When repling to some news about NeWS under Open Windows I got the answer: > Here is a shell script which should do what you want... It will change > somewhat when Version 2 ships, but this will work with 1.0 and 1.0.1. What is this version 2 of XNeWS ? I am in regular contact with Sun(UK) since I am developing a large package due for release in 1992. It is entirely NeWS based, and I have not been warned of any major changes that are likely to come. Is Sun keeping us software developers in the dark again ???? -- K.A.Streater, BITNET: ba124%uk.ac.city.cs@uk.ac JANET: ba124@uk.ac.city.cs UUCP: ba124@citycs.UUCP or ..!mcvax!ukc!citycs!ba124 ARPA: ba124@cs.city.ac.uk "There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the Chronicler's mind.", Hitch-Hiker's Guide Part IV.

Version 2 is a new name for version 1.1; apparently Sun got tired of people confusing 1.1 and 1.0.1, and decided to solve the confusion by renaming 1.1. (The confusion was bad, especially because people confused the minor speedups in 1.0.1 with the promised major speedups in 1.1 (now 2), and complained that they were so small. Of course, it is now even worse, since people now tend to believe that 1.1 and 2 are different releases...) Elizabeth
