12      <p>
13      This file documents the compliance of all the classes in the
14      GNUstep Gui library. Note that the following is just a best guess
15      as to the compliance of the classes. Each class was checked to make
16      sure it implemented all the documented OpenStep methods and functions.
17      In addition, extensive testing has been performed on the GNUstep Gui
18      Library, and it is believed, to the best of our knowledge, that it
19      operates according to the OpenStep specification, with the caveat that
20      there are always bugs in any implementation and there are most likely
21      bugs in the current implementation that we are not aware of.
22      </p>
23      <p>
24      The following classes conform to the OpenStep specification:
