38     Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9port)
39     is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native

41     environment to Unix-like operating systems.

80         Most obviously, plan9port derives from
81         <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9">Plan 9 from Bell Labs</a>
82         and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the
83         past many years.

87         Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,
88         as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.
89         He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide
90         the ugliness of modern Unix.

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

102         Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant

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

113         Many other people have provided help,
114         ported programs, written bug reports,
115         sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new
