It's plan9. It is supposed to be at once weird and somewhat fitting.

I don't think an INSTALL script with that name is common among Plan 9 software.

Also, this project is designed for operating systems other than Plan 9.

* plan9 PORT sigh the clue is in the name

Yes, it's a plan9 port; why would you expect it to change any more than is absolutely needed to get it running on the new host OS?

Yes, not plan9.

I despair at your (and GGP) lack of comprehension

I don't think it's a lack of comprehension, so much as that we disagree what a "port" means.

I was correcting the user's "plan9" comment.

It's a port of a collection of plan 9 userspace to a non-9 operating system.

Perhaps you've now learnt something
