Another problem with NeWS was that few applications exploited its
power... the only ones I can think of are Frame (ahem :^)
HyperLook and SimCity. If you don't know what HyperLook is you
should get hold of the FREE runtime version (if only for the full
featured PostScript Graphics Editor). You might also want to look
at that well known GIS application SimCity :^)

The HyperLook Runtime system is available for free via anonymous ftp,
from the following systems:

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9)         graphics/NeWS/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)  computing/vendor/turing.com/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z

SimCity, the award winning game, developed using HyperLook is
now available for FTP too!

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/SimCity.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9)         vendor/dux/SimCity.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)  computing/vendor/turing.com/SimCity.tar.Z

You should get the files "SimCity.README" and "SimCity.INSTALL"
before you decide to ftp SimCity.

HyperLook Requirements
----------------------
- SunOS 4.1.1 or higher on a SPARC workstation
- OpenWindows version 2.0 with TNT version 2.0 or OpenWindows version 3.0
- Gray/Color screen

P.S. turing.com has a pretty slow link.
