> I really don't know how you can combine X and NeWS.

I think I said that X is just a name. I believe that the client server
concept espoused by NeWS is the right one .. exactly the same one that
Apollo has used quite well for 10 years now. X is just a name.. a label
just as Fortran is now.

Peter DaSilva responds:
>Now it may be that Sun, AT&T, and Berkeley have forgotten their roots.
I believe the above three define the label UNIX. V7 is now obsolete  and
used only on obsolete systems. Roots smoots.. if you want to start that
I will start telling you about how NeWS should do things that Apollo did
10 years ago!!! But no one learns from anyone else anymore.  Until OSF
comes out with something I believe those three (and now less so Berkeley)
define UNIX. I hope that NeXT makes some headway before OSF spawns another
monster.
