What is nib2gmodel? =================== This is version 0.6.6 of the GNUstep nib2gmodel tool GNUstep is a set of general-purpose Objective-C libraries based on the OpenStep standard developed by NeXT (now Apple) Inc. The libraries consist of everything from foundation classes, such as dictionaries and arrays, to GUI interface classes such as windows, sliders, buttons, etc. nib2gmodel is a tool developed for GNUstep which converts Apple/NeXT OpenStep 4.x and MacOSX nib files (and perhaps other nib files) to the GNUstep version of a nib file called a gmodel file. Note that nib2gmodel does a pretty good, but not a perfect job of translating nib files. Since the nib format is not documented, translation must be done in a round-about way. Coupled with the fact that different OpenStep systems store GUI elements in different ways leads to non-optimal translation. It is likely that you'll have to hand-edit the gmodel file after translation (Until our interface manager, Gorm gets up to speed). The file `INSTALL' gives instructions for installing the package. The GNUstep web site at <http://www.gnustep.org> contains more information.
