Nope. You've gotten it backwards. There *used* to be a Cocoa for
Windows, it was called 'Yellow Box for Windows' and morphed into WO 4.0
(and 4.5/4.5.1).
It was killed a few years ago (1998/99, I think). It still sort of
survives as WO 4.5.1, but you aren't allowed to distribute any Cocoa
apps on Windows with it (the license prohibits it).
At the time, people were quite unhappy about it...
People still are... I'm about to loose my job over it. (and
EOF/Obj-C..)
