I really don't think it is their fault. Sure everybody agrees
that NeWS (with a little work) was far superior to X. But then
you had every other Unix vendor jumping on the X11 band wagon
just because Sun was working on NeWS, X11 was it's only
competitor.

The same applies to OpenLook, all the rest of the lemmings did not
choose Motif until Sun went OpenLook.

I like NeWS to but Sun had to go with X, what choice did they have.
As for the future of NeWS, release the source to the world, it is
the only way it will have a future.

This looks like the old problem with NeWS classes not being 
loaded on startup.  Note that it thinks the framebuffer is 
a raw NeWS canvas rather than an instance of a TNT class.  
If you add

   ClassFramebuffer pop

after the packages are loaded, it will probably work ok.

I remember reading a while ago (in this newsgroup) that Sun had announced that 
NeWS was not longer in their product line. Is this correct? Does this mean the
death of NeWS? Or will someone else take over?

Is it NeWS grabbing the colors or is it jet's fault.

After running jet on a OW3 setup there are only about 40 colors
of a 256 color palette left.

It would be a shame if NeWS gets canned. It can solve so many
problems that X will eventually face. Dave Rosenthal discussed some of
these issues at the 1990 SUG:


X Frame Buffer assumptions:
	a rectangular array
	square pixels
	32-bit color, RGB Encoded
	15 bit coordinate system
	Read/Write on each pixel
	a pixel is assumed to be visible
	a one-pixel line is assumed visible

Impact:
	X won't look well on HDTV (non-square pixels)
	Solid State (Flat Panel) Screens may have defects and single
		pixels should be small. (e.g. 200 DPI) 
		However - this exceeds the coordinate system of X
	Hardware accelerators will be hard to pipeline or parallelize
		(because pixels are read AND write instead of write only)

Plus the multi-threaded, object oriented light weight dynamically
extensible nature of NeWS, suitability over a WAN, device
independance, as well as the flexibility (Changing the cursor from a
bitmap to a procedure that dynamically changes colors, icons that can
contain any image, scaling and rotation, paths that can be text, fill
areas, holes, outlines, buttons, windows, cursors, etc.)

Heavy sigh...... Some people have a vision. Apparently Sun Marketing doesn't.
Just think what would have happened if the energy that was put into X
was put into NeWS.

If Sun sends out the message that NeWS has no future, then it will
become a self-fulfilling prophecy. :-(

I agree with Frank that the only hope is if Sun gives away the sources
of NeWS for a reasonable price. Maybe free to research institutes and
universities.

There is no entry for Defaults in the NeWS 3.0 Programmer's Guide (apart
from `Default class', not at all the same thing).
It's also not in the TNT 3.0 Referance Manual, the Desktop Integration Guide
or the OW3 Progammer's Guide!

Subparagraph b is correct; the license prohibits using xnews to
rasterize anything--with or without fonts--if the end result will be
hardcopy.  The fonts are the major sticking point, i.e. the area in
which (I am given to understand) a font vendor could sue directly or
force us to do so; but the prohibition is broader than that.  You may
not use xnews to rasterize for hardcopy, except via NeWSprint.

No one mentioned HyperLook or SimCity, they're good examples
of what can be done with NeWS. The great thing about the HyperLook
runtime is that you get a full featured PostScript Graphics Editor
thrown in "for nowght".

1. Where to FTP the HyperLook runtime from.
-------------------------------------------

The HyperLook look runtime system can be obtained via anonymous ftp
from the following sites (the turing.com site also provides product
and ordering information):

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z

2. Where to FTP SimCity from.
-----------------------------

Good news!  The HyperLook edition of SimCity for SPARC is now
available via anonymous ftp.

turing.com (192.133.90.28)      pub/SimCity.tar.Z

Check out how fast SimCity graphics are, they use shared
memory canvases, the lava lamp that Don Hopkins put up for
ftp on turing.com (CAM.tar.Z methinks) is a pretty good demo too.

What about using xnews to rasterize for a fax server? Is that
considered "hardcopy"?

Because there are PRODUCTS our there (I won't say which) which use it
exactly for that purpose, and which need to be converted to use
Ghostscript if the above applies to faxservers.

Thanks for clarifying ...

The first para says not to print raster files produced from PostScript
"IF THEY CONTAIN RASTERIZATIONS OF THE 57 FOLIO FONTS" but subpara (b)
claims to prohibit it entirely.  Which am I to believe?

We have a colour raster printer and wish to be able to print PostScript
files on it (mainly from FrameMaker).  We will not be printing anything
we cant already print on our PostScript printer but hopefully we will be
able to get it in colour.

Does ps2bits work for coloured PostScript files?

What were the fixes required for ps2bits to work? (Sorry, I missed that posting)

Thanks, John.

Well, I have OpenWindows 3.0, no interest in building and installing

happy to render my files without complaint.  However, ps2bit prints
out the following and quits:

So how do I get xnews (or psh) to rasterize my postscript files?  Or is my
application also a violation of my OpenWindows license?

If one's NeWS program expresses interest in mouse tracking events,
and then dies in the middle of them, mouse clicks stop working.

I'd like to thank William Spitzak (William.Spitzak@Eng.Sun.COM) for
pointing out to me that pressing the STOP key (L1) brings the mouse back
to life.  Just don't hold `a' down at the same time :-) :-)

Thanks,


Lee
