If a virtualisation of the hardware is what's wanted, then why
not go for Inferno ? (Aside from not being able to run your
C programs, but there are ways around that).
cheers,

As for a C compiler generating Dis, I believe that Dis
cannot express all the things that one can do in C.
It could be done, by mapping all C objects into a single
large Dis object and all code into a single module, for
example, also providing hooks to get at some of the non-C
features. But why?
The original thread was 'what if instead of drawterm there was a
Dis-style VM and there was a C compiler for Dis so that you can
run Plan9 term under other OS, without VMware'.
