Yes, wmiibar2.c only works rudimentary at the moment. A complete and easy to understand 9P server can be found http://angband.tip9ug.jp/magic/srcgw/n/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/wikifs, though it doesn't uses libixp2 but lib9p. The tricky parts are the Qid-mapping of synthetic files to struct fields. I hope to finish wmiibar2 asap, that you see a complete sample. > By the way, is there anything I should read (besides wmiibar.c, > wmiibar2.c and wmiikeys.c) to make the writing of wmiikeys2.c easier? > This is all a bit more complex than the small fixes I've been doing so > far, but I'm willing to learn! I know, it is pioneer area for me as well ;) Regards, -- Anselm R.
