Well, after following the threads of discussion here for a while longer,
NeWS is looking more and more desirable. How UNIX-dependent is NeWS, and
how tightly can you compile display PostScript. Also, are NeWS or DP very
proprietary? I think the ever-more-baroque growth of System V is showing
just what the problem is with a proprietary standard that doesn't get the
advantage of competing sub- and super-sets.

NeWS looks like a natural for systems with efficient lightweight processes
like the Amiga.
