Unlike most of the people that have responded to this post, I have no
connection with any maker of any product, but I am a satisfied 
customer of ASW's Engage.  Jayson was very friendly to deal with,
even called me from the States when I was having a problem...

As far as I know, NeXTstep 3.0 has not changed it's Dock to accomodate
more than the 13 apps.  There are a few PD applications that allow you
to extend it in some manner or another, as well as the commercial
programmes...  

Most of the extenders work on the same pricnciple, you place in your
real dock a programme that you launch at login.  To add programmes to
your "fake" dock, you drag the icon of the app, file, or folder you
wish to add on top of the icon of the Dock Extender in the real Dock...

The biggest probelm I've seen is that if you double click on a file,
such as a .create file, it will not check to see if the DockExtender
programme has a copy of it sitting there to be launched, instead,
it will launch a copy and take a place in the row at the bottowm
of the screen.  The only way around it is to launch the application 
first, and then open the file second.

Just my tuppence worth,
