<How do I get NeWS on a commodity computer?

A port to an A1000 is possible - it's been done. Trouble is, the
people who did it had an academic source license, and don't want to
spend an arm and a leg for a license with the right to redistribute.
Net result is that you can't get a copy of that port (it was 1.0
anyway). [Aren't commercial software licenses wonderfull.]

There's also a server for the Atari ST; clients run on Suns/etc over
serial lines (at 2400 baud, even).

The Grasshopper group has a port for the Mac][, running under AUX.

There are ports to various flavors of the IBM-PC clones. I don't
recall if it requires Unix or not. Ask in comp.windows.news to get a
more complete answer.
