 Exactly, GNUStep is going to be an implementation of OpenStep, but it will
 also run on OS/2 WARP, along with most UNIX-implementations.

 Sort of, yes. Actually, it`s an API (Application Programming Interface).
 All OpenStep-applications are portable to every OpenStep-implementation,
 and NeXT, SunSoft, Digital and GNUStep are working on such an implementation.

 NeXT for NEXTSTEP 4.0, Windows NT and Windows 94. SunSoft for Solaris
 (SPARC, x86, and PowerPC), Digital for Digital UNIX, and GNUStep for
 most UNIX-implementations and OS/2.
