 Fixed.

Thanks!! It now works much better, at least for me :).
Now \(*a and α produce (at least visually) the same, which has been desirable.
P9p and plan9 works the same now.

(Still, however, 'alpha' is different from \(*a (or α), since it is
typeset in the current font rather than the italics, as would be
appropriate. But the same happens in plan9, too. Probably (?) it has
some historic context; nonetheless unfortunate.)

Perhaps one more thing. Using regular installation of p9p and the p9p
rio, I don't get e.g. α visible either in 9term or sam, although I see
it in acme. This is probably a font problem, which could be (??)
surmounted by using a different default font when rio gets started. Is
it so? Which one? (as I get it it must be an X11 font...).

Thanks !!

[9fans] 9p to SMB

2011-02-05 Thread dexen deVries
Hello list,


is there an 9P client that in turn serves SMB (a.k.a. CIFS)?

I'd like to expose vacfs to a mixed windows/posix network.

aquarela is a cifs server, cifs is a cifs client.

there is also a new and (in my opinion less buggy)
cifs server - cifsd, this is available in cinap's
contrib area on sources.

I have been hammering cifsd quite hard recently
with no problems at all.

Re: [9fans] FORTRAN and tools [was: Modern development language for Plan 9

Agreed, but is there a FORTRAN compiler/cross-compiler for Plan 9?


f2c (from netlib) is trivial to get running.  This gives you Fortran 77. 
It has been sufficient for my needs (spice, zork, some grib stuff).

I would really like to see if this can be tracked down and if it is

unless your memory confused that with the fact that I can run Blue
Gene binaries produced by XLC/XLF, I don't recall what you mean ...

Haha, yes, that's it.  My memory indeed got confused.  Sorry for the noise!
