I just updated the distrib of the octopus as exported from lsub, to include o/mero and o/live (the file system for omero and the viewer).
I made today a silly package to use it standalone on Plan 9 (without the rest of the octopus) only to discover that somehow mounting via #s made omero go s l o o o w. Thus, I wont bother to publish a stand alone package for use on Plan 9 and will fix this problem instead. In any case, if anyone wanted to try it, the version as distributed today has been working for me and man pages are updated. Once the octopus tar has been extracted on inferno (mostly /dis/o files), running o/mero is a matter of executing: o/ports # event delivery o/mero # the file system proper mkdir /mnt/ui/s0 # create a screen o/x # ~ to acme and sam language o/live s0 # the viewer (at screen s0) olive(1) is an introduction and is needed to learn how to use our weird menus. The next millenium, once this thing runs fast enough, I'll drop here a line to let others know.
