Thanks Russ.

I got interested to drawterm, because it can deal with ktrans and
of course Japanese from Win XP(shit!☺).   Yes, it's very usefull to me!   
It's probably because of the right decision of drawterm's design, I believe.
So, I have interest what was the key design of drawterm.

So, we cannot expect him to write design document of drawterm?

I know you wrote the essence of it, however, I feel it too tarse to me.
For an example, how he made Plan 9 kernel to other OS's user space?
Please don't force me to read all the sources of it!

Kenji
