Glad to hear about the new version release! Are there any plans to
release a NeXTstep port of version 3.47 and does anybody know if the
binary will also run in Rhapsody. I was reading a little about Rhapsody
over the holidays and it looks like it will be a nice OS for both PPC and
Pentium PC platforms. Maybe someone out there with a PPC and Rhapsody
could port the 603E binary too (if the Mac pre-release is even
available). I noticed that pub/dream has a NeXTstep binary of v3.46 but
is that for the original cube or the later PC version of NeXTstep?
Since Rhapsody runs native Mac binaries in addition to NeXTstep, that may
be another alternative too....
Perhaps some of you that know more about this should speak up. Anyone?
