   1) Me thinks its called ProjectBuilder not ProjectManager (correct me if I'm  
   wrong)
   2) Everything I've heard in the past has indicated it doesn't support revision  
   control. (again, 3.0 types correct me if I'm wrong)


It is indeed called ProjectBuilder and that's the appropriate name
because it does NOT support revision control.  Given the way it
interfaces with gdb and Edit and the way gdb interfaces with Edit, you
can happily edit, compile, link and debug without ever entering a
shell.  So the lack of GUI for revision control is even more obvious
than it was under NS 2.0.

CVS users are in for a shock when they get NeXTSTEP 3.0.  Nib files
have been turned into directories, and CVS will thus put its CVS
subdirectories in them on checkout.   InterfaceBuilder, of course,
doesn't know anything about CVS, and will effectively remove them
when you edit the nib.

A workaround for the above problem is in the works, stayed tuned
for announcements.   The real fix has to come from NeXT and I 
understand it has high priority for some future release.
