At the University of Tromsoe, Norway, we want to port NeWS to
Hewlett-Packard Workstations. We are basically interested in the final
result, not in the porting task itself. Hence we'll appreciate all kind of
help, including obtaining object and/or source code from someone who
have done the port already.
Target machines are Hewlett-Packard 9000, series 300. Displays are 98549
(low resolution) and 98550 (high resolution, catseye).
Our final goal is to port X11/NeWS, but we are preared to start with
NeWS 1.1. Currently we only have the source code and the source license for
NeWS 1.1 and a "prerelease evaluation agreement" for X11/NeWS. We hope to
obtain the X11/NeWS source code (beta reference version) from Sun soon.
The port is important for us. It will increase our pool of "NeWS-machines"
from 4 to more than 60.
Any information that will ease our work are very welcome:
- Source code of key modules or entire ports
- Executable code (HP9000/300 display 98549/98550)
- Hints and advices
Thanks in advance.
