I'd be grateful. Another issue is the number of machines the client libraries have been ported to. For instance, I ported the client code to a vax, so I can use psterm and NeWS/emacs on a vax. Has anyone done this with a convex? I started this and when I had to research the format of the floating point code, I postposted the effort. Another topics: Sorry, but I forgot where I saw this, but.... Some company is selling a NeWS *clone* to run on a MS-DOS machine. I want a window environment at home that lets me develop and debug tools that can be used standalone or thru a modem to my machine at work. NeWS is the obvious solution, but I don't know of anyone with practical experience. Do you have to use SLIP? Does anyone have any tools? I am aware of Bruce Schwartz's NeWSline program. Does anyone have any experience using NeWS as a remote window system over a 2400 baud modem? -- Bruce G. Barnett a.k.a. uunet!steinmetz!barnett,
