Hey, just found something interesting:
When you run file on /rc/lib/rcmain, it tells me that it is =C2=ABEngl= ish text=C2=BB. I didn't look at the source of file yet,
but if you cat rcmain it really doesn't look like =C2=ABEnglish te= xt=C2=BB.
Have there been similar mistakes or has it been working fine most of t= he time?
Adrian
=C2=A0
P.S: Sorry for my bad english=E2=80=A6
P.P.S: By the way: I know how to do a screenshot in Plan 9, but how do= I make a screen recording? Does plan 9
deal with video files in any way?
