Hi
About yesterday's problem with pasting in acme.
It seems that Russ is right. The problem is with vmwarefs.
Using Russ's code in a rio window
term% echo hello world >/dev/snarf
term% cat /dev/snarf
term% ps|grep vmwarefs
anastas 49 0:00 0:00 136K Pread vmwarefs
term% ls -l /dev/snarf
--rw-rw-rw- M 15 vmware vmware 0 Feb 19 04:13 /dev/snarf
term%
Now if i start using mouse chords in the same window, it behaves
strangely.
If i comment out aux/vmwarefs from termrc everything is fine.
The settings are Plan9 installed on vmware on win2kSP2 using the bleeding
edge CD(14/2/2003).

I'm running VMware 3.2 (build 2230) right now
on Windows XP, and have no problems with the
snarf buffer. I used Windows 2000 for a while
also with no problems.
Perhaps you are running some other Windows program
that is doing weird things with the snarf buffer?
Does copy and paste work in, say, notepad?
Another thing to try would be to copy something
in Windows and then cat /dev/snarf in Plan 9.
I think this might be a VMware bug rather than a Plan 9 bug.

Hi
I installed plan9 on vmware on win2k using the sources CD from
14/2/2003. The installation was without problems but acme seems broken.
Pasting text does not work neither with the 1-3 chord, nor with
explicit Snarf , Paste. However it is possible to Snarf text using 1-2,1-3
but you can't Paste it later.
The chords work fine with rc windows.
