currently working on sys_plan9.c. It's coming along, just very slowly.

edit: I wish Carmack would have listen/been informed of a revelation from Rob Pike from 1989[1]:
Simple rule: include files should never include include files. If instead they state (in comments or implicitly) what files they ...
