It is retailing for 225$ (I think - it is not too pricey). They have a booth at USENIX right now and it demos pretty nicely. I will tell one of them to contact you for mailing information. Er

There are three companies doing NeWS for Macintoshes today: Grasshopper Group Hugh Daniel 212 Clayton Street San Fransisco CA 94117 +1 408 266-4783 grasshopper@toad.com They do NeWS for A/UX on Macintosh. Some excerpts from their brouschure: * Works with NeWS servers from SUN, Silicon Graphics, Whitechapel, Acorn * OPENLook will run under NeWS * "Complete client source is, of course, included" * run under A/UX 1.0 with A/UX supported monitors. minimum 4MB RAM and 5MB disk is recommended. * $225 for release 1.1.01 extra machine on the same network $150 extra manual $25 Wedge Computer Dick Bonsai 2 Winter Street Waltham, MA 02154 +1 617 891-1313 They do NeWS for MacOS. I called them and they said they have "released" a beta-version with communicates with a SUN (yes it must be a SUN) via the seral line (no TCP/IP or netting so far). They are considering a TCP/IP version by the end of the year. The big release of the seral-line-version should be out by the end of this summer. Liason 42 Robert Esbury Australia +61 612 922-7099 They do NeWS for MacOS. Due to time differenses (+9h) I have not been able to reach them. maybe someone else on the net (in Australia!) could give it a try? Unfortunately, no luck so far for me who want to run NeWS on MacOS on TCP/IP to our SUNs. Unless Liason 42 show up to be something... /hans -- Hans Eriksson Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Box 1263, S-164 28 KISTA, Sweden Tel: +46 8 752 15 27 Ttx: 812 61 54 SICS S Fax: +46 8 751 72 30 Internet (uucp): hans@sics.se EAN: hans@sics.sunet
