Because I expanded the grass4.1 for other planets by myself.
Anyway, I'll check the 5 version, thanks.

Presotto said we have it.

No, I have dilemma because I want to do it for a new GUI system.☺
SANE is not for Plan 9 concept, I think.   All the programs using
some special RPC protocol should be rewritten by user level file server
for Plan 9.

Fortunately or unfortunately we have philosophy, not by myself but by the designers
of Plan 9, which makes us not so easy to do something.   However, if there is
no such philosophy in Plan 9 who loves her?
