Does anyone out there know if X11/NeWS will eventually be included into SunOS ? If not then it'll be a boo boo though. I mean, I don't see why Sun still continues to ship their machines with 1st generation kernel-based (yuck !!) window systems when other manufacturers are shipping their products with network-based window systems. I think that Sun is falling behind in this regard. The argument for existing X & SunView applications is really irrelevant here as XView is available from MIT. -- regards. -eric-

I think that >Sun is falling behind in this regard. At the X11/NeWS BOF, which was held on Thursday evening at the USENIX Conference in Baltimore last week, Darlene Mann, Product Manager Windows Marketing, indicated that it would be part of the standard software package with a Sun. It will come on a different distribution tape, so that a new release of X11/NeWS will not hold up a release of SunOS or visa versa. George W.
