AppKit, Foundation, and many other frameworks worked on Windows before
they
worked on Mac. They are all derived from Openstep which was
cross-platform.
(Solaris, Mach, HPUX, Windows NT, on SPARC, Intel, 68000, and PA-RISC.
Versions for Alpha and 88000 were described, but I never saw them.
NeXTstep
worked on 68000, Intel, and RS6000 (PPC-604 ?).
Apple reneged on continuing cross platform support promises.
... Ok i knew about this for a pretty long time (since i digged into
OSX4s roots...). But what i don4t understand is:
Apple killed the cross-platform options of Cocoa (YellowBox, OpenStep
etc.) but the fingerprints of the cross-platform code is still there in
all of those Win32 definitions (just try searching for "Win32" in PBX)...
But then why does4nt (did4net) Apple remove the the win32 definitions
from Cocoa? I mean why having it ly around taking dust if it isnt going
to be used?
Or is it saved for later use?
Why have4nt Apple taking the time to press on the backspace nuutoon a
couple of times to erase the windows sepecified code?
And why is the windows specific code the only platform code remainning
in Cocoa? I mean,: OpenStep (And the other names... (ugh!)) worked on a
ton of platforms, and therefor, like the windows definitions, every
platform must have had its own definition... But the only one we have
left is the windows definition!???!??!!!??!!?!?!
WHY (look above)?
Any kind of answer is accepted!
Thankx
