Re: Swarm and GNUstep

[Paul E Johnson]

Its funny you bring this up now because we have been discussing it for 
the past week or so in the swarm-hackers list on the Savannah system 
(see the swarm web page for info). Scott Christley, one of the GNUstep 
originators, seems to think we would have no trouble using GNUstep 
classes and such, especially for GUI work.

I am just learning the meaning of the term "runtime" and I'm trying to 
figure why Swarm has its own libobjc.  I've compared the header files of 
Swarm's libobjc files and the gcc-3.0.4 and the differences are minor.

I'm not able to access the swarm-hackers archive, possibly because I 
don't know Savannah's system well enough.
