Actually, Nutation does exist.  I have it.  Unfortunately, it is broken in
NS 3.0 and it needs the Adobe "Sonata" font to work in 2.0.  It used to 
be at CCRMA-ftp.stanford.edu but I haven't seen it since NS 3.0 came out.
Last I heard Glendon was working in some administrative capacity at CCRMA
but I suspect he may have gotten another job elsewhere.  I wonder where
Glendon went to and if he's quietly porting Nutation over to NS 3.0?
Incidently, at the time of the NeXTworld article NS 2.0 was pretty well
established but Nutation only worked in NS 1.0.  I don't believe NeXTWorld
mentioned that suttle detail and I've always wondered why they featured an
application that didn't work until at least six months later.  I sure
wish someone picked it up for distribution.
