- Introduction
- ============
-
- The NSXKit is a library of Objective-C classes of objects which
- provide a framework for implementing a graphical, event-driven
- application under the X windowing system. The kit implements
- a subset of the OpenStep specification, as released by NeXT Inc.
-
- Goals:
-
- 1) Provide a significant subset of the OpenStep specification, so
- that applications built to run on NEXTSTEP 4.x will be easily
- portable to X-Windows.
-
- 2) Make the kit generic so that it can be used on other platforms,
- namely Windows95 and WindowsNT. The XLib specific stuff will be
- isolated in the drawing engine, a Display PostScript engine.
-
- 3) Leverage existing GNUStep code, specifically the libobjects library
- (Foundation Kit), and Objc-X classes.
