A friend of mine has heard via a NeXT employee that Steve
Jobs has announced at the launch of NeXT France that Pixar
will release a version of Renderman for the NeXT. Acording to 
my source, it will run on all flavours of NeXT and will
use the i860 on the dimension board to give real time shading!
Also the jpeg chip cock up has been fixed - NeXT are making
a daughter board containing a compression chip for the
dimension board.
Has anyone else heard about these issues??
