I recently started doing some work on a system where the preferred
window system is NeWS (if it matters, a Sun3 running 4.0 and NeWS).
I wanted, of course, to use emacs on this beast. My first reaction was
that NeWS allows SunView applications to run as well as NeWS windows.
So, I compiled emacs with the SunTools stuff and ran it.
I found that my emacs window sat on top of the other windows -- a kind
of overlay. I couldn't raise any regular NeWS windows on top of my
emacs window. There is also this hideous border around the emacs window
(a 10-20 pixel wide white "nomans land" where nothing works -- the
cursor even disappears in this area). Also, I couldn't resize it like
the NeWS windows. These problems seem to be common to any SunTools
program you happen to run.
My questions:
1) can any of this be worked around (the resize is not important)?
2) has anyone added NeWS support to emacs?
I'm hoping for a positive response to (2), but if you have any
suggestions at all ("Just use SunTools" is not an option) I'd be
interested.
thanks,

Chris Maio first did it for 18.49 or so, with appropriate updates
since. Get the patches from columbia.edu:pub/ps-emacs.tar.Z or
osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/ps-emacs.tar.Z.
