Keywords: rc information wanted I heard about rc a while back on comp.unix.shell when someone wrote about its `minimalist approach'. Being a minimalist myself I was instantly attracted and sought it out. I now use it as my main shell and am very pleased. When I ftp'd the source I also received some documents about Plan-9, and something explaining the rc rationale. However, in general I find the background of rc mysterious. If someone who knows is willing to write to me and tell me about Plan-9, rc, etc. I'd be grateful. I'd also be pleased to hear from other rc users. By the way, there is an rc mailing list which can be subscribed to by mailing rc-request@archone.tamu.edu. I'll post a summary of responses by mail in comp.unix.shell and on the rc mailing list. Thanks. --- Richard Brooksby ML Project / Symbolic Processing Division / Harlequin +44 223 872522
