I apologize for my tone and for naming people inside Sun in my last message.

I will respond to Trevor Darrells comments.  I am developing a large window
based application.  I have to decide between X and NeWS soon.  Perhaps now
is an inopportune time to make such a commitment. I desire only to lower
development effort, cost and frustration (Which is, regretably, visibly
high.).  The question is germane and barely "flame-bait."

My initial, more docile query on this subject went entirely unanswered.  My
recent, virulent posting resulted in a Sun representative calling me.

I agree with many of your comments re the technical superiority of NeWS, Mr.
Darrells.  While I'm mollified, my toolkit question remains mostly
unanswered (lite's all that's in sight?).

Sun is committed to NeWS.  I'll stick to coding.  "Flames" to me, please.
