Harvey is an effort to get the Plan 9 code working with gcc and clang”.
So, in a way it seems to be a port of Plan 9.
More details, including the feature list below, are at
since most of the follow-up discussion went sideways:
Anyone know the state of the art of writing 9p clients/servers in tcl?
at some point in time it seemed to be http://wiki.tcl.tk/15632

Just curious what 9fans use, for home and/or work, to backup their macs.
time machine?
to a local (usb,firewire) disk?
or remote (time capsule, nas (not officially sanctioned by apple))?
or eat our own dog food and use eg. venti?
or tra?
or no backup necessary because everything important is

does plan 9 have a writable nand flash file system that does wear-

could that be among the code for the bitsy?
Axel.
I have been using es (by Paul Haahr and Byron Rakitzis)
for quite some years on unix, although effectively I did not use
most of its more advanced features.
Es is an extensible shell. The language was derived from the Plan 9
shell, rc, and was influenced by functional programming languages,
For what it's worth:
VirtualBox has USB over RDP.
I have no experience with this, though.

Does remote USB make sense? Would it be possible to boot
up a plan9 system on one machine, export its usb device to
another machine and run usbd

that would be cool!

I'm sorry I'm not contributing code, and
that the following is mac osx specific.
and it is only an observation.
(and I'm posting it why?
because I'm looking for confirmation, maybe,
and to point out one possible unexpected advantage of X11 over native.)
there appears to be a difference between

Please try it on 10.5 and see how it works.
I know you did not ask, but: on 10.4 it seems to work ok.
two minor UI nits:
- the native version doesn't seem to support the scroll point(wheel?);
the X11 version does (but somehow responds a bit slowish to it).
- when I resize
an alternative is to run a vnc session
on the remote (non-plan 9) machine and
use vncv to connect to it.
that might be useful if vt would not be able
to support all cursor control that pine needs.

you might check out a few of the changes in the pc version of the
driver. (particularly parsekey.)
I just tried the PC version of the WaveLAN driver, but it does
not seem to work better.
Since few hours, I am not able to run the Wi-Fi card anymore,
even with a high timeout. It always
I copied what seemed to be the necessary bits from a lunix driver.
while I did get it working, I got carried away making other changes
inspired by the lunix driver, to the point where I no longer felt
like proposing it as a patch. I may help you, though.
I put it on sources
neat.
when I drawterm from a mac to a plan 9 box it works fine.
(once I realized that I can only use a DISPLAY of :0
if localhost is a known system name, which it wasn't on my system)
when I run it in plan 9 in parallels on the mac it looks a bit funny,
but if you learned to read and write
oh, nice bug you have there, what's the screen depth when that
happens?
I feel stupid - how do I check screen depth?
ehm... I added xdpyinfo output at the end.
anyway, the main issue is not screen depth.

between parallels and drawterm,
send the mac to me. I will fix it as I fixed Gorka's mac.
You are always a blessing :-).
no macs were harmed in this activity of fixing?
