Maybe. But then you wan't have an access to their (much better) imaging model. You can set X11ONLY mode when running xnews. This cuts out the PostScript stuff and pswm. When I was stuck on an 8-meg 3/260 (diskless) I often ran xnews with X11ONLY set and gwm as the window manager. On my SPARCStation-1 with 20-megs and local disk I just run the whole thing. It rarely pages. Note, that running both the X and NeWS interpreters has an added time penalty. I must also read comp.windows.news :-) -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
