Of late I have been delving into the exciting world of programming
clients for the NeWS window system, and I am hoping that someone might
know of the whereabouts of some Emacs-lisp code to implement a major
mode for editing Postscript, which will help with indentation,
closure, and the like. Currently my version of GNUEmacs treats ".ps"
files as plain text.

I have such a mode, unfortunately it is written for Gosling Emacs, *not*
GNU, and I do not have time or resources to convert it.  I'm also not
sure of the copyright status, but if it is permissible, I will email it
to anyone who requests it.

For software that will provide not only postscript-mode but also a
first cut at a native NeWS interface for GNU Emacs, you want to talk
with Chris Maio at Columbia University, "chris@columbia.edu".  I have
worked a bit with his NeWS support stuff for GNU Emacs 18.49, and am
quite impressed with the progress so far.  I promised him just before
Christmas and Urbana that I'd get some Pyramid bugs ironed out for
him, and never got back to it again...

The end of the README says:
>Don't send mail to rms or bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu; rms doesn't
>want to have anything to do with this because of NeWS' proprietary
>status.

RMS, if this is in fact your policy I urge you to reconsider.
Although it is understood to be unsupported by FSF, FSF already
distributes code to support native GNU Emacs interfaces to at least
one proprietary window system (SunView) and several proprietary
operating systems (most extremely VMS).

Why not agree to distribute code that supports another window system,
on the same basis (he-wrote-it-don't-blame-FSF)?  Why turn down people
who offer to contribute code to FSF's efforts?
