We only got NeWS a short time ago. The version is called 1.0.
Doing some tests, it seems to have several bugs.
It doesn't repond anymore or even dumps core.
Also, a lot of PostScript operetors are not implemented, especially
almost the complete font machinery, which would be very useful to us.

I am wondering: is there really a version 1.1 ?
If so, what is the difference with version 1.0 and how sdoes one get it.

If there is no significanlty better version yet, can anyone at SUN
predict when a more complete and stable version will be avialable.
