Andrew,

  Pixar (of Toy Story fame) is working with Sun.

  However, I do agree with you.  So far, Newtek has proved that it could
  not cope with 3 platforms, as the complaints from some Alpha/MIPS users
  without their final 4.0; the Amiga users with an extremely buggy 4.0;
  and the SGI users with no support; seem to confirm.
  Will they now be able to support 6 different platforms?
  Dave, do you or anybody else at NewTek has comments on this?
