NeWS – Network Extensible Window System
NeWS was lovely --- the application got to download custom logic via Postscript onto the display server and run it there, so you could run interactive applications quite comfortably on high-latency links. Proper MVC separation!<p>Also, it had PizzaTool. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donhopkins.com&#x2F;home&#x2F;catalog&#x2F;images&#x2F;pizzatool.gif" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donhopkins.com&#x2F;home&#x2F;catalog&#x2F;images&#x2F;pizzatool.gif</a><p>Source code: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donhopkins.com&#x2F;home&#x2F;code&#x2F;pizzatool.ps.txt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donhopkins.com&#x2F;home&#x2F;code&#x2F;pizzatool.ps.txt</a><p>I&#x27;ve always rather wondered why no open source NeWS clone never came along.
