The GNUstep gui library is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon Apple's Cocoa framwork (which came from the OpenStep specification). These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
The file ANNOUNCE contains a very brief overview of the library. It also tells you where to get the most recent version.
The file NEWS has the library's feature history.
The files INSTALL or GNUstep-HOWTO (from the web site) gives instructions for installing the library.
