My "well-informed sources" have informed me that Sun-NEWS *is* to be
supported on the Amiga (will post more info as soon as I can).

For those who aren't familiar with it, Sun-NEWS is Sun's new system
for standardized, networkable remote windowing; uses Postscript; very
nice overall.  With Sun-NEWS on the Amiga, you could network an Amiga
to a Sun workstation, then be able to remotely login to the Sun from
your Amiga, and have SunWindows properly displayed on the Amiga.
