mail 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: adding one color to 8 1/2 I have stored in ftp://ftp.univ-paris8.fr/people/jm/plan9 a simple modification to 8 1/2, to have an uniform color instead of the black and white pattern on the background screen. The color is specified with -r color. Colors names are values for the RVB fields: "8.5 -r bee" for example. .
