When plumbing an address like `3-`, Acme selects line 1, and similarly `3+` selects line 5. The same problem can be observed for character addresses (`#123+`) but _not_ for ones like `+`, `.+` or `/foo/+`: The problem only occurs when a number is followed by a direction (`-`/`+`). Following along with the example `3-` through `address` (in addr.c): We read `3` into `c` and match the `case` on line 239. The `while` loop on line 242ff reads additional digits into `c` and puts the first non-digit back by decrementing the index `q`. Then we find the range for line 3 on line 251 and continue. On the next iteration, we set `prevc` to the last `c`, but since that part read ahead _into `c`_, `c` is currently the _next_ character we will read, `-`, and now `prevc` is too. Then in the case block (line 210) the condition on line 211 holds and Acme believes that it has read two `-` in sequence and modifies the range to account for the “first” `-`. The “second” `-` gets applied after the loop is done, on line 292. So the general problem is: While reading numbers, Acme reads the next character after the number into `c`. It decrements the counter to ensure it will read it again on the next iteration, but it still uses it to update `prevc`. This change solves the problem by reading digits into `nc` instead. This variable is used to similar effect in the block for directions (line 212) and fills the role of “local `c` that we can safely use to read ahead” nicely. |

This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.
Installation
To install, run ./INSTALL. It builds mk and then uses mk to run the rest of the installation.
For more details, see install(1), at install.txt in this directory and at https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man1/install.html.
Documentation
See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/ for more documentation. (Documentation is also in this tree, but you need to run a successful install first. After that, "9 man 1 intro".)
Intro(1) contains a list of man pages that describe new features or differences from Plan 9.
Helping out
If you'd like to help out, great! The TODO file contains a small list.
If you port this code to other architectures, please share your changes so others can benefit.
Git
You can use Git to keep your local copy up-to-date as we make changes and fix bugs. See the git(1) man page here ("9 man git") for details on using Git.
