By 'sprite' I mean a provision for a graphical object which you can easily
animate simply by changing two location in their object's 'position' register.

I'd be happy to see this for X, but I don't know of anyone (except maybe 
Ardent?) who uses their extension mechanism, and I don't want to have to worry
about shoving the extension code into the servers for each machine I run 
across.
  
I'm a NeWS and Postscript neophyte.

BTW, has anyone looked at porting NeWS to the TI 34020/FP chip combination?
It seems like it should be a real screamer.

Thanks.
