  NEXTSTEP
       
           The original {multitasking} {operating
          system} that {NeXT, Inc.} developed to run on its proprietary
          {NeXT} computers (informally known as "black boxes").
          NEXTSTEP includes a specific {graphical user interface}, an


          interface builder, {object-oriented} application builder, and
          several "kits" of prebuilt software {objects} such as the
          Indexing Kit for {databases}.  This software runs on top of
          NeXT's version of the {Mach} operating system on {NeXT},
          {486}, {Pentium}, {HP-PA}, and {Sun} {SPARC} computers.
       
          The official spelling changed from "NeXTstep" to "NeXTStep" to
          "NeXTSTEP", and finally "NEXTSTEP".
       
          The last release of NEXTSTEP was 3.3, which NeXT then
          developed into "{OpenStep}".
