Some Sun France person said me that NeWS is dying, and that OpenWin4 will not include a NeWS server, but just an X11R6 server with Display PostScript and PEX (?) extensions. I understood that within a year (ie in middle 1993) NeWS will be dead (since OpenWin4 will be out in mid93). Requiescat in pacem. I still hope (ie dream) that someone will design an X11 extension (much like SHAPE, or PEX) that will make the server programmable, and that this extension will become widely available and supported by toolkits.... -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH Commissariat a l Energie Atomique DRN/DMT/SERMA * C.E.
