Cocoa, the Objective-C and Java UI library of choice, is based on NeXTStep/OpenStep with a lot of additional enhancements for multimedia content delivery (which, as I understand it, NeXT was a little thin on). The actual 2D/window system layer, Quartz, is an entirely new creation which is based on PDF rather than NeXT's Display Postscript model. - Jordan > "Crist J.
