One of the many bugs listed in the developers release of Open Windows is
the fact that the NeWS side is not device independent! Sun has done a lot of
things wrong in attempting to promote NeWS but taking the device independence
out of PostScript has to rank among the big ones. One of the major reasons
we develop under NeWS was the fact that PostScript was device independent.
Sun does not consider this a very important bug according to the ratings in
the bug report. How can this be? Could someone please enlighten me about
why this was done or if it will change any time soon?
