Hi all,

I was told that NeXT apps cannot be displayed on other platforms
than NeXT. Isn't there a mechanism, an extension to some X-Server
that is able to display NeXT apps remotely? I first thought,
well it is about display PostScript, so X11 with DGS should do the
trick, but instead I hear that the mechanism is called NSHosting
and now I wonder whether someone has already tackled that under
Linux/XFree86 or the like.

Thanks a whole lot for sharing your ideas!

Marco

The problem is (probably among other things), that NeXT DPS has a 
bunch of extensions that are not in the standard Adobe DPS (nor are 
they in DGS).  And NSHosting is just between NeXT Computers.
