Since plan9 came up in one of these groups. Has anyone looked at porting the 
plan9 interface for unix to FreeBSD?

I've found and the following:

9menu    - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/9menu-1.3.shar.gz
compiled painlessly and works.

9wm      - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/9wm-1.1.shar.gz
compiled with imake -- no problem.

9term    - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/9term.1.6.3.tar.gz
compiled with some major hacks, and mostly works, someone who knows
more than me should look at it.

Xg fonts - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/libXg.utf.fonts.tar.Z
dropped into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/...

es       - ftp://ftp.sys.toronto.edu/pub/es/es-0.9-alpha1.tar.gz
compiled and works (I think).

sam      - ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/matty/sam.msg.gz
this is a shar which contains sam, samterm, libXg, libframe, and some docs.
has a makefile for bsdi, which works for FreeBSD too.

rc       - ftp://ftp.sys.toronto.edu/pub/rc/rc-1.5betadev-1.tar.gz
didn't compile out of the box, and looked like it'd need more time
than I have right now.

some documentation on the plan9 interface for unix is in

ftp://ftp.ecf.toronto.edu/pub/plan9/arnold/plan9.interface.for.unix

If anyone is interested in porting this stuff, I can give patches to what
I have.  I won't have much time to spend on it for a while.

eric.
