I would like to find out what the chances are of using NeWS on non-Sun
hardware. Essentially, it's the same as asking about the chances of
using OpenWindows on non-Sun hardware. I have heard (at least second-
hand) of two possibilities:
1) Sun has contracted out to third parties to port OpenWindows to
other platforms.
2) While OpenWindows will be a part of SVR4, AT&T has apparently said
that NeWS will be an optional part.
Can anyone confirm or deny these rumors? Any light on this subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-- Jim
