This whole "Writing anything new is a terrible idea!" attitude is getting old. Why does acme exist? Thank god you weren't around the Unix Room when that got started, or you would have just said, "Isn't sam good enough for you?" If somebody feels the need for a functional text-mode interface, he should write it. I've felt a need for such a thing myself while fiddling with kernels that don't have video support. Believe it or not, there *is* room in Plan 9 for additions and improvements. John "Denial ain't just a river" Floren
