Did I already send this? I found a copy in my out box marked as unsent...

My apologies if anyone gets this twice...

	Neither am I, but something I've learned in the last day or 
two is that cocoa pretty much ='s NeXT.  All of those things you saw 
like NXPoint and NXRect have cocoa equivalents, conveniently named 
NSPoint and NSRect, etc.  Some cases aren't quite so obvious, (eg - 
Object -> NSObject and Dict ->NSDictionary) but are equally nice to 
deal with.

	Project builder can import the old NeXTStep Project Builder file.

	The 2 Next specific libs are automatically replaced with the 
foundations framework and just need to be removed from the project.

	or so I thought.  I'm running into some problems which are 
beyond my understanding of Objective-C (which I admit is very 
limited).  Are there any Obj-C folks in the house?

>If you need icons I can make some solid ones.

	heh... Not an issue right off. =)
