		Has NeWS been ported to the Apollo workstation?  If so, from whom 
		may I get it?

Unless you have a NeWS university source license you are out of luck.
(Something to do with that thick pile of paper that accompanies the source
tape.)

If you do have one, send some mail to 
    Bertram Hertzog
    bert@citi.umich.edu

Bert is the director of UofM CITI.

The port is 1.0 NeWS.  It ran on every Apollo I could get my hands on, but
only in monochrome.  A dumb framebuffer port is trivial, anyone familiar 
with GPR should be able to do the same thing in under a week.  I've got
some ideas on how to do a good color port, if anyone cares.
