Why ? hist(1) is intended for use with vbackup and vnfs, not with the real Plan 9 dump file system. the convention there is to mount on /dump and have backups for a particular system be /dump/sysname/. if you want exactly the Plan 9 history command, the best thing to do is copy history.c from a Plan 9 machine and compile it. russ
