To clarify things (unofficially) I believe Sun will also provide SunView to those people who: 1) Don't want X, NeWS, X11/News, Xview, etc. 2) Have limited resources on their machine (Sun 3/50, Sun 2, etc.) They cannot FORCE someone to convert to X11/NeWS. So it will be an option. Eventually SunView will die out, Like Sun 2's. > Anyway Crispin Goswell has a public domain postscript >interpreter but it is hard to compile and half of the postscript code I >tried doesn't resemble a printed page. There were some patches that supposedly allows it to work in a sub-window instead of the frame buffer. These patches didn't work to well. Also - it used the Hersey fonts, I believe. -- Bruce G.
