I'm a postscript junkie as well, and believe that News will have a lot of milage to it when X has run out of gas. I cornered on of the heads of Apollo SW R&D at a national user group meeting: ME: Are you guys gonna support NEWS. THEY: No way. Its proprietary. ME: (Blather advantages of News vs. X) THEY: Well, we may have some sort of kernel that supports both. Funny, thats what Sun is doing. I thought News licenses wer only $100 for the tape. Thats not an unreasonable figure to get a complete postscript implementation for a screen. Is Sun willing to let AmigaNews be distributed under any conditions ?
