Someone please tell : >me if I'm wrong ... : Yes, he did, but in NS3.3 the DBKit is history in favor of NeXT's new : Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF). Thus, I doubt the adaptor is of : any value. I also believe there is no I-NET for NEXTSTEP, although I : would like to know otherwise :-) Ah, the horrors of next step. Yes, there is an I-Net or at least there was. We had one client out of 34 using NexStep for their platform. We runb under RDS. Always, something different about that port.
