Subject: GNUstep receives help from VMware
                        Date: Dec 10th, 2001
                        From: Laurent Julliard (GNUstep project) 

                        VMware Inc., a company well known for its PC 
virtualizer software, has responded positively to the GNUstep project
                        team who asked for free VMware Workstation 3.0 
licenses. 

                        The four licenses donated by VMWare Inc. to the GNUstep 
project will allow GNustep developers to run Openstep
                        4.2 while developing GNUstep on their Linux 
workstation. Although the OpenStep operating system is no longer
                        supported, it is still a useful reference for the 
GNUstep implementation and the new Cocoa Framework of MAC OS X
                        is also heavily based on the OpenStep specification. 

                        GNUstep, a project from the Free Software Foundation, 
provides an Object-Oriented application development
                        framework and tool set for use on a wide variety of 
computer platforms. GNUstep is based on the original OpenStep
                        specification provided by NeXT, Inc. (now Apple). 
GNUstep is becoming more and more stable every day and is
                        used in a production environment by several companies. 

                        VMware Inc. offers VMware workstation 3.0, a software 
product that allows you to run many guest operating
                        systems on a single Linux or Windows workstation. Free 
30 day evaluation licenses are available from the VMware
                        Web site. Although not officially supported by VMware, 
Openstep 4.2 for Intel runs on VMware 3.0 Workstation. See
                        below for installation and setup instructions.
