Ballastero(sp?) and lsub's Octopus (Omero? O-something) does something like this. With it, you can tar/untar a Tk UI from one system to another. IIRC, it was implemented with Inferno. Since I is similiar to 9, it probably wouldn't be too hard to port. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td4449edc4863e16e-Mc494dd5ad027aad6fc42c2fb Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
