Overview

GNUstep Examples are a compilation of applications and tools to demonstrate and test the abilities of certain GNUstep classes. Some of them are useful enough on their own; others are included purely for testing purposes.

Here is a short description of the programs in alphabetical order:

CurrencyConverter

Simple currency converter.

Finger

An application to perform network operations like finger(1), whois(1), ping(8) and traceroute(1).

GFractal

A simple fractal viewer.

GSTest

Tests for various GNUstep GUI classes, combined in one application.

HostAddress

Application to convert a hostname to an IP address and vice-versa.

Ink

A text editor that supports both plain text and RTF/RTFD. Usually the “standard” test application, especially for the NSDocument class. See TextEdit(1) for a more capable editor.

Options

All programs do not accept any options except the standard GNUstep ones. md5Digest reads files from the standard input.
