 With regard to the NeWS/X.11 and Sun 4.0 release, I have the following
information from our SUN reps as of two days ago.

NeWS 1.1 is now about to be shipped and may already be shipping. (I have
had a beta 1.1 for a couple of months now.)  It is not tied to the release
of 4.0 which is likely in late Spring. 

The merged NeWS/X.11 product will be bundled with the release 4.1 in the
fall.

The current 4/110 which I was playing with last week appeared to be
running the sparc 3.2 release of the operating system the same as
my 4/260.

I do not believe that X.11 will be released as a separate product.  So
that will have to come from MIT or by waiting for the merged product
in 4.1.

The new Sunview 2.0 will run on top of the merged product.

If I have any of this incorrect it is not the fault of my SUN reps
since they were clear about things as they understand them at this
time.  I welcome corrections to this from SUN.
