Even just reading code of unclear license could get many people in trouble. -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2e70e97724f65028-Mb0405caa0117990059f8a6d6 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

But still I'm surprised I got it to compile without many adjustments. Most changes were pure syntax changes. If someone's interested, you can compare my source with the v10 code at tuhs. I didn't touch anything I didn't need to. sirjofri -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2e70e97724f65028-Mab7e17b74e3df52fe2dcdd66 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

> I personally found the code hard to read,
The original looked like this:
tabs (sv, line)
char *sv[], *line;
{
char *p;
int n 0;
sv[n++] = line;
for( p= line; *p; p++)
{
if (*p == '\n')
{
*p=0;
sv[n++] = p+1;
}
}
return(n-1);
}
class (nt, tv)
char *tv[];
{
if (hastype (nt, tv, 'J'))
return("1 journal-article");
if (hastype (nt, tv, 'B'))
return("3 article-in-book");
if (hastype (nt, tv, 'R'))
return ("4 tech-report");
if (hastype (nt, tv, 'G'))
return ("4 tech-report");
if (hastype (nt, tv, 'I'))
return("2 book");
if (hastype (nt, tv,'M'))
return ("5 bell-tm");
return("0 other");
}

09.04.2021 16:39:53 Charles Forsyth : I still use it. I think it differs in many ways from the original version (the Caldera licence was to allow the 7th Edition code to be used in 2002). Nice to read from you! I personally found the code hard to read, but I feel it's just normal for the complexity of the task. Managing references is harder than it may sound, I'm sure. I used your refer version for my two last theses in university, I just wished it had a native solution for double references. I needed the reference as footnotes in the text, as well as at the very end of the thesis under a bibliography/literature section. Refer can do both, but not simultaneously. I built a rc script around this which calls refer twice and merges the results, which is a very hacky solution... but it worked. I like how refer embeds nicely into Plan 9 (with calls like refer/refer). (This reminds me, I should finish my wwb port, but that's offtopic.) Thanks for porting refer. Again, I wish we had some easier way to manage contrib packages, e.g. by having repositories and just clone and mk them. I never know which package is still supported and supposed to work and which ones are legacy and don't work. sirjofri -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2e70e97724f65028-Mfb6ec0c66efd9e616fb98338 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Re: [9fans] troff refer and bib
I still use it. I think it differs in many ways from the original version (the Caldera licence was to allow the 7th Edition code to be used in 2002). Not least that it's formatted and arranged to be readable. It made some things dynamic so it could handle large reference libraries. There were bug fixes. I also replaced the original's internal fgrep implementation by the Aho-Corasick as developed in the paper.

I suspect that the Heirloom Troff versions could also be made to work.
