book precisely what it takes to guarantee an OS eternal life? Thanks for the thought, Hiro, in my dotage, when evening comes, my thinking slows down beyond useful pondering, blogs may be just what I need instead of television. That will almost certainly improve the quality of my last years. Lucio.
