This morning's junk mail included a catalogue from a bookseller which
reminded me that NeWS (well, xnews) is officially part of System V r 4,
and therefore not only AT&T but a lot of other people have it too.
Given the way standards seem to devolve, maybe people will start
compiling this strange beast when they port UNIX to their products,
now that Sun have dropped it:-)
