Hi Riccardo, I am not the creator of this, I am just the messenger. mulle-objc was created by the folks of Mulle-kybernetiK ( https://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/ ) especially Nat! ( [email protected] ) if I am not mistaken. regards, Lars _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
