Nextstep 3.1 operating system for Intel 486/Pentium and Evaluation
Promo
NextStep is the operating system created by Steve Jobs, of Apple fame,
in the 1990s.
NEXTSTEP is a combination of several parts:
a Unix-like operating system based on the Mach kernel, plus source code
from UC Berkeley's BSD Unix
Display PostScript and a windowing engine
the Objective-C language and runtime
an object-oriented (OO) application layer, including several "kits"
development tools for the OO layers
The key to NEXTSTEP's fame is the last three items. The toolkits
offered incredible power, and were used to build all of the software on
the machine. Distinctive features of the Objective-C language made the
writing of applications with NEXTSTEP far easier than on many competing
systems, and the system was often pointed to as a paragon of computer
development, even a decade later.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER.
NextStep was very fussy about the hardware it ran on when it was
released. It has not been tested on any modern PC. It is sold "as
is" so no return if it doesn't run on your PC. You have been warned.
This is new and has never been used. It is in good condition except for
the cardboard boxes that contains the items. Something heavy has been
resting on the boxes and the cardboard boxes have been dented by it.
The contents books, booklets, CDroms and disks are all fine.
