OpenStep and POSIX (Was: Re: GNUstep on MS Windows (Oh boy...i've done it now!))

Hi,

Pascal provoked a question I would like to give. Maybe it is just different 
point of view on things...

Can be OpenStep thought as something like next generation POSIX (Portable 
Operating System Interface)? With the layer such as POSIX or OpenStep you get 
everything you need to develop applications. Each of them for applications 
appropriate for corresponding time (technology age).

Well, maybe the words 'next generation' are not quite appropriate. Evethough, 
what do you say?
