Sell 25 copies. Or input the necessary cycles into building up ghostscript and then use it with the X11 port. Or one could always drop $100K (?) on Adobe and ask them to port Display Postscript to the Amiga. Seriously, I like NeWS as much as the next guy but unless someone wants to go broke trying to sell it in the Amiga market, the X11 port is the only real solution to a networking window system on AmigaDOS. What happens under Amiga Unix is another story, of course. Rick
