I've had a chance to demo a Beta copy of the merged X11/News server with
the Open Look interface etc., etc.  *This was a beta-1 version*, but...
if they're going to make a July shipment date, there's a lot of midnight
oil that will have to be burned ripping the bugs out of this piece of
software.  I have no comments about the interface in particular but
I do hope that Sun doesn't plan us to finish beta testing for them the
way they did SunOS4.0.

The SunView interface  will be the same running on X or Sunview.
