I can say, with great confidence, that you have a long road to travel. forget about the bible and buy the NeXT tech docs. study Mach, Objective-C, and NeXTstep in GREAT detail--they are intimately linked. then, become a developer and buy a NeXT. to complete you lesson write an ambitious project (look for something the world could use and donate it to a university's ftp site). now you're ready to do a NeXT--->PC thing but may no loner want to. in fact you'll probably dump the PC. |> Question? Does NeXT support C++ use with the IB and the Application Kit? NeXT supports c++ but NeXTstep is Objective-C dependent. -- ..!uunet!kgw2!dennisg | Dennis P. Glatting dennisg@Xetron.COM | so?
