- I fully support you in porting NeWS to Solaris. I see the following as a
- beautiful future for NeWS:
-
- 1. port NeWS3.1 to Solaris, making it multi-threaded and real time responsive.
- 2. use XIL/XGL as underpinnings so that port becomes a trivial thing between
- many suns and runs very fast.
- 3. Remove everything to do with X from the server. It just slows things down.
- 4. Make sure Sun doesn't have NeWS. It's too good for them.
