So that would be running on some kind of NeXT box Yes, as Milo points out, an M68K model, for which afaik no emulator exists. The original hardware can still be bought on ebay, or from http://www.blackholeinc.com/ (if they are still responsive). However you should be able to run NEXTSTEP/Intel (which means a late version like 3.3) on emulated hardware (QEMU, Bochs, etc), which coincidentally is what I've been trying to do this week. Several versions of TBL's browser (M68K and Intel binaries for NEXTSTEP 3.3) can be found at http://browsers.evolt.org/?worldwideweb/ NeXT --Toby > ...
