.bods are "bundles of diffs", or a form of patch used in 2nd edition Plan 9. The file
should be an rc script. Just run it to get a small amount of help on the arguments
needed to run it in anger.

Richard,

1.  How do I install the update you provided? Here is what I get:

% wrap/inst ppp.bod
archfs: reading archive: bad format
wrap/inst: no such package found

2.  Your command to connect to Demon UK includes '$host:$pass' ,
    Should I put my login name and password directly in the
    command line here or somewhere else?

I am using Plan9 as a standalone machine and have not configured
any network related items. Once I get the PAP solved, I hope
to connect to the internet and get email working. If you would
like to extend your reply to include those issues it would be
appreciated.

Bill
