- My understanding is that Cygnus (Your GNU Support) is working on
- it. But this is a pretty old impression and I've seen nothing actually
- come of it. (For all I know it'll be announced tomorrow, though.)
-
- I'm waiting for GNU-ObjC to appear so I can duplicate the NeXTstep
- programming environment for X. With, of course, a few changes
- in the hierarchy. (BTW, if anyone else is also thinking of this,
- I'd be interested in exchanging ideas with you via email... there
- are a few things in NS that I really think could be improved in
- a ground-up rewrite.)
