Re: [9fans] how up to date are the PDF doc files onplan9.bell-labs.com?
Nothing wrong with printing. Having a physical copy of the manual is invaluable when things go sideways, and reading the papers on a high-DPI, non-reflective surface is a joy. Since I don't believe anyone has Plan 9 driving an e-Ink display (anyone? anyone?), paper does nicely. i'm hoping to have a prototype together for iwp9 that will include an epaper display of some sort (E Ink is not very responsive). enjoy, tristan -- All original matter is hereby placed immediately under the public domain.

Sounds cool! I just activated my Kindle. I mailed myself the PDF of gawk.1 (of course). At fit-to-screen it's too small, but rotated and increased size it's better. As an emergency place to keep the Plan 9 manuals, it sure beats lugging around all that paper. :-) I'll be experimenting some more. Thanks! Arnold

I've done some fiddling with the ms macros to add Kindle
support. What I have is:
. \ Override page/font parameters for Kindle
.if '\nK'1' \{\

You activate Kindle formatting by setting the K register
to 1. The biggest issue I've run into are tables and
figures that need the space of a larger page. As for
man pages, There's already a register (s) you can set
to 1 to get it format for 9 pages. That does improve
things a bit in portrait orientation scaled to fit the
screen.
Those might at least give you a good starting point.

Why don't you guys just print the pdf in landscape A5 format. Should
be readable on all e-ink devices.
Re: [9fans] how up to date are the PDF doc files onplan9.bell-labs.com?
Hi All,
Can anyone please zip the docs and email them to the group?
Thanks

Re: [9fans] how up to date are the PDF doc files onplan9.bell-labs.com?
Can anyone please zip the docs and email them to the group? That is almost universally considered very bad form on mailing lists. You already have access to everything you need: the papers are available in HTML, PS, and PDF online: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/ and there is a searchable, up-to-date version of the manual: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/man/ If you need some format other than that, download the distribution: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/download.html and extract them from /sys/doc and /sys/man there.
