                             Session Code T23

Time: Tuesday 6-Dec-88 2:30pm

Moderator: Mark Krieger, UniPress Software Inc.

This  session  will  bring together X11/NeWS developers.   We  will  review
interesting  NeWS projects being done on Suns,  and we will discuss  future
Sun plans for X11/NeWS and NDE.

Speaker: Mark Krieger

Topic:   C2PS  -- a C to Postscript Compiler.  Last year at this session  a
number  of  developers  asked  for  a language  like  C,   in  addition  to
PostScript,   as  a way to write NeWS applications.  C2PS compiles  C  into
PostScript.   While the user must understand the PostScript model,  and the
NeWS environment,  the code itself can be written in C.


Speaker: Maurice Balick, Architec

Topic:   OS/2  NeWS.  NeWS has been ported to OS/2!  Use your PC's as  NeWS
servers.  Write OS/2 applications with a real window system.


Speaker: Bruce Schwartz, Sun Microsystems

Topics:   An object oriented drawing program under NeWS.  NeWS on a  serial
port.

Question and Answer Session:

Technical  questions  about X/NeWS or NeWS?  Questions about  Sun's  future
plans? This is the time to ask.

Don  Hopkins,   who moderates newsmakers,  Ralph Derricksen of the Sun  NDE
group,  and various Sun NeWS and NDE people have told us they will attend.
