2009-03-30 Thread hugo rivera
Hi there, I just found out that the preprocessor on plan 9 doesn't like utf. I hope I am wrong, but just try to compile something like # include u.h # include libc.h # define ΓVAL 12 void main(void); void main() { int β; β = ΓVAL; while(β 15)

never mind. i think it's not a sign of the problem we were discussing, but possibly something is simply down. Then the error message needs some tidying up. It happened to me too and coincided with a total failure for replica. Sigh! ++L
