OpenStep programming interface} (API) derived from {NEXTSTEP} and proposed as an {open standard} by {NeXT} in 1994. OpenStep is the specification of the object kits of NEXTSTEP. OPENSTEP/Mach was an implementation of this specification. The original, OPENSTEP version 4.0, and really was NEXTSTEP 4. {Rhapsody} was the codename for {Apple}'s {Mac OS X} Server, which is really NEXTSTEP 5 (it calls itself "kernel 5.3" at boot time). OpenStep was designed to be implemented independently of the computer's operating system, hardware, and user interface. The {API} for {Rhapsody} will be a superset of {OpenStep}'s. When the OpenStep {API} is implemented for a specific platform and made into a product, it is written in uppercase, e.g. OPENSTEP Developer 4.2 for Mach, or OPENSTEP Enterprise for {Windows NT} and {Windows 95}. Versions of OPENSTEP exist for Windows 95/NT, Solaris, HP/UX, and Mach. (1999-11-25) | |
