[W/K] :: NEXTSTEP

  NEXTSTEP
       
           The original multitasking operating
          system that NeXT, Inc. developed to run on its proprietary
          NeXT computers (informally known as "black boxes").
          NEXTSTEP includes a specific graphical user interface, an
          interface builder, object-oriented application builder, and
          several "kits" of prebuilt software objects such as the
          Indexing Kit for databases.  This software runs on top of
          NeXT's version of the Mach operating system on NeXT,
          486, Pentium, HP-PA, and Sun SPARC computers.
       
          The official spelling changed from "NeXTstep" to "NeXTStep" to
          "NeXTSTEP", and finally "NEXTSTEP".
       
          The last release of NEXTSTEP was 3.3, which NeXT then
          developed into "{OpenStep".
