there are any) to GNUstep model files using the nib2gmodel program
(from <ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/dev-apps>).
How about porting between Cocoa and GNUstep?
--------------------------------------------
It's easier from GNUstep to Cocoa than Cocoa to GNUstep. Cocoa is
constantly changing, much faster than GNUstep could hope to keep up.

classes. Normal work can already be done using the library since the
missing 1 percent are the least-often-used features or are simply not
up to date with the latest Carbon spec.
