The v10 manual doesn't mention them, fair enough, they document Unix and not Plan 9, but they do say that rc(1) is the Plan 9 shell... Research Unix of the time ran on VAX. A natural question arises, was VAX the original target of the Plan 9 compilers? Where is it? Why isn't it mentioned anywhere? If VAX was never a target, then what was the original purpose of these compilers and how were they tested on a target that Research Unix never ran on? One might think they might have been used for the Jerq/Blit/DMD-5620, but no, the Unix manual documents a different compiler used for these (which is distinct from the main C compiler). The Plan 9 compilers seems to have appeared out of thin air, but this certainly can't be the case. -- Aram H=C4=83v=C4=83rneanu
