The NeWS Book leads the technical reader through the discovery of a
revolutionary window system: the Network extensible Window System,
developed by Sun Microsystems. Independent of computer hardware and
systems software, NeWS has been ported to a number of platforms and
licensed to many computer vendors and software developers. NeWS
will be part of the standard UNIX distribution from AT&T in the
future as it is combined with the well-known X Window System from
MIT in the X11/NeWS product. The specifications are in the public
domain. Based on the popular PostScript page description language,
NeWS provides a uniquely extensible interpretive programming
environment for application developers in a networked graphics and
window system environment. Networking is integral to NeWS;
NeWS-based programs may span a heterogeneous set of distributed
sites. NeWS is the first system to extend the PostScript language's
already wide acceptance in printing applications into the realm of
graphics and window-based applications. The NeWS Book is intended
for a technical audience who may or may not have experience with
window system design and programming.It gives practical examples of
how to write PostScript programs, that implement interactive user
interface techniques, while also exploring how the advanced imaging
of the PostScript language model applies to the display as well as
the printer. UNIX, NeWS, and graphics programmers, developers of
graphical applications, computer science students, PostScript
language devotees in desktop publishing, and sophisticated
end-users who want to understand leading-edge solutions in window
system design all will benefit from The NeWS Book.
