The directory "nextstep" and its subdirectories "Cocoa" -and "GNUstep" contain files relevant to building and running on these -systems. - -Those primarily responsible for the port (in chronological order) were: - -Michael Brouwer -Carl Edman -Christian Limpach -Scott Bender -Christophe de Dinechin -Adrian Robert - -See AUTHORS file and "Release History" below for more information. - -GNU Emacs is due to Richard Stallman and company. - -The GNUstep port was made possible through the assistance of Adam Fedor, Fred -Kiefer, M. Uli Klusterer, Alexander Malmberg, Jonas Matton, and Riccardo -Mottola. - -Peter Dyballa assisted in a variety of ways to improve text rendering and -keyboard handling. Adam Ratcliffe documented the Preferences panel. David -M. Cooke contributed fixes to XPM handling. Carsten Bormann helped get dired -working for non-ASCII filenames. - - -Requirements ------------- -MacOS X 10.3 or later -- or - -GNUstep "Startup 0.13" or later -Tested on linux, should work on other systems, perhaps with minor build -tweaking. - - -Compilation ------------ - -See INSTALL. - - -Usage ------ - -Please use the first entry under the help menu within Emacs.app, do -"M-x info-ns-emacs". - - -Background ----------- - -Internally to emacs, the port and its code are referred to using the term -"NeXTstep", despite the fact that no system or API has been released under -this name in more than 10 years. Here's some background on why.. - -NeXT, Inc. introduced the NeXTstep API with its computer and operating system -in the late 1980's. Later on in collaboration with Sun, this API was -published as a specification called OpenStep. The GNUstep project started in -the early 1990's to provide a free implementation of this API. Later on, -Apple bought NeXT (some would say "NeXT bought Apple") and made OpenStep the -basis of OS X, calling the API "Cocoa". Since then, Cocoa has evolved beyond -the OpenStep specification, and GNUstep has followed it. - -Thus, calling this port "OpenStep" is not technically accurate, and in the -absence of any other determinant, we are using the term "NeXTstep", both -because it signifies the original inspiration that created these APIs, and -because all of the classes and functions still begin with the letters "NS". - -(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextstep) - -This Emacs port was first released in the early 1990's on the NeXT computer, -and was successively updated to OpenStep, Rhapsody, OS X, and then finally -GNUstep, tracking GNU emacs core releases in the meantime. - - - -Release History ---------------- - -1990-1992 1.0-3.0 (?)
