Greetings, I am using p9p on a Mac.
I am able to start any number of copies of sam as expected. Acme runs well too, but I can only start a single copy. If I try to start a second copy I get: 9pserve: announce unix!/tmp/ns.blake._tmp_launch-nvfpC3_org.x:0/acme: Address already in use acme: can't post service: 9pserve failed I understand that acme can display multiple files and that, perhaps, only one copy is needed. I am, however, experiencing two cases where starting up an additional copy is advantageous, and not being able to start more than one copy is a problem. I have been able to create a Mac application out of sam & acme. With that, I am able to associate a file extension (txt, etc.) with an application such that when I click on the file a copy of sam or acme is started up so the clicked-on file can be edited. This works perfectly with sam, but only work for the first file with acme because of not being able to start multiple copies. A second issue is I am sometimes editing multiple files in acme. Someone calls and I have to make a quick edit to another file. Rather than mess up the multi-window setup I have for my current project, I'd rather start up an additional copy of acme to edit that one file and then go back to my untouched development environment. (I know about dump/load. That is very useful, and I use it. But I don't want to go through all those extra steps in a quick edit situation.) Thanks. Blake McBride
