   There's some port of NeWS to the VAXstation QVSS display, for some really
old version of Ultrix, if I remember correctly.  It comes with the NeWS 1.1
sources, as part of the reference ports.  There's not necessarily any
support for more recent Ultrix (or true-blue BSD), and no support for more
interesting displays (i.e., the display on the DECstation 3100).  Get the
sources from Sun; they cost $1000 to universities.  Better yet, wait for
the X11/NeWS release, and then get the sources to *that*, if Sun makes
them available.

   If someone does a DECstation port, I'd love to hear about it.  There's
a few people here (including myself) who have thought about doing a DS3100
port, but thinking's about all that anyone here has done...
