In a recent SUN handout entitled "Sun's X11/NeWS" (looks like Dec. 87)
the target delivery date is given as July 1988 in an unbundled product.
I do not believe that the merged system will be part of SunOS 4.0.

A related question:  one of the fallouts of the SUN/AT&T agreement
has been that SUN people have been bragging that NeWS and other 
components of the Sun environment will be available to anyone with
an AT&T source license.  I find the licensing restrictions that
AT&T imposes unpalatable.  Should I conclude that therefore the
SUN/AT&T cooperation will imply that I will *not* be able to get
future versions of NeWS?
