[9fans] plan9 on qemu and 9vx

Hello, I have a Slackware installation running on my box. On top of it, I often use qemu to run plan9, but it's inconvenient to constantly keep track of the things I do there, like C programs, because many of them are also useful under Slackware (then I compile them under linux with p9p's 9c). So

I have 1600x1200x16 at work on an nvidia card. i have not been able to get 32-bit modes working with vesa, but 16 bit modes do alright. i think there may be some sort of (frame) buffer calculation that's off. large images can crash one's terminal, too, even in 16-bit mode. previously i

The current implementation just prints the first 18 digits. 18 digits are sufficient to reconstruct exactly the same bit representation when you run the text back through strtod. All those extra digits may be precise but they're not necessary and probably not accurate. Russ
