From Plan9


     Replace $user with	your username.


  ; 9fs	tcp!cloud9p.org!900 /n/chat
  ; cat	/n/chat/chat &
  ; while() echo `{date	-u -f 'hh:mm'} '<'$user'>' `{read} >> /n/chat/chat



From UNIX:


*    Install plan9port[1].


     On	OpenBSD: either	 libixp	 or  plan9port	works,	just
replace	command	name,

  $ doas pkg_add plan9port



*    Now to connect, run:


  $ 9 9p -a 'tcp!cloud9p.org!900' read chat | sed "s/$/$(echo '..')/" &
  while	read l;	do echo	$(date -u "+%H:%M") $USER → "$l"
  done | 9 9p -a 'tcp!cloud9p.org!900' write chat



     Note: hubfs does not work with tail, so it	is not	pos-
sible to run tail on the chat file.
