And often he's misquoted with a similar one: "the old world is dying, and the new one is late to come. And in these shadows (chiaroscuri) the monsters are born" . Anyway, it always surprises me how Gramsci seems to be more k

Fun fact: originally "/home/NeWS" displayed "forbidden" access and I stumbled upon it by pure luck, finding the missing "operators.h" (and I told Don, since I wanted to see if there was something else

He also got Parallax p/NeWS in his collection, which is super rare. I also wrote a person who has a SunDew QIC cassette, and another that has various NeWS sources (including the portable REF tree of the 1.1 version). Unfortunately they

Over time much NeWS related stuff resurfaced, wheter are application binaries, sources (both application and the server itself) or documentation, so anyone could play with them on a real machine (Sun-3 or SPARC) or inside QEMU SPARC. I&#x27

The man behind this site is known for his skills of recoverying data from QIC tapes. Looking at the "Software Library" section makes me always wonder if it will be released at some point, since that there is some stuff that isn&#x

I'd like to see some code to understand what it takes to write a functioning Wayland application, a bit like David Rosenthal did in his paper "A Simple X11 Client Program -or- How hard can it really be to write ‘Hello, World’?&quo

So far this is one of the most interesting approaches to Wayland compositor implementation. I always felt that the "monolithic design" (compositor + window manager) is a step backwards, and that many compositors neglected features

https://bsky.app/profile/dvrc.bsky.social/post/3lchv6gf5u22e These are some screenshots of NeWS 1.1 running on SunOS 4.1.4 on QEMU that I took time ago. Unfortunately QEMU SPARC decided to break again. Also,

> Does it build today In this form it won't, since that is missing the Sun PixRect library. And you also need the "operators.h" file (which is in another directory...) and the "acceptconnect" function. On comp.w

Do any version of UniPress Emacs (that support the NeWS driver) or NeMacs survive?

Weeks ago, while I was searching for NeWS related papers/material, I stumbled upon some japanese papers about a window system called GMW (Give More Windows). It is pretty much obscure, and all I found is that was made at Kyoto Universi

NeWS wasn't based on DPS. It's a full display server based on the PostScript Red Book with some extensions (canvases, lightweight processes and sync primitives, events, classes, garbage collection). This allows to write applicatio

Yes, it comes in bundle with SunOS, since that one part of it it's implemented in the kernel IIRC. I've also been able to run NeWS 1.1 (which was before the X/NeWS merg) inside QEMU, although the keyboard input is not working
