    It may be that the old Wingz for NS 1.0 will run under NS 2.0 on a
030 cube.  (After all, they are supposed to be object compatible.)
The person I talked to did say that it wasn't supported on the
NeXTStation.  ie, an 040.  

    For those of you running Wingz, is there any way to get EPS out of it?
I want to be able to use Wingz graphs in LaTeX or TeX.  

BTW, is there a GNU spreadsheet?  I've heard rumors...
