If a core dump is generated, sending a backtrace will help a great deal. You can get a backtrace like this. ; gdb rc core (gdb) where <<>> (gdb) Also, always report the machine, OS (`uname -a'), and compiler used to make rc; this information is extremely valuable. FEEPING CREATURISM See the end of the man page, under "INCOMPATABILITIES" for (known?) differences from the "real" rc. Most of these changes were necessary to get rc to work in a reasonable fashion on a real (i.e. commercial, non-Labs) Unix system; a few were changes motivated by concern about some inadequacies in the original design. ASSOCIATED PACKAGES rc uses a set of printing routines originally written by Paul Haahr. Scott Schwartz has developed this as a separate package which is available from comp.sources.unix v29i017. rc can be linked with the editline library. This was developed by Simmule Turner and Rich $alz, and is available from here. ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tgoodwin/rc/misc/editline-1.5.tar.gz A package with similar aims (that is, to be a lightweight command line editing library) is vrl. This was developed by Gert-Jan Vons, and is available from here. ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/tgoodwin/rc/misc/vrl-1.2.tar.gz Alternatively, rc can be linked with GNU readline versions 2.1 or 2.2. This is available from the master FSF distribution site, and its many mirrors. ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/readline-2.2.tar.gz There are a number of other programs which, like rc, are Unix implementations of Plan 9 tools. Rob Pike's editor sam has been ported to X, and is available from here. http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/research/sam.shar.gz Gary Capell has written wily, a reimplementation of the Plan 9 acme. Although it may sound oxymoronic, wily is a minimalist "integrated development environment" for X. Further information can be found here. http://www.cs.su.oz.au/~gary/wily/ James Matthew Farrow has written 9term, and David Hogan 9wm. These are, respectively, a terminal emulator and window manager for X with the Plan 9 "look and feel". http://www.psrg.cs.usyd.edu.au/~matty/9term/index.html http://dhog.g7.org/dhog/9wm.html
