tool called nib2gmodel that can be compiled under OPENSTEP to convert
nib files to GNUstep gmodel files.
Newer nib files use XML format keyed archiving and may possibly be
transportable, although differences in class and ivar layout may still
make this difficult.
The current version of gui supports reading nib files created as of 10.2.
If you have nib files which are older than this, you can convert them by
loading them into Interface Builder, going to the "file" second and saving
the nib using the "10.2 or later format."

@subsection Can one use the hybrid "Objective-C++"
No. at present the GNU compiler (gcc) does not support
"Objective-C++". Soon to br released gcc 4.1 will have this support, but
it is still unclear how robust it will be.
Yes gcc 4.1 has support for this.

@subsection What if I compile GNUstep under OPENSTEP/MacOS X?
GNUstep uses the X-windows display postscript extension.
The interface to that is not the same as the interface to the
OPENSTEP/MacOS-X windows server. While someone could write a
backend library to provide the interface, nobody has bothered to
date.
GNUstep uses different backends to provide the same functionality as
Display Postscript. While someone could write a backend library to
provide the interface, nobody has bothered to date.
You can, however, use a GNUstep program with an X11 server
running on MacOSX.
