Is it for OpenWindows 2.0? I heard NeWS has changed between 2.0 and 3.0.

FYI: I got this error message when I tried it:

process(0x2f2088, 'alanya NeWS client', runnable)

Ostack: save[0] color(0.95,0.28,0.68) color(0.61,0.56,0.80) /setcolors canvas(0x2660f8, 1152x900, parent, retained)

I'm not a good PostScript hacker, so I refuse to look for the problem myself. :-)
