Re: [9fans] malloc redefinition when linking pcc with 8c programs

[mirtchov@cpsc.ucalgary.ca]

to be honest, it does a lot of things and it does them reasonably
well, including java script. I don't mind the interface all that much, but I'm not forced to
use links every day.

I remember you being turned off by the large select() loop in the
middle of the code when we first brought it up.  that's why I decided
to attempt to do it with ape.  after sitting in my 'todo' folder for 6
months I spent the two days making it compile cleanly (which involved
way too many casts from unsigned char * to char * and back).  now the
only thing that's left is the driver for Plan 9, which is mostly raw
bitmaps being loaded onto the screen.

i'm contemplating on having the plan9 driver just write the bitmaps to
/dev/draw or to another simple file server that will know how to
display them...

here's how nytimes.com is rendered with the latest (2.1.14) links in
linux:

ps: and a change to /sys/lib/plumb/basic to plumb png files to
page, now that they're readable with png(1). please add it on sources:
