Yes, I think I know what you mean: the version of wily that I packaged
to use the 9libs libraries, rather than Gary's original distribution.

The usage message says this:
wily [-c ncolumns] [-t tabsize] [-e command]
[-f|-p9font varfont] [-F|-p9fixed fixfont] [file1 ...]
which might be me trying to make the options compatible with acme. Yes,
from the manual page:
acme [ -f varfont ] [ -F fixfont ] [ -c ncol ] [ -b ] [ -l file | file
... ]

Sorry; there's obviously a bit of confusion as to what's considered the
official version of wily. The 9libs one was more a proof of concept to
show how the 9libs build system would work (download the packages you
want, build them in one go). It never really got integrated into the
main release (though that's probably more due to there being no wily
development activity at all at the time than anything else, I think).

That's something I pulled out of the libXg library for 9libs: if I
remember correctly wily uses a version of libXg that has extra code to
recognise the cursor arrows, but which wasn't consistent with the libXg
used by other programs (sam for example).
