I think you're right. It was that experience (among other things)
that pointed to the need for a new root class.
I think NSObject was introduced with EOF, which IIRC included
Foundation so
that EOF could use NSDictionaries and other goodies. That was in the 3.2
days. I think 3.3 may have included Foundation shlibs, but at first it
was an add-on which you needed to write or run EOF apps.
