39     Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9port)

40     is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native

41     <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/">Plan 9</a>

42     environment to Unix-like operating systems.

72         Most obviously, plan9port derives from

73         <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9">Plan 9 from Bell Labs</a>

74         and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the

75         past many years.

79         Many people have provided help,

80         ported programs, written bug reports, 

81         sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new

82         operating systems.  A few have done far more than their fair share.

86         Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,

87         as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.

88         He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide

89         the ugliness of modern Unix.

95         (with Taj Khattra) and many of

96         the supporting programs.  He also inspired the recent thread library

97         clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.

99         <Table><tr height=10><td></table>

101         Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant

102         work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning

103         <a href="man/man1/rio.html"><i>rio</i>(1)</a>.

104         Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.
