Is it really like you *must* write an EOF clone to be taken seriously  
in the OpenStep Scene? … let me count - GNUstep has GDL1 and GDL2,  
Helge wrote something for SOPE, Andreas Höschler has something with  
bells and whistles, you wrote one and I know of several failed  
attempts of people you probably don't know …

Well I just had to say this ;-)
