Seems an odd thing to drift into the list as it is quite mature software now, I berated Russ for doing it as I felt it diluted Plan9, I'm glad I was wrong and he didn't listen. Once you learn rc shell you might find other shells to be bloat

I think you have a bad setup. I've been using p9p for years as my main desktop and I know 10s of others that do the same. try setting your font= variable in $home/lib/profile You can also mail the dev mailing list and see if anyone can help

I'm aware that they both have dependencies Plumb still looks miles more attractive. % plumb /path/to/file.c:21 will open file.c at line 21 right clicking in Acme will do it automatically, I can feel the win from here

It's liek writing a shell script for every library, except now you're stuck typing commands so you need to carry it with you. Plus I don't like TAB completion. If you can't remember where everything is maybe you should organise it better in

Bitmap fonts are easy. I made a truetype font in the 1990s using CorelDraw so I know that's not hard. Keyboard maps, again trivial. And don't discount the power of a felt tip when it comes to marking a keyboard.

Sadly I learned this long ago. The only thing I've seen make political change is some form of direct action. Waving banners does absolutely FUCK ALL unless it's for something for which they can throw you a bone. This is what they think of y

I smile to myself that all my data is replicated in a Venti store and accessible by date. Bonus smiles when I tell you one of the redundancies is I keep it in 500Mb encrypted blocks on an insecure server.
