The developers of LP49 themselves could chime in, but here is the link to the project. You might be surprised how much of Plan 9 has been rewritten in LP49. http://research.nii.ac.jp/H2O/LP49/LP49-e.html -- On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 3:48 PM, David Leimbach wrote: > Recently found a paper (again) documenting some work going on here. > I've lately sort of had a resurrected interest in OKL4, and I'm always > interested in Plan 9 stuff, so I was wondering what's happened here or if > there's any code to show for it. > It seems like an effort that would take more than one person, but I'm > spending some of my spare time investigating L4 a little more in depth than > I had previously, and trying to understand what it would take to port Plan 9 > to this platform. > I'm not announcing this as a project at this point, as I don't know what the > heck kind of time I'm going to have. > Dave -- YAMANASHI Takeshi
