Peter DaSilva responds: > I really don't know how you can combine X and NeWS. I think I said that X is just a name. I believe that the client server concept espoused by NeWS is the right one .. exactly the same one that Apollo has used quite well for 10 years now. X is just a name.. a label just as Fortran is now. Peter DaSilva responds: >Now it may be that Sun, AT&T, and Berkeley have forgotten their roots. I believe the above three define the label UNIX. V7 is now obsolete and used only on obsolete systems. Roots smoots.. if you want to start that I will start telling you about how NeWS should do things that Apollo did 10 years ago!!! But no one learns from anyone else anymore. Until OSF comes out with something I believe those three (and now less so Berkeley) define UNIX. I hope that NeXT makes some headway before OSF spawns another monster.
