Perhaps, problem is I need a copy of it. Was hoping there was maybe an emulator somewhere on the web which had a both the emulator and the image or whatever of NeXT.
Thanks.
There isn't one.

Since it has been 7 years since this thread was active, I was wondering if a NeXTStep emulator has shown up since. Thanks.

Why would there be updates on an emulator for an operating system that died 20 years ago? Seriously?
I used NexTStep way back when. And it was a nice system. Sure, I feel some nostalgia. But it isn't coming back.
If you want your NeXTStep jollies, become a Mac Developer and smile each time you use classes starting with "NS". All of them. That's why the Cocoa classes are called that. Put your Mac Dock on the right side. That's very NeXT-ish as well.

Why shouldn't there? There are even updates on emulators for systems that died much longer ago.
There is a NeXT Hardware emulator on the way, still in development at the moment:

Looks interesting, but a long way to go still.
