Foundation controversy.

Yes, it is bad news, and I'm sorry.

Basically, if you are insistent on staying with pre-3.3, then your option  
is to wait for 4.0 and use OmniWeb 2.0 and OmniPDF and any other Omni apps  
then.  If you aren't even planning on moving to 4.0, then you won't be able  
to run OpenStep apps, and you'll be left in the dirt by a lot more than just  
the Omni apps.

For comparison, not a lot of people write software for Windows 3.0 any  
more, either.

I know a lot of people are stuck at Universities where they can't get the  
funding for upgrades, and I feel bad for those people, but I can't justify  
staying in the past because of that.  The truth of the matter is that the  
majority of sites I know that aren't upgrading are either sites that have no  
money to spend on NEXTSTEP, or have decided to phase out NEXTSTEP.  While I  
would love to support the innocent NeXT enthusiasts at these sites, it  
makes no financial sense to write apps aimed at that market.
