	OpenStep
		OpenStep is an open object-oriented API specification, the result of a 1993 collaboration between NeXT Computer, and Sun Microsystems.
		The standardization on OpenStep also allowed for the creation of several new library packages that were delivered on the platform, including PDO (Portable Distributed Objects) which allowed for CORBA-like remote object invocation with almost zero code, and EOF (Enterprise Objects Framework), a tremendously powerful (for the time) object-relational mapping product.
		OPENSTEP and OSE had two revisions (and one major one that was never released) before NeXT was purchased by Apple in 1997.

		OpenStep is an open object-oriented API specification for an object-oriented operating system that uses any modern operating system as its core, principally developed by NeXT.
		OPENSTEP was then combined with technologies from the existing Mac OS to produce Mac OS X.
		OPENSTEP became NeXT's primary OS from 1995 on, and was used mainly on the Intel platform.

	CocoaDev: OpenStep
		OpenStep is the set of libraries that eventually became the YellowBox in AppleRhapsody, and finally, Cocoa.
		OpenStep stands for an API specifications which was based on an evolution of the existing NEXTSTEP APIs.
		OPENSTEP is a dual personality which still provides the NeXTSTEP compatibility libraries to run applications which are based on the old APIs.

	OPENSTEP on Windows PC Emulators
		OPENSTEP is not supported by these products, so the following experience does not reflect on their capabilities.
		The disappointing news is that emulated OpenStep runs very slowly: it feels like it is running on a 200 MHz Pentium, when in fact I am using a 2 GHz Pentium.
		I had to use the OpenStep DEC DE500 driver, otherwise the Ethernet address is not read properly.

	OpenStep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		OpenStep was designed to be implemented independently of the computer's operating system, hardware, and user interface.
		When the OpenStep API is implemented for a specific platform and made into a product, it is written in uppercase, e.g.
		OPENSTEP Developer 4.2 for Mach, or OPENSTEP Enterprise for Windows NT and Windows 95.

		I heard today that one of our PlanetSun loyal viewers would like to see some articles on OpenStep, so I'll start the ball rolling as I was involved in that project between 1994-1996.
		OpenStep was part of something called Neo - Network Extensible Objects, the follow-on from DOE Distributed Objects Everywhere (pronounced Doh!).
		NeXTStep, on which OpenStep is based, is written in Objective C. We didn't have Objective C support in the Sun compilers at that time, so there was a small sub-group working on that.

		OpenStep applications execute in a "yellow box" as processes with full access to preemptive tasking, multithreading, and memory protection (see the figure).
		OpenStep is also well known for its application framework, which allows custom business-critical applications to be designed rapidly, a valuable feature for enterprise computing.
		Modifying OpenStep to inherit the Mac's look and feel shouldn't be difficult since the UI objects are decoupled from the rest of the class librari es.

	OPENSTEP 4.2
		OPENSTEP is the descendant of NeXTStep, although technically "OPENSTEP" refers to a set of portable APIs based on those of NeXTStep that NeXT made available on Mach (The Unix-ish core that NeXTStep ran on), Windows NT, and Solaris.
		After logging in OPENSTEP starts the desktop and launches the Workspace Manager, a kind of file manager.
		An interesting thing about the NeXTStep / OPENSTEP user interface is that the scroll bars are on the left.

	OCS: NeXTStep, OpenStep...
		The latter is made by Sun (which has also participated on the development of the OpenStep standard), while the former two were made by NeXT and currently are owned and developed by Apple.
		Besides, there is the GNUStep project--a free implementation of OpenStep for any nevironment (including the free Linux), and sometimes there are rumors DEC considers its own OpenStep/DECunix implementation.
		The PDO is much cheaper than the whole OpenStep, and is available for much more host environments; for the up to date information have a look at the NeXT page.

	Diary of an OPENSTEP for Mach user.
		OPENSTEP 4.1 for Mach is dropped into my grubby little hands.
		It does use NEXTSTEP instead of OPENSTEP, but the two are similar enough that this isn't a problem.
		As good as OPENSTEP was, getting back to full control of the hardware, as Apple allows as a systems company, has made things even better.

	OpenStep 4.2 Driver Thread - Parallels Support Forum
		After installation is complete, I generally need to boot in verbose mode (-v at the boot prompt) or OpenStep fails to boot.
		I used to have a guide for setting up OpenStep for a Cable Modem but my website seems to be down (www.peak.org/~luomat) at the moment.
		I installed the NE2000 driver and configured but when Openstep boots I get a million error messages, like ftp unknown service, and a lot more that say unknown service, all says loginwindow could not find windowserver.

	Rixstep
		OPENSTEP was ported to Sun Microsystems' SunOS; to Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX Unix; even to Microsoft's 'NT'.
		It could be ported because OPENSTEP did not rely on the FreeBSD underbody and because the three operating systems mentioned were all up to par for the task.
		This is not OPENSTEP code, and it's not anything else either: it's officially called 'toll-free bridging' and it's begging for trouble.

	Real Options IT Strategy - A Case Study
		OpenStep embraces an open architecture that allows applications to run on a variety of platforms including Windows NT.
		During the next 12 to 18 month, the firm repeatedly states that they will port their code to the OpenStep platform, but the firm never does convert to the OpenStep API and continues to use the NextStep platform.
		The initial OpenStep investment may continue to benefit Apple in a variety of ways that cannot be measured by traditional investment techniques.

	GNUstep: GNU & OpenStep
		This agreement evolved into the OpenStep specification which was published by NeXT in a first draft back in summer 1994.
		After the OpenStep initiative became public, The next logical step was to make a new "objcX" which would adhere to the new APIs.
		While implementing a free software version of the OpenStep specification is a great idea; GNUstep is growing beyond this initial task to become a powerful development environment and a sophisticated user environment.

	From NEXTSTEP to OPENSTEP
		In 1994, NeXT published the OpenStep specification--an API (Application Programmer's Interface) for an object layer, based on NEXTSTEP frameworks, that could be implemented independent of underlying hardware, the operating system, and the user interface.
		OPENSTEP applications have the look and feel of their native user environment.
		The OpenStep API includes frameworks of prebuilt objects, and a dynamic object runtime that makes applications easy to scale and customize.

		Again identical to the OpenStep logon, it is in fl and white (640x480x16) mode.
		The reaction of the developer community to this "starting from a blank slate" approach was dismal, which forced Apple to abandon the "Rhapsody" approach and develop the Carbon API, which is like the Classic MacOS API without the crud.

	A Brief History of Mac OS X
		A bit earlier, in 1994, NeXT and Sun had jointly released specifications for OpenStep, an open platform (comprised of several APIs and frameworks) that anybody could use to create their own implementation of *STEP.
		Three versions of OPENSTEP were ever released: 4.0 (July 22, 1996), 4.1 (December, 1996), and 4.2 (January, 1997).
		Jobs pitched NeXT technology very strongly to Apple, and asserted that OPENSTEP was many years ahead of its time.

		OpenStep implementations sit on top of various operating systems, providing a standard API and set of facilities for custom and third-party applications.
		Any program written to the OpenStep API is supposed to be source-code compatible with any OpenStep implementation.
		The OpenStep standard includes three major components: the Foundation Kit, which provides fundamental object classes; the Application Kit, which provides application and user-interface object classes; and Display PostScript, which provides a uniform, device-inde pendent imaging system.
