NIX to Plan 9 command translation

#<h2>UNIX to Plan 9 command translation</h2> <p>The command set of
#Plan 9 is similar to that of UNIX. The commands fall into several
#broad classes. Some are new programs for old jobs: programs like
#<tt>ls</tt>, <tt>cat</tt>, and who have familiar names and functions
#but are new, simpler implementations. Who, for example, is a shell
#script, while <tt>ps</tt> is just 95 lines of C code. Some commands
#are essentially the same as their UNIX ancestors: <tte>awk</tt>,
#<tt>troff</tt>, and others have been converted to ANSI C and
#extended to handle Unicode, but are still the familiar tools. Some
#are entirely new programs for old niches: the shell <tt>rc</tt>,
#text editor <tt>sam</tt>, debugger <tt>acid</tt>, and others
#displace the better-known UNIX tools with similar jobs. Finally,
#about half the commands are new.
#
#<p>Compatibility was not a requirement for the system. Where the old
#commands or notation seemed good enough, we kept them. When they
#didn't, we replaced them.
#
#<p>The following list of some UNIX commands, which you can emulate
#in Plan 9 system: <p> <pre> UNIX Plan 9 from Bell Labs
