Look in directory 'c'.

Re: [9fans] A Plan 9 C request....

[erik quanstrom]

in the section after the /* storage */ comment in c00.c

	regtab 0;
	efftab 1;
[etc.]

should this be read as

	int regtab = 0;
	int efftab = 1;

?

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes
without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of
crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is
nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something --
and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity
for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
