Re: Re[2]: Objective-C 2.0 and other new features in Leopard

Manuel,

Gee, your responses are one hell of a cop-out.

What about for those of us who don't have an 8 year old copy of
WebObjects 4.5 to start off with? tough shit?

again, tools for your own little world, and I'm of the opinion that
the code should just be removed from the GNUstep tree because of its
sheer uselessness to everyone except a few who have tools that ARE NOT
FREE SOFTWARE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
