If you mean "Can an app running on one NeXT display on another?" then yes.
In the Preferences app on the displaying machine, under Unix Expert, check
"Public Window Server," log out, and log back in.  Then, open a shell on
the displaying machine, rlogin to the machine where the app is and type

appmachine>TheApp -NXHost displaymachine

After a bit, a miniwindow will appear at the bottom of displaymachine's
screen, representing the app.  Double-click it.

Dunno.

bInstance will be pointing to an instance of B, which is exactly like an
instance of A, except that it has whatever additional instance variables
and methods you've declared in B.h.
