Old NeXT code

I have been attempting to compile in Xcode a 1992 vintage NeXT project found here:

<http://www.gtoal.com/wordgames/hsr_crossword/>

To my surprise, the sizeable project appears to almost make it with only a few errors, but they have been maddening to try to debug. I went ahead and changed

#import <appkit/cell.h>
#import <appkit/color.h>

to

#import <appkit/NSCell.h>
#import <appkit/NSColor.h>

I notice that Xcode appears to contain some translation code for converting NXColor into NSColor, but it chokes on this:

typedef struct {
		NXColor		background;
		NXColor		text;
	} squareColor;

There is also a file:

CrosswordSquarePS.psw

that appears to translate Postscript code into something usable by Cocoa, but I can't figure out how to handle it, or if it is even possible to use it in Xcode.

As a Cocoa newbie, my question to the experts here is: Can Xcode handle this old NeXT stuff, or am barking up the wrong tree? I'm actually very interested in seeing the compiled version of this project.

Ken
