Dr. Bruce SimpsonGet ready to falsify! Build 'em up, knock 'em down. Dennis #Ritchie 's words stick in my brain: "Bon Appetit!" #unix #plan9 #usl #svr4 #solaris #osf1 #dynix #hpux #irix #sgi #ultrix #tru64 #sunos #bsdos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_UNIX-HATERS_Handbook (Linux was not seriously in the running at this snapshot in time.)

notptrI made a new theme for acme.
I put the theme in a file called theme.h and just defined the colors and reference them in acme.c

cs"Principia Softwarica is a series of books explaining how things work in a computer by describing with full details all the source code of all the essential programs used by a programmer. All the programs come from Plan 9 from Bell Labs, an operating system designed as the successor to Unix whose code is remarkably elegant and small."

KnightOS SDK, on Plan9, can now build the kernel, compile userspace binaries, annnnnd write a file system into the ROM and emulate it!
I've got a hello, world in asm being written to the filesystem as /bin/init, and the emulator is dumping the output as braille to the console
(KnightOS is a UNIX-like operating system for TI calculators. I've almost got a fully working build system on 9front, just need to flesh out a few more bits of the SDK
...and then port them back over to Linux so I can kill the garbage we've been using there)
