I created a few videos of sessions with rio and acme that will be interesting for new Plan 9 users. Rio and acme are the most used user interfaces on Plan 9 systems.

Here are sources to a few Plan9(TM) programs I've written.

  • tippi (named after our cat) and its shell script driver target (named after our dog) provide a simple way to spy on the mouse buttons on Plan9. Its elegance is really a reflection of the beautiful environment that Plan9 provides. To see how it works, watch one of the videos above.

  • Digital Camera Filesystem: This is a simple user level filesystem (for Plan9) that presents the contents of a digital camera as a multi-level directory containing pics (still images), seqs (sequences), and clips (video clips) directories. It uses parts of the PhotoPC package for the low level TWAIN protocol. Charles Forsyth ported PhotoPC to Plan9 and makes it available here. The low level io functions included in dcfs come from this work.

  • bdf2subf: A BDF to Plan9 font format converter. This was a temporary solution until ttf2subf came along.

  • A display program for popi images in Plan9.

Other odds and ends:

  • Shell-archive package of sources for a tetris game for the DMD/630 terminals.
  • An rc script for generating html pages for picture galleries. Piggy is simple and makes a lot of assumptions. It uses resample to generate the picture thumbnails. There is no documentation. Try it out in a scratch directory first.
