I've been using win-based development tools for a couple of years, and am now about to move onto my first linux project. This gives me the opportunity to dust off sam , 9term, and 9wm. Years ago, I had them running on various unices, but I would like to get hold of existing linux ports if possible. URLs? I haven't had much luck with google or yahoo searches. Thanks. Incidentally, there appear no longer to be sam downloads on bell-labs.com, other than as part of the plan9 distribution. seanq's win32 port is not to be seen. --Mike Scheer

I downloaded Sean's win32 port a few months ago. You can always send him email: seanq@lucent.com. david ~~ David L Rubin <davidrubin@lucent.com> f/973.581.6665 v/973.386.8598 Lucent Technologies, NJ0117 15G-117, 67 Whippany Rd, Whippany, NJ 07981 pub key fingerprint: 59E BC8E 79CB A6CB 4B57 A1B2 CDB0 2FD4 AADC 81AA temporary voice mail: +34 91.807.1054
Sorrry for the auto-followup, but gregoire@inrs-telecom.uquebec.ca
pointed out that sam is indeed still available in netlib. I can only
say that the searches I had tried on bell-labs.com did not show sam.

I'm worried about version skew. The current Plan 9 version of sam uses code from acme. At least three people, including me, have done unix ports. Right now, I have no clue what version any particular archive site will be handing out. We really ought to converge on something.

I remember when I first started looking for the
same p9-4-linux stuff a number of years back
that the FreeBSD people had a more complete and
more up-to-date collection in their ports
section than any of the Linux dists (Debian was
the only one that came close).
I once bought a Linux magazine with a cover
proclaiming the issue was devoted to the
"Internationalization of Linux". Inside were
about ten articles on emacs and how someday it
was going to display UTF-8 or some such. They
had never even heard of 9term/sam/wily/etc.
But I can't use emacs because I only have a
10-Gig Hard Drive . . . :-)
