around nov 9 2005 I seem to have spent some time to make dt2k compile on sparc solaris 8, using the sun c compiler. I thought I had reported that either here or to russ, and mentioned or forwarded the changes... maybe not? If there is real interest I could find time to have a look at this again.

Only recently I discovered that there is vfs support in tcl. Any informed opinions on how involved it would be to extend it with 9p support? It would find it rather interesting if one could easily write 9p clients, or even better, simple 9p servers, in tcl, also on systems that have no native 9p s
