Neither the Amiga or NeXT is a >standard. You don't understand, do you?! I didn't bring up hardware standards and they are not what concerns me. My concern is with language and code portability. Porting between systems doesn't bother me as long as _good_ compilers can be found for each system. In the case of Obj. C, there aren't enough compilers on enough platforms to cause the competition to create fast enough, good enough compilers.
