Plan 9 from User Space (aka plan9port)
is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native

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.

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.

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.

Latchesar Ionkov has contributed many fixes to tricky bugs.

Many other people have provided help,
ported programs, written bug reports,
sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new
systems.

The UTF-8 library, the formatted print library,
the buffered I/O library, the (Unicode-capable) regular expression
library, and mk are available in packaging separate from plan9port.
