Has anyone taken the NeWS source and ported it to a VAX? I don't mean ported the client to run on a VAX, I mean ported the server to run AND display on a VAX. If not, know of anyone who has at least tried? Thanks in advance --- W.

I think sun themselves did it to demonstrate how portable NeWS was but take that with a grain of salt.

I guess Sun wants to keep it quiet, even from themselves because I received a reply from someone at Sun requesting information on any positive replies I received :^) Some folks say that there is a port in the NeWS source, but I have not seen any such animal in the source that is available for me to look at. If such an animal exists, I would have expected that someone would be running it, but as of yet I have not received anything saying that "yes we are running NeWS on our VAX". --- W.

If you buy the sources from SUN you get something like VAX-station support. But I must admit I haven't looked into it, we don't use that type of machine around here. -- Tom van Peer. E-mail: mcvax!nlgvax!tom or tom@nlgvax.pcg.philips.nl or peer@vangogh.prl.philips.nl

If not, know of anyone who has at least tried? You might try the Grasshopper Group. At SUG they indicated they were possibly interested in doing other ports. They have a MAC port for A/UX I think. -- Kevin Brighton kevin@jtsv16.jts.com JTS Computer Systems Ltd. uunet!jtsv16!kevin Toronto, Ontario, CANADA +1 416 665-8910
