1 man page bug alert. the paper describing rc for plan9 is mentioned as included in the unix rc
distro. it is not. (or I can not find it)
2 the paper can be found at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/doc/rc.html
3 the old syntax was
if (test -f afile) {
echo file exists
}
if not {
echo file does not exist
}
