    Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9port)
    is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native
    Plan 9
    environment to Unix-like operating systems.

    unix extracts|  |  |  |  | Most obviously, plan9port derives from
        Plan 9 from Bell Labs
        and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the
        past many years.
        
        Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,
        as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.
        He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide
        the ugliness of modern Unix.
        
        William Josephson handled
        troff(1)
        (with Taj Khattra) and many of
        the supporting programs.  He also inspired the thread library
        clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.
        
        Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant
        work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning
        rio(1).
        Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.
        
        
        Latchesar Ionkov has contributed many fixes to tricky bugs, and 
        got factotum(4) up and running.
        
        Many other people have provided help,
        ported programs, written bug reports,
        sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new
        systems.
        
        
        
        Bigelow & Holmes, Inc. created the screen fonts in the
        luc, lucm, lucsans, and pelm 
        directories and granted permission to redistribute them with plan9port.
        
        Thanks to all. |  
      history|  |  |  |  | The UTF-8 library, the formatted print library,
        the buffered I/O library, the (Unicode-capable) regular expression
        library, and mk are available in packaging separate from plan9port.
