NeWS/2
Posted by Rakko Rakkoon on July 8th, 2003


Hello, OS/2 fans. I hope you can help me out. I'm looking for some
software by the name of NeWS/2. It is the OS/2 port of NeWS, a
PostScript-based window system made by Sun. The OS/2 version was done by a
company called Architect Corporation. Does anyone out there have it or now
how to get it?

Many thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks for the correction.
