Hi,
I once heard someone say you could run NeXTStep on an IBM RS/6000
workstation because they both use the Mach kernal. I called
all over the country talking to NeXT and IBM, and no one seems
to have a definitive answer. Finally someone in Cambridge suggested
I ask on the net. He mentioned Carnegie Mellon in particular. 

So here it is, has anyone ported NeXTStep to another platform?
I know about NeXT working on the Intel 486 version. We have lots
of RS/6000's and just want the OS. The other platform that would be
nice is the SGI's. I would apprieciate any thoughts and would be
glad to post a summary.
