    Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9port)
    is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native
    <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/">Plan 9</a>
    environment to Unix-like operating systems.

        Most obviously, plan9port derives from
        <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9">Plan 9 from Bell Labs</a>
        and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the
        past many years.

        Many people have provided help,
        ported programs, written bug reports, 
        sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new
        operating systems.  A few have done far more than their fair share.

        Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,
        as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.
        He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide
        the ugliness of modern Unix.

        William Josephson handled
        <a href="man/man1/troff.html"><i>troff</i>(1)</a>
        (with Taj Khattra) and many of
        the supporting programs.  He also inspired the recent thread library
        clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.
        
        <Table><tr height=10><td></table>
        
        Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant
        work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning
        <a href="man/man1/rio.html"><i>rio</i>(1)</a>.
        Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.

        Eric Van Hensbergen brought the system up on Linux/PowerPC.

        The UTF-8 library, the formatted print library,
