     89         Most obviously, plan9port derives from
     90         <a href="http://9p.io/plan9">Plan 9 from Bell Labs</a>
     91         and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the
     92         past many years.

     96         Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago,
     97         as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work.
     98         He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide
     99         the ugliness of modern Unix.

    105         (with Taj Khattra) and many of
    106         the supporting programs.  He also inspired the thread library
    107         clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.

    111         Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant

    113         <a href="man/man1/rio.html"><i>rio</i>(1)</a>.
