This is a note to inform people that we are actively porting a version of rn 
to NeWS. We would like to include some features not found in other incarnations
of rn. If PostScript code is encountered in a document it can immediatly be
imaged, a limited form of drag and drop, etc.. will all be a part of the final
NeWS port. I am looking for people who would be willing to beta-test this
software. Beta would probably not begin for another 2-3 weeks though.

We are also in the process of generating a system monitoring tool, which
allows user/Sysadmins to monitor system processes, query the processes about
their type and send various signals to the processes. Currently a single host
version is expected in 2 weeks, while multi-host capability will follow in
2 weeks after that. Again, I am looking for people interested in being beta
sites for this software.

I would like to thank the people who have contributed ideas, and are currently
involved in helping us make these products reality.

Peter
