Anyone gotten this to work? > For reference, I'm working on a MacOSX system. upas is buggered, i.e. not built by default. see /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/mkfile. it is very much a work in progress. john cummings and erik quanstrom did the initial work, and erik has continued to push on it. i plan to push on it some in the next few weeks. some of the code assumes that threaded programs can use fork and exec, which is not true. none of us have tested on the mac yet. once the programs are fully converted, it shouldn't be a problem, but it's not ready for prime time yet. russ
