Download the code, see screenshots, bugs, what's there and what's missing information and others at the web site: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/links/ There are several things unfinished, most notably JavaScript support (turned off due to problems with sites like google) and a bug with select() descriptors which causes sites like cnn.com, nytimes (every time) and theregister (on occasion) to fail loading. The links code is horrendous, with most of the comments written in Czech (funny, in the few places where I understand the comments they seem to be horrendous too) with the name Jim Beam interspersed just so foreign readers would know what's hapening. The plan9.c (graphics driver for Plan 9) code, for which I am responsible, isn't much better. Luckily acme takes the edge off and after an hour or two looking at the code you'll be able to go bug-hunting. I'm letting it go precisely with that in mind -- to get a broader audience looking for the bugs. I won't have that much time to do it for a while... andrey
