No one mentioned HyperLook or SimCity, they're good examples
of what can be done with NeWS. The great thing about the HyperLook
runtime is that you get a full featured PostScript Graphics Editor
thrown in "for nowght".

1. Where to FTP the HyperLook runtime from.
-------------------------------------------

The HyperLook look runtime system can be obtained via anonymous ftp
from the following sites (the turing.com site also provides product
and ordering information):

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9)         graphics/NeWS/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)  computing/vendor/turing.com/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z

2. Where to FTP SimCity from.
-----------------------------

Good news!  The HyperLook edition of SimCity for SPARC is now
available via anonymous ftp.

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/SimCity.tar.Z
ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9)         vendor/dux/SimCity.tar.Z
src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.2.1)  computing/vendor/turing.com/SimCity.tar.Z

Check out how fast SimCity graphics are, they use shared
memory canvases, the lava lamp that Don Hopkins put up for
ftp on turing.com (CAM.tar.Z methinks) is a pretty good demo too.
