[Biococoa-dev] GNUStep Compatibility (was: [Biococoa-dev] Optimizations)

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Hi Jim,

Nice to hear from you again, seems you're well on you way for your 
graduation!
For me, GNUstep compatibility is not high on my list, but perhaps the 
others think it's of more importance. I could imagine that at least 
marketing wise it seems nice that you can say you potentially address a 
far larger public. Although, I doubt if that extends practically at 
all. But I would like to hear especially Peter's comments on the issue 
as he's the one advertising GNUstep compatibility right now ;-)
Cheers and good luck with the graduation!
Alex

    The requirements said: Windows 2000 or better.
    So I got a Macintosh.

       Microsoft is not the answer,
       Microsoft is the question,
       NO is the answer
