     @n1vux Very cool. I have a copy of OPENSTEP Enterprise which runs on NT. I actually run it in an Windows emulator on my Pismo.

     @mattl back when there was a Wang Labs, we were licensed by Stepstone to port Objective C to WinNT/PM, with eventual goal of a visual programming environment. Alas a recession killed the project, and contributed to corporate demise. 33MHz sounds about right.

     @n1vux it’s basically a full port of OPENSTEP to Windows. Complete with the windowing system and it’s own pasteboard implementation.

     @mattl huh. I wonder if they evolved that from our work or if they redeveloped it eventually from a latter branch point .

     @mattl I'm sorry, i misremembered while typing ... we ported to OS/2 PM, which was a precursor to WinNT, in 1988-89.

     Whether StepStone and thence OpenStep used our patches shared with them in the WinNT port i haven't a clue (without looking for Wang Labs comment lines i guess).

     @mattl @n1vux YellowBox actually even runs on Windows 95, not just NT. It is still my plan to eventually get it running in that Electron Windows 95 emulation. Didn't complete last time I tried, should give it another run.

     @helge I'm less concerned. There's already quite bit of old NeXT stuff on archive.org
