| | NEXTSTEP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | NEXTSTEP is the original object-oriented, multitasking operating system that NeXT Computer, Inc. developed to run on its proprietary NeXT computers (informally known as "black boxes"). | | | Distinctive features of the Objective-C language made the writing of applications with NeXTSTEP far easier than on many competing systems, and the system was often pointed to as a paragon of computer development, even a decade later. | | | On February 4, 1997 Apple Computer acquired NeXT, using the OpenStep operating system as the basis for Mac OS X. |

| | Intro to NEXTSTEP |
| | NEXTSTEP is the operating system of the long-dead NeXT computer. | | | NEXTSTEP is based on an operating system called Mach (to which NeXT has added a UNIX interface, so you can the UNIX command line if you like), but unlike your average UNIX system, NEXTSTEP is not hard to use. | | | NEXTSTEP scrollbars haven't changed in 10 years, and there is still no reason for them to do so, since they were "just done right" the first time. |

| | NeXT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | NeXTSTEP's processor-independent capabilities were kept intact within Mac OS X. Every version was secretly compiled onto both the PowerPC and Intel x86 architectures, even though only PowerPC versions were released. | | | Many of the interface features from NeXTSTEP were carried over into Mac OS X, including the Dock, the Services menu, the Finder's 'browser' view, the extremely sophisticated text system (NSText) and system-wide selectors for fonts and colors. | | | By late 1993 the Intel port was complete, and was released in the form of NeXTSTEP 3.1 (also referred to as NEXTSTEP 486). |

| | Eventually NeXTSTEP was ported to x86, HP PA-Risc, and SPARC computers. | | | Because these computers — although very advanced technologically — were expensive, NeXT decided to port NeXTSTEP to other computer platforms in 1993. | | | However, because HP and SPARC computers already had advanced UNIX variants, and Windows 3.1 was already so entrenched on the x86 platform, NeXTSTEP didn't sell well. |

| | From NEXTSTEP to OPENSTEP |
| | NEXTSTEP initially ran on a version of the UNIX operating system called Mach. | | | In 1994, NeXT published the OpenStep specification--an API (Application Programmer's Interface) for an object layer, based on NEXTSTEP frameworks, that could be implemented independent of underlying hardware, the operating system, and the user interface. | | | But what many customers prized even more was the development environment. |

| | Besides the user version of NextStep itself ($795), Next also sells the NextStep development tools ($2995); its PDO (Portable Distributed Objects) toolkit ($4995 to $9995) for developing NextStep-compatible server applications on plain-vanilla Unix systems; and a wide assortment of training and consulting services for object-oriented development. | | | At the core of NextStep is a version of the Mach microkernel, which handles memory management, process management, and interprocess communications. | | | However, the API and architectural changes in OpenStep--including a new set of foun dation classes and methods for creating and freeing objects--will require that current NextStep 3.x developers do significant rewriting of their applications to recompile them under 4.0. |
