I installed plan9 and enjoyed it. It is very small and nice OS. So I
decided to try to do something for it. I choose XaoS because it is
colorful, animated simply completely diferrent from plan9 applications I
have. I enjoyed simplicity of 8 1/2 programming, speed of compiler and
quite like acme except I am unable to move cursor by other way than
mouse. 

The new version is really improved. But I still have unsolved following
problems (please if you know how to solve them please let me know...
patches and fixes are appreciated):

  o  INT_MAX does not exist so I am unable to get real bounds if int etc.
  o  I am unable catch keys like arrows or releasing of keys... so arrows keys
     are emulated using [ ] ; ' keys and it is quite ugly.
  o  Text printing has some strange problem - does not print empty lines.
  o  Cut&paste and GUI support is not imlemented.

Other parts seem to work. Please let me know about all problems.
