No, to the best of my knowledge. For several reasons: I don't think anyone
would want to, and I also don't think anyone's even bothered to see if it
compiled under Windows. *VERY* few GUI apps are being used under Windows
at the moment, mainly due to the fact that the apps look totally out of
place in a windows environment, and also due to the fact that the GDI
windows backend isn't the best thing in the world yet.
The worst is that GWorkspace contains some unixisms. I tried to build it
on Windows, but it failed on several unix-only functions (especially
fork(), if I remember well).
Anyway, if a GNUstep-based desktop comes up, it would be nice that it
runs over Windows too. Overiding the standard explorer is not much of a
problem for the user, since it would still allows him to launch win32 apps.
I often wished I could use GNUstep on Windows, almost like I am on my
linux box, except I can launch apps that my boss requests me to use.
PS: Sorry Alex, you've already received this one, I messed up again.
