I should be able to do most of what I need to in plan9. I would say about 90% of what I do is text based so I spend a lot of time in acme.

I have Windows 7 as host with plan9 in a virtual machine. I want to be able to access directories on the host directly from plan9. So I think it would be the client on plan9. I did find some instructions on how to set this up which I've lost and am trying find again.

It involved installing two things. The first one seemed to go OK, but the second (your client I think) failed with an error message that said something along the lines of "no replica" and mentioned your name.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Steve.
