9fans and Inferno fans:
It is with great sadness that I report the death of one of our own.
Michael Baldwin, who worked at the labs for some time and later at Vita
Nuova, died last night after a brief battle against cancer. Michael was,
perhaps, most famous in our community for writing the `pq' implicit
relational database that comes with the plan9 distribution. He was also
a terrific guy in real life, and will be sorely missed.
Arrangements are still pending, but you can find the preliminaries in
the forwarded message below. If you'd like more information, please send
me email directly and I'll try to keep you informed as I find out details
(I plan on sending another email to 9fans and infero-list once things are
finalized, however).
- Dan C.

pipefs
An attempt at implementing the user-level file system mentioned in Plan 9's pipefile(1). http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/art/inferno/pipefs.b I invoke it in acme-sac's /startrc as: pipefs -a -r 'tr -d \xd' -w 'tcs -f tune' '#^' /chan to filter reads and writes to /chan/snarf. The -r command filters out '\r' characters while pasting text from Windows applications. When TUNE encoded Tamil text (composed using ktrans) is copied from acme-sac, the -w command converts it to Unicode Tamil. Pipefs operates on regular files also: % pipefs -r 'tr -d \xd' '#Uc:/' /n/c % pipefs -c -r 'os gunzip -f' -w 'os gzip -f' dir /n/gzipdir % cp file /n/gzipdir/file.gz This implementation doesn't honor write offsets, rewrite file sizes in Rstat messages or handle all possible error conditions.

NEWBIE: Why do hd & tl not raise an exception?
Hi everyone,
I've just started learning Limbo, and stumbled across what I consider
to be strange behaviour.
implement Broken;
include "sys.m";
include "draw.m";
sys: Sys;
Broken: module
{
init: fn(ctxt: ref Draw->Context, argv: list of string);
};
init(ctxt: ref Draw->Context, argv: list of string)
{
sys = load Sys Sys->PATH;
{
hd tl ("red :: nil);
} exception {
* =>
sys->print("Caught an exception\n");
exit;
}
}

Worked fine when I just ran it, it caught the exception.
I'm using the latest inferno release on os x if that makes any
difference. oh and I put in the extra ".

Yes, sorry about the missing `"'. When I run the program under Inferno 20070202 hosted on Slackware Linux 11, it causes a segfault and gets suspended in a broken state. (It appears as broken in the Task Manager) Regards, Ralph

Re: using Inferno on Palm
Hi, after reading the reference to T3 in the inferno-os/wiki I've put a more up-to-date description of the port, so I've wrote a small TODO [there], and tarred my latest modifications. next thing I'll like to take care is to make mc/fc work, and see what prevents running emu with jit enabled.

How to search a string from a file.
Hi, Here i'm facing problem to read the particular string from a file. I am using sys->open with OREAD to read the file from a path. After retriving all the contents from the file. I am facing a problem to search the particular string is there or not. Please any one help me to come up from this issue. If possible give some sample codes. Thanks, Ken

Re: How to search a string from a file.
Hi, There are many algorithms for doing string matching, but you can always take the easy road and use regular expressions. For an example I'll point you to the obvious one: /appl/cmd/grep.b Regards.
