Hai,

> P.S.: ahh - and: how about 9P Clients and Servers for MS-Win*?

I can comment on that. Getting the facts, Microsoft once wrote some API so that 
anyone, with the right SDK, could write virtual file system drivers - they 
actually presented that stuff via a ftpfs, which made me optimistic that, if 
one gets this SDK, 9p4win32 could be written.
The big pro about that would be that a 9p-client would be 100% integrated in 
the Operating System - you would be able to see the 9p-connection/server in 'My 
Computer' like any other drive (virtual or not). I think that's what Nokia uses 
for their PC-Suite btw, in case you are a customer of this great company and 
their great.. eh.. Anyway

Then I saw the price of that SDK. It's arround hundred-and-something United 
States bucks, just for the SDK. If you are seriously gonna look into this, drop 
me a private mail and I will search for the presentations I collected on that 
topic, etc.


For servers tho, it could be a normal userspace program listening on a socket. 
Boring but possibly easier (cheaper)
