the short answer is no. abaco does look and feel like acme, but it is a seperate program that must manage windows and subprocs (like win). what would be idea is to have a small program like win that reads pages from webfs. it should be possible to do without reimplementing any of that stuff.
the interesting part of how to do this i conviently swept under the rug. maybe /mnt/acme/$winid/layout. btw, abaco's design is very good. it does a really nice job of getting to the point without reams of code. - erik On Tue Jul 25 17:59:42 CDT 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Tue, 25 Jul 2006 22:17:01 +0200, erik quanstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > i think the ideal "browser" for plan 9 would be acme. > > > > if acme could handle a box-based layout with images and text, the > > "web browser" could consist of webfs, http/layout and http/acmectl. > > Well, isn't that kind of the way Abaco is going?
