Does this mean that non-Cocoa-Obj-C can be used on other platforms?
Cocoa consists of two parts: Foundation and AppKit.
Foundation is almost completely portable. AppKit less so.
Ive allways thought that this was impossible since some other
platforms doesnt support Obj-C (mainly windows, i think all UNIX based
OS4s have the Obj-C runtime framework, but not sure)!
Objective-C is available on most gcc platforms, as part of gcc. There
are also non-gcc Objective-C compilers and runtimes (Stepstone, POC) and
probably a couple more that aren't widely known (it's easy enough not be
an obstacle).
