You are right in that Lout cannot handle non-ASCII input, which is
something that kept me from using it much, as well. However, the
overall approach to the syntax and what not is much nicer than TeX.
Also, I would argue that Lout has much nicer output than both, troff
and TeX.

Sorry about that. It was after updating all the a/ files from the .ed
scripts. It looks like I did not pay enough attention to mem.ed. There
were other changes that could be causing problems too. I'm current

Ah. It was 256 MB but Yiyus changed it 8 weeks ago to 64MB. Why?

I don't think so but I'll dig around.

If you like the cleanliness and simplicity of troff files for writing
papers, and would like to avoid the hideousness of TeX, then you might
want to try Lout. I ported it to Plan 9 earlier this year and just
copied it to my contrib: contrib/akumar/lout.tgz
Best of luck,

Is there any way to have the auth server require netkey only when
connections are from outside the local network?

I'm kind of a "go ahead and do it" person w.r.t. this, and I certainly
have no ownership of 9vx, so I'd say "why not?" The more the merrier.

Good reason :-)
What's interesting is I ran 9vx for quite some time and never hit an
issue until 8l had to load gs.

As I said, I would ask Bigelow & Holmes for final clarification before
releasing anything. I am not trying to dance around the license, but get
clarification on what is OK. I have made it a habit of asking people here,
and elsewhere, if there they would mind if I do something in a particular
way

Besides the issue of (not) understanding TAP and so having no access to
networking, what struck me while experimenting with a very remarkable 9vx
installation (9vx is impressive, not my installation thereof :-) was that
if you start it as root, you retain root credentials within the sandbox,

there are non-Plan9 implementations of netkey.
i think i've got a Java version somewhere.
Hello,
If I am right, there are some patches enabling mouse chords in sam as
well as using focus follows mouse (like acme).
I found some kind of the former in Steve Simon's contrib.
What about the latter?
Thanks

The Plan 9 manual still contains the securenet(8) manpage and several
reference to this old hardware. I would like to get it, but it seems
