  Mac OS X: Game Developer's Playground
Since everyone on our team was running Windows 98 or NT, I used "OpenStep Enterprise", a version of the OpenStep application layer that ran atop those operating systems (in contrast to the Mach/BSD layer that supported OpenStep/Mach and that today provides the foundation for Mac OS X), as the basis for my work.
OpenStep's compiler provided an Objective-C++ mode, although support for certain more modern C++ features (such as templates) was lacking in that version.
In the OpenStep version of my app, all textures were drawn fully opaque, so one would have to drag a texture temporarily out of position to see which others might be hiding behind it.

  OpenStep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 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.

The OpenStep object model is the same within applications, between applications on the same computer, and between processes running across enterprise OpenStep's reliance on a distributed object model simplifies the client/server applications by enabling OpenStep objects to reside anywhere on network of clients or servers.
OpenStep's application framework allows developers to focus the majority of their energy on the unique, high value aspects of the application, leveraging the functionality already provided by OpenStep.
OpenStep's integration into Solaris addresses many of the key problems in and using application software today­reducing the cost of development and ownership, improving software quality, ensuring that all functionality is easy-to-use, interoperability, and providing a truly scalable, network-transparent enterprise computing.

Over the next four years, the NeXTSTEP operating system was ported to the Apple Macintosh PowerPC architecture, and the Intel version and the OpenStep Enterprise toolkit for Windows were kept in sync.
At the insistence of existing Mac developers, Apple included an updated version of the original Macintosh toolbox that allowed existing Mac applications integrated access to the environment without the constraints of Blue Box; this was named Carbon.

 OPENSTEP 4.2 Release Notes
In the 4.2 OPENSTEP Enterprise, OPENSTEP for Mach, and PDO releases, the compilers on Mach, Windows and PDO are based on the GNU C compiler version 2.7.2.1 and are all built from a single source code base.
We anticipate that this compatibility issue will be resolved in the final version of OPENSTEP 4.2 on Mach; at that time, it may be necessary for you to again recompile anything that now must be recompiled because of this fix.
The GDB debugger in OpenStep 4.0 for Mach (and later versions) is based on the version 4.14 release from GNU/FSF.

One of the primary reasons for buying one of these platforms was to use specialized software that ran only on the their OS/CPU combination (as opposed to today, where the most common use is as a server), and running NeXTSTEP meant giving that up.
Although OPENSTEP had an enthusiastic audience of developers using it for enterprise software and the like, it never attracted really large numbers of paying customers, and lack of revenue growth was a perennial problem.

OpenStep can mean one of two things depending on capitalisation; OpenStep refers to the APIs written by NeXT and SunMicrosystems which were the forerunners of YellowBox and ultimately Cocoa.
Anyone involved in CocoaDevelopment would immediately be familiar with OpenStep code, as its FoundationKit and AppKit are subsets of their modern counterparts.
On the other hand, OPENSTEP in all caps refers to the fourth version of the NeXTSTEP operating system, which was the first to implement the OpenStep environment.

The Pro and Enterprise versions share many similar features, although the Enterprise edition provides more scalability and a richer set of libraries.
The Enterprise edition is also required if you wish to integrate multiple database back-ends such as Sybase, Oracle, and Informix into your project or need to run multiple instances of your web application at the same time.
It is important to note that the adapter and application are not necessarily on the same machine, and with the Enterprise version, the application itself can be spread over multiple machines.
