I'm trying to convince my project group to use NeWS rather than X11 to develop a graphical environment for an object oriented programming language. At stanford, we just got a bunch of Sun 4's. Is the latest version of NeWS that comes with sun 4's reliable enough for development work? One of the arguments against NeWS is that all of the available implementations are too buggy. Also, is there any public on-line documentation about NeWS (like a manual), so that I can make a better decision about what system to use. Peter

Peter nope. Not that I know of. Don't you have a manual?
