I've also ported my applications to the RS/6000. The port is certainly no worst then porting anything else from NeXT's BSD UNIX environment to IBM's AIX. This means that NextStep application kit is there, Objective-C is there, Display PostScript is there, and sufficient Mach emulation is there. I've even demonstrated my NextStep applications at IBM user group meetings and at IBM scientific center. From what we read in the news group, it seems NextStep 2.0 has been ported (I've not seen it myself). Thus, its distribution seems to be hung between the NeXT and IBM lawyers. What a shame.
