+ The EDCommon framework extends Foundation and AppKit in a natural way.
+It contains common methods you always need, like removing whitespace around
+a string, special collection classes such as stack or object pair, an
+object-oriented API for socket programming, some widgets, the chasing
+arrows to indicate background activity for example, an XML parser and
+other nifty stuff.
+
+ The origins of the EDCommon und EDMessage frameworks date back to 1997
+and the original NeXT implementation of the OpenStep standard. Most of
+their components have been thoroughly tested and refined through years of
+use in OpenSource as well as in commercial projects. EDCommon also has
+full Apple-style reference documentation for all classes and other APIs.
