[comp.sys.mac] Display Postscript

STORKEL@RICE.BITNET (Scott Storkel) (07/06/88)

Sun Microsystems markets a product called NeWS (Network/extensible Window
System) based on the Display Postscript standard. I have installed NeWS, but
haven't had a chance to look at the documentation closely. You can probably
get the NeWS docs from Sun for about $15. The only manuals we have in our
library are the Sun NeWS manuals, and the Adobe printer Postscript manuals.
If you have specific questions about Display Postscript I suggest you call
Adobe. If you want to  know more about NeWS, or the NeWS manuals drop me a line
and I'll try to find the info if I get a chance.

DISCLAIMER: My opinions are my own an do not represent those of anybody at Sun
Microsystems, or Adobe. The price quoted for the above manual is a shot in the
dark. The real price is bound to be $20-$200 higher.

  Think about the name!  I'm sure it will be out by NeXT week.  The NeXT
machine is so far overdue that's almost becoming the next great piece of
vapor-ware, now that FullWrite has been released. :-)

NeXT used to hang around here, giving out t-shirts, coffee cups and posters
to management.  I think the business they're really trying to muscle in
on is the knicknack business; they sure don't have any computers.
