I can backup that story on the 1.o release vs. 2.0 release that I saw
in a posting on this group. I have heard the same story from an IBM
official at the CeBIT '91 in Hannover, Germany. He was one of the people
who had been involved with NextStep on IBM and he was very enthousiastic
about it, but he also said that the release of 2.0 had stopped IBM for
the moment to consider even working on a release 2.0. Now I have seen a
posting on the net describing the demo of 2.o on the RS/6000, so what is
going on here?

I also think that if NextStep will be used by NeXT owners only, the rest
of the workstation users are badly mistreated.
