The Grasshopper Group has done an X.11/NeWS merge window system that
ran on Sun 3/50s (like an Xterm).  They had first done a NeWS 1.1
terminal whicjh had very good preformance.  The X.11/NeWS merge they
showed at Summer Usenix was slow.. but they had just finished the
first phase of the port and hadn't hacked for preformance.  Last I
heard they hadn't decided what they were going to do with.

Hello Grasshopper?  Hugh?  John?  There are many of us who are interested
in this if you ever sell it.
