These statements are too simplistic; OPENSTEP did make extensions to OpenStep, but also added things to (and removed things, like NSHelpPanel from) OpenStep. The AppKit and Foundation release notes for 4.2, as well as the 4.2 docs, tell which is which. The proprietary things that NeXT added, like NSFileManager etc. could be considered "Mac OS X" stuff. But not the things that are part of the OpenStep specifications as amended by OPENSTEP 4.x.
