Sun have announced a Network extensible Window System (NeWS) based on
PostScript which they are going to support in the way they supported 
their NFS - ie publish the spec, license, encourage porting etc. 

NeWS is intended to be operating system independent, and in a talk here 
recently Bill Joy mentioned that implementations on some PCs were being 
tested.  Has anyone out there in netland got any more information on
these implementations ?

Thanks
