Subject: Re: what if?, suggestion to re-instate the alternative if not syntax...

> Are there any useful "standalone" rc scripts which are portable between plan9 and unix?

Given the plan9 source, and a large set of patches (boddles), it woud be nice to update the
source and burn a new CD-ROM. For various reasons I would prefer to burn the CD from Unix,
and also load the source, do the patch on Unix. The boddles are rc scripts, which use if not.

Note: I would not want to remove } else { . If not would only be a complement.

Best Wishes, Bengt
