i have a permant location available ftp://rc.quanstro.net/pub/rc-1.7.1.tar.gz. this will be available this evening. i'm still willing to maintain the sucker. is this location good enough for you? it needs to be defluffed and need to be more compatable with the One True rc. using the real rc is probablly the best solution, but byron's rc doesn't require p9p. (and the older unix ports of rc had some trouble.) > Yesterday, I read the p9p rc man page and try it.

(okay, 9term on p9p.) there is a version of rc for p9p on sources in my directory that already does history via - -p -- --p. i have a version of rc for plan9 that also does history via a different program (also called - and -p). i can make that available if there is any interest. (doubtful.) rc will rewrite your commands, redirection first in the history file. so cavet emptor. - erik
