4 This is version 0.8.9 of the GNUstep GUI Backend (`gnustep-back').
5
6 What is the GNUstep GUI Backend?
7 ================================
8
9 It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The
10 implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The
11 first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
12 and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end
13 component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
14 specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep
15 applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
16 system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
17 easily ported to other display systems.
18
19 The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or
20 Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the
21 DPS functions required by the front-end system.
