    I'm currently finishing plowing through Aaron Hillegass' book, "Cocoa
Programming for Mac OSX", have read the chapter on GNUStep, and also the
rebuttal on gnustep.org.  My question is: Has anyone successfully used
GNUStep to get their Cocoa code over to laptop?  I assume GNUStep is
available here.

    We are developing (actually, redeveloping) a remote-targeted multimedia
presentation program for course lectures that include a lot of interactive
components.  Of course, the receiver side is much simpler than the
authoring/sending side.  It would be nice to be able to have a target mode
that would include the laptop, where the sending side might still be a Mac.
I realize that there is a whole raft of other questions, such as what to do
about Quartz rendering and text handling, but we'll deal with that
separately.
