          The GNUstep GUI library is a free software package implementing the
          API of the OpenStep Application Kit (tm), or "AppKit", including
          later additions.  This documentation package describes the core of
          the Base library; for documentation on additional classes, see the
          <uref url="../Additions/index.html">GuiAdditions</uref>
          documentation package.

          GNUstep is generally compatible with the OpenStep specification and
          with recent developments of the Mac OS X (Cocoa) API.  Where MacOS
          deviates from the OpenStep API, GNUstep generally attempts to
          support both versions.  In some cases the newer MacOS APIs are
          incompatible with OpenStep, and GNUstep usually supports the richer
          version. See the <uref
          url="../General/OpenStepCompliance.html">OpenStep Compliance</uref>
          section for more information on OpenStep Compliance.
