Can anyone tell me how to get a copy of NeWS (windowing system) for the Amiga?
Then please do.

Well, my suggestion would be to phone Sun and ask if anyone has ported it to the Amiga. If not, buy a source licence and port it ... we'd all be very happy! :-) :-) -- -- Blair MacIntyre, Professional Leech on Society ( aka CS Graduate Student ) -- bmacintyre@{watcgl, watdragon, violet}.{waterloo.edu, UWaterloo.ca} -- Date, verb: prearranged socializing with intent.

The system was never released as a product. People wanting a network windowing system on the Amiga should check out the X11 offering by GfxBase. Rick Spanbauer Ameristar Technology

A company named Ameristar has ported NeWS to the Amiga. I saw it at SIGGRAPH two years ago. The performance was quite disapointing and they would not sell me a copy. A bunch of SUN people were in the booth and were quite happy about the port to such a cost effective platform. They were in a corner of the Commodore booth, so if you want more information, perhaps Commodore can put you in touch with Ameristar. Phil Cohen Research Institute of Scripps Clinic

First, an apology in advance. I know that this discussion just happened.
I saw it and ignored it. Now, all of a sudden, I care about it. Sorry
about that.
One of our faculty members, who is very much involved in using and enhancing
the NeWS environment, has an Amiga at home. He'd like to run NeWS there.
Does an out-of-the-box port exist? Can you provide me with references and
phone numbers? How much physical memory is required? What else do I need
to know?
Any assistance appreciated. Please respond via email.
Thanks,
