Hi SCott

Solaris 2.3 Which shipped as of 11th November comes with openwindows 3.3
which consists of X11R5 (with dynamic X kernel, i.e loadable extensions)
and Adobe Level II Display postscript server extension, and DPS client libraries.

This xnews (NeWS) has officially gone away completely as of this month.

Maybe you should get on to your local Sun sales office for a copy of it.

Thanks

Tim

P.S. Can't wait for DPS support in MetaCard for Solaris ;-)

P.P.S. Do you have any plans for support for CDE (Common Desktop Environment)
core interapplication commmunication methods namely CDE Drag and Drop and
CDE Tooltalk.

P.P.P.S Thanks for making such a great product available
