John Gilmore probably has some interesting stories to
tell regarding NeWS;
his Grasshopper Group project ported it to A/UX on the Mac. Don Hopkins
and Hugh Daniel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Daniel) did the heavy
lifting, IIRC.
One of my favorite Don Hopkins quotes was something he said when we were
wandering the floor at XHibition '90. Something like "Wow! with the
power of X and Motif I can use a modern processor to get all of the
performance that I used to get on an Intel 8080."
