3. Overview

Gorm is an application for creating the user interface (and possibly entire applications) for a GNUstep application. Initially a close clone of the old NeXTstep 3.3 Interface Builder application, I expect that Gorm will mutate beyond the capabilities of that app.

GNUstep is an object-oriented programming framework and a collection of tools developed for or using the GNUstep libraries.

You can find out more about GNUstep at http://www.gnustep.org

The basic idea behind Gorm is simple - it provides a graphical user interface with which to connect together objects from the GNUstep libraries (as well as custom-written objects) and set their attributes in an easy to use manner.

The collection of objects is then saved as a document which can either be re-loaded into Gorm for further editing, or can be loaded into a running GNUstep application in order to provide that application with a user interface or some subsystem.
