Some time ago, I volunteered to try to port InterViews to NeWS in my spare time. A great deal has happened since then, so here's an update on our status: We are currently awaiting a beta tape of InterViews 2.4, which contains some reorganizations which should ease porting. We have received corporate blessing to port InterViews to SunView as an official project, but not to NeWS. Apparently the feeling is that porting to straight NeWS is a waste of time given the upcoming X11/NeWS merge. The bottom line: a port to SunView is underway, while a port to NeWS is on the back burner. As of this Friday, I will no longer be with Cadnetix. My new company isn't on the net (I hope to change this) and doesn't use Suns or NeWS. Anyway, it looks like my involvement with an InterViews port is likely at an end. The person here at Cadnetix who is working on a SunView port is Jim Sharpe (sharp@cadnetix.com). The resultant port will be put back into the public domain. Anyway, such is the state of affairs. Hopefully my net.absence will be short-lived. Bye. Gordon Durand / gad@cadnetix.com / {uunet,boulder}!cadnetix!gad
