	Bell Labs: Bell Labs Unveils Open Source Release of Plan 9(TM) Operating System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Plan 9 has been updated and improved in the five years since its second release; the underlying approach, however, remains the same.
		Plan 9 uses a single protocol to refer to and communicate with processes, programs, and data, including aspects of both the user interface and the network.
		Plan 9 also could be used to operate special-purpose devices such as personal firewalls for secure access to university networks, corporate intranets, or the public Internet.

	Plan 9 from Bell Labs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plan 9 replaced Unix at Bell Labs as the organization's primary platform for research and explores several changes to the original Unix model that improve the experience of using and programming the system, notably in distributed multi-user environments.
		Plan 9 from Bell Labs was developed by members of the Computing Science Research Center at Bell Labs, the same group that developed UNIX, C, and C++.
		Plan 9 extended the system beyond files to "names", that is, a unique path to any object whether it be a file, screen, user, or computer.

	Plan 9 from Bell Labs - Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Plan 9's approach means that application programs don't need to know where they are running; where, and on what kind of machine, to run a Plan 9 program is an economic decision that doesn't affect the construction of the application itself.
		The Plan 9 window system (called rio) is small and clean in part because its design is centered on providing a virtual keyboard, mouse, and screen to each of the applications running under it, while using the real keyboard, mouse, and screen supplied by the operating system.
		Plan 9 comes with its own compilers for C and other languages, together with all the commands and program-development tools originally pioneered in the Unix environment.

		At Bell Labs, they tend to use the MIPS systems for their servers and the other systems for the terminals, but again, that is not built in to the software.
		Plan 9 is also one of the first systems to use Unicode, a 16 bit character set.
		The Plan 9 windowing system is called 81/2, since it was the Eight and a half'th windowing system that Rob Pike had written.

	Plan 9 (2nd Edition) from Bell Laboratories FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Plan 9 window system (called 8½) is small and clean in part because its design is centered on providing a virtual keyboard, mouse, and screen to each of the applications running under it, while using the real keyboard, mouse, and screen supplied by the operating system.
		On Plan 9, one may grep for Cyrillic strings in a file with a Japanese name and see the results appear correctly on the terminal.
		For those using the standard Plan 9 file servers, ken@plan9.bell-labs.com reports that the disk format in the new release is the same, so there should be no problems running the new FS code on old disks.

	Plan 9
		Plan 9 is intended to be used over a heterogeneous collection of machines for the purposes of software development and general computing.
		A number of researchers at Bell Labs, believing the usefulness of Unix as a research tool to be near its limit, began development on Plan 9 in the early 1980's.
		Finally, as mentioned above, the authors of Plan 9 believe that personalised workstations are more of a bug than a feature--personalised workstations mean there is separate data to be tended and it limits the ability of users to move arbitrarily between workstations with the network.

	Plan 9 from Bell Labs
		Plan 9 began in the late 1980’s as an attempt to have it both ways: to build a system that was centrally administered and cost-effective using cheap modern microcomputers as its computing elements.
		Plan 9 provides the mechanism to assemble a personal view of the public space with local names for globally accessible resources.
		Plan 9, then, has local name spaces that obey globally understood conventions; it is the conventions that guarantee sane behavior in the presence of local names.

		Plan 9 is client/server-oriented but with a major difference: Everything is a client, and everything is a server.
		Plan 9 CPU servers are as interchangeable for their task--computation--as are ordinary terminals for theirs.
		From the services available on the network, a Plan 9 user selects those desired: a file server where personal files reside, other servers where data is kept, or a departmental file server where the software for a group project is being written.

		Plan 9 ====== In the late 1980's, the research group at Bell Labs started to feel that Unix had reached the end of its useful life as a research vehicle.
		To quote from the README file: 9wm is an X window manager which attempts to emulate the Plan 9 window manager 8-1/2 as far as possible within the constraints imposed by X. It provides a simple yet comfortable user interface, without garish decorations or title-bars.
		The research group at Bell Labs is well known for applying the ``small is beautiful'' principle to software design.

		Unfortunately, physicists have been trained to express Maxwell's laws as a relationship between a genuine vector (field) and a c.p., which means that that expression of those laws changes under reflection, something that physicists are not taught and which appears to have been overlooked in the analysis of the (nonconservation of) parity experiment.
