If only there were a way to look up and read about these sorts of things. :) OpenStep hasn't really been in the news so to speak more than 10 years. In fact it was old news even 10 years ago. Though in a way that's a bit odd as I'd have thought that after OS X became popular, OpenStep (well an open source implementation like GnuStep at least) would get more love by the hacker community in general to make porting apps to and from OS X easier, but alas few people seem interested in using ObjC and Cocoa-style APIs outside of Mac. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
