First off, as stated in the UnixWorld article (10/90, p.61), Plan 9 is _not_ UNIX; it also appears it's going to be the next big thing in hackyland, so it will no doubt get lots of net bandwidth. So I'd look into getting a group for it and avoiding clogging this one (which is already schizo from the comp.unix.* identity crisis). Meanwhile, let's do this over in comp.misc and/or comp.os.misc. Anyone want to drive the discussion/vote process? --Blair "Me? Politics? Naah."

Lately I've been hearing mention of a new operating system from Bell Labs called "Plan 9". Could someone here provode some information about it? -- | ---> flame me at: lennox@stratus.com <--- | | Craig Lennox - Stratus Computer Corporation - Marlboro, Massachusetts | | "In a free society, voluntary compliance is and should be mandatory" |

There is a short (2 page) article in the October 1990 issue of Unix World. I also have a paper written by Rob Pike, Dave Presotto, Ken Thompson, and Howard Trickey that I downloaded from some site (sorry I can't remember which one). Hopefully someone else knows where it came from and can help. I found this paper very interesting, but it was missing the Reference section (the title was there). Hope this helps a bit.

The highlight at UK Unix User Group summer conference in 1990 was Plan 9. There were papers by Rob Pike, Tom Duff, Dennis Ritchie etc.... I believe you can order the proceedings from the UKUUG/Europen at Owles Hall, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9 9PL, Endland. Tim -- Tim Wright, Dell Computer Corp.
