Do the folks who are suggesting a port of X for the ST know that NeWS has already been ported to the ST? That's right, Sun's NeWS window system has been ported to the ST by some folks at Sun. I've seen pictures of it. And my Sun salesman claims Sun is undecided about what to do with. So.. 1) If you want NeWS, put some pressure on your local Sun representative. I'm trying to get a copy of NeWS for the ST from mine. 2) Big window systems *can* be ported to the ST. The folks considering the X port should be happy to know it can be done. Having both would put the Atari ST way ahead in terms of offering standard window interfaces. --Dwight Mckay, ECN Workstation Software Support [arpanet: mckay@ee.ecn.purdue.edu, usenet: ...ihnp4!pur-ee!mckay] [Compu-serve: 75776,1521, office: EE 348B, phone: (317) 494-3561]
