- I can't speak for the example in the FAQ but there is a sleazy test suite
- available for the current GNU run time -- yes, the run time does exist, it
- is available, and it does work, but it is in its infancy.
-
- Cruising through my file store... Yes, there is a objc/Object.h.
- However, I'm using gcc 2.3.2 and I had to install the include files and
- libraries by hand.
-
- I've just looked at the example in the FAQ. Where do these objects come
- from?
- #import "Queue.h"
- #import "Stack.h"
