http://www.gnustep.org/ GNUStep (implements the Openstep spec) http://www.gyve.org/dgs/ and http://www.gnustep.org/developers/DGS.html Display Ghostscript GNUStep (an application framework written mostly in Objective-C) is designed in a deliberately modular fashion so that it can be used equivalently with different back-end display engines. One such display engine -- one that would closely approximate what is possible with NeXTStep and its gaudy MacOS X progeny -- would be XFree86 with a Display Ghostscript extension library -- but the code for that extension is still alpha-level. In its absence, one can use plain XFree86 as a substitute back-end display engine for GNUStep. This is what you currently see when you run Window Maker (official window manager of the GNUStep Project). GNUMail.app is similarly NeXT-ish, is written in Objective-C, and relies on the GNUStep libraries. See: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/applications-muas.html You may also find Chris Browne's page about libs/toolkits for X11 useful: http://cbbrowne.com/info/xlibs.html Perhaps it's obvious, but I always admired NeXTStep. Pity what Apple Computer's done to it, though. -- Cheers, "My file system's got no nodes!" Rick Moen "How does it shell?" [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
