I've put a couple of raytrace images I generated with WireFrame onto the 
archives for perusal. They're in 24bit colour tiff, and would make some
cool background material... the modelling package should be in the
submissions directory as well.

/pub/next/submissions/cold.tiff.Z
/pub/next/submissions/cold.README
/pub/next/submissions/warm.tiff.Z
/pub/next/submissions/warm.README

Here's the readmes:

Shown is a plane, with blue ambient light, and a cyan light source
in the foreground. In between the viewer and the light source is
a low-density transparent sphere. Various spheres habitate the 
plane.

Poor NeXT... Any new announcement hurts current sales. I think they hoped to
keep this secret until 8/92. It all depends on price strategy for NRW and
Turbo machines of course.

It is good for NeXT that the other decisions haven't leaked yet ... ;-)

goes, "either lead, follow, or get out of the way."

   How much MIME-compatible software is there commercially?  How much

are you telling me that NeXT is distributing newsgrazer with their

compatible is there available commercially?  there are plenty of
MIME-compatible implementations out there.  Just give the vendors a
little bit of time to incorporate them into their own systems.  It
takes a good bit of time to make a production release of an OS, and
incorporating new features like MIME will take a bit of time.  But if
you want to use MIME today, you can easily do it by getting one of the
freely available clients to let you do so.

Indeed.  The original "barbershop MIME" message was just a pointer to
a sound file available for anonymous FTP, and it took up a lot less
room.  

Mark, if you're going to post useful MIME stuff, send out pointers
to where you can get MIME code (in MIME format, naturally).  I'd like
to see it as a standard for making announcements of where to FTP stuff,
& in fact I'll be starting to post some of those once the RFC is issued
to comp.archives.

Yes, patching NewsGrazer so that it used metamail to display MIME
messages should be very easy.  The metamail distribution comes with
patches for over a dozen mail & news readers, which should be useful as
a model for how to patch other things such as NewsGrazer.

The main reason I'm replying, however, is to point out that Doug has
jumped the gun slightly.  The "latest" version of Andrew that he refers
to has NOT yet been publicly released -- an easy mistake for him to
make, since he's at CMU.  I believe the Andrew Consortium is planning to
release the MIME-smart version of Andrew some time this month, but to my
knowledge it has not happened yet.  -- Nathaniel

Very good question. At this point, given the information available, one
should be very careful re getting a ND. In fact unless it can't be avoided
I would recommend that noone buys a ND board until NeXT states its
intentions with respect to that product. 

Moreover, it is really odd that the only way Cube owners can get colour is
to get a ND. Not even Apple was that unreasonable.

Another good question. If NeXT wanted to reassure its user base they would.
After all one of the selling points of the Cube was mach, upgradable,etc...
However, the recent OD incident does leave me pessimistic. Its hard to
feel secure with NeXt at this time. It's a high stakes game.

We do this to get the a higher top scrolling speed.  Since we try to script  
everything, we want to blast the text across the screen as fast as possible  
(and pay less in connect time), capture it to a file, log off, and bring it up  
in a custum front end.  For 1.0, we will have some very nice front ends that

Chat mode, on Compuserve, is a special mode that could be duplicated with a  
custom front end.  We don't support it now, but we are looking into a chat mode  
for our 1.0 release.  If it's not in then, we can always distribute a document  
that does a chat mode.

Thank you very much.  And for people wondering why you only paid $99, you

Believe it or not, most people are not going to use TeX on any platform simply  
because it's a bitch to use (you and I think it's easy, but most people don't  
like to write typesetting code).  "most poeple" are going to buy PasteUp or  
FrameMaker and not even think about TeX.  I'd be willing to bet that less than  
5% of NeXT users right now use TeX, and probably less will use it in the future  
as more NeXTstep computers hopefully end up on executive's desk.

I think you are being limited in your evaluation of the NeXT computer's ease of  
use.  Workstations are hard for people who are not unix weenies to use.  PC's  
aren't.  NeXT is going to have a much harder time competing with Macintoshes  
since Macs are already easy to use.  Sun's are hard to use.  Lots of people are  
giving up their tricked out 486s and are going to Sparcstations.  NeXT gives  
you what's good about a Sparcstation (speed, real operating system) and what's  
good about a Macintosh (sexy and easy to use interface) rolled up into an as of  
yet unbeatable development environment.

Apple is going to sell more LC-II computers in 3 or 4 months than there are  
NeXT computers in existance.  This is one gem of high-technology.  It's got a  
32-bit 68030 processor on a 16-bit bus.  It's no faster than the 020 based LC.   
I think someone at Apple figured out that they could just cram in an 030 more  
cheaply than slightly redesigning the board for a 6551 PMMU chip (the only  
reason for the 030 was to support sys-7 vm).  NeXT just can't compete with  
this.  If people are willing to buy a piece of crap like the LC-II, why on  
earth would they buy an 'expensive' computer like a NeXT?

NeXT can compete with Sun though.  Trying to compete with someone who will  
definitely crush you in the near term (Apple or Microsoft) will just waste your  
energy and money and not do any good.  According to the NeXT propoganda, they  
are doing very well against Sun when a company considers both NeXT and Sun.   
This is good.  It took NeXT a while to find a market in which they could  
succeed in, but now that they have found it, they are really concentrating  
their energies.  Concentrating your energies on one thing is so much better  
than flip-flopping between target markets...

Actually, Scott picked up on my earlier errneous post that incorrectly  
attributed the cause to the "&" in the name.  In reality, it was too many  
components in the name.   But, Don, you can't fix this problem by editing  
newsrc;  NewsGrazer blows up when it is reading the active group list

I dutifully sent mail on the subject to "newsgrazer@next.com", and was

internal policy.  I wish we knew more about the policy, but that should

% I also added the following code to control.c in inews.
% 
% #ifndef ALLOWBOGUSGROUPS
% {
% int	num_sections;
% char	*tptr;
% char	cur_char;
% 
% tptr = argv[1];
% num_sections = 0;
% while (cur_char = *tptr++)
% 	{
% 	if (cur_char == '.' && num_sections++ > 8))
% 	{
% 		logerr ("Newsgroup %s has too many parts", argv[1]);
%     		return (1);
%  	}
% 	
% 	if (!isalnum (cur_char) && (strchr ("+-_.", cur_char) == 0))
% 	{
% 		logerr ("Bad character in newsgroup name %s", argv[1]);
% 		return (1);
% 	}
% }
% }
% #endif
