but that's where all the fun is!
the main part of the plan 9 kernel is the device driver switch
and the device drivers, which provide resources. instead of
providing hardware resources, the drawterm version uses
the underlying operating system to make the calls. devip
and the screen are good examples.
if you're not familiar with the regular plan 9 kernel then
you might start with that and then attack drawterm.
if you're already familiar with the kernel then drawterm
shouldn't be much work.
