43 is a port of many Plan 9 programs from their native

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

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

105 William Josephson handled
106 <a href="man/man1/troff.html"><i>troff</i>(1)</a>
107 (with Taj Khattra) and many of
108 the supporting programs. He also inspired the thread library
109 clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.

113 Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant
114 work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning
115 <a href="man/man1/rio.html"><i>rio</i>(1)</a>.
116 Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.

125 Many other people have provided help,
