I work for an Apollo shop, and my insistence that News is far superior than X
p*sses of a lot of Apollo folks. I'm a postscript junkie as well, and believe
that News will have a lot of milage to it when X has run out of gas.
I cornered on of the heads of Apollo SW R&D at a national user group meeting:
ME: Are you guys gonna support NEWS.
THEY: No way. Its proprietary.
ME: (Blather advantages of News vs. X)
THEY: Well, we may have some sort of kernel that supports both.
Funny, thats what Sun is doing.
I thought News licenses wer only $100 for the tape. Thats not an unreasonable
figure to get a complete postscript implementation for a screen. Is Sun
willing to let AmigaNews be distributed under any conditions ?
