NEXTSTEP 3.3 - is that what you mean by "later editions"? It's the same
version I run on M68K and PA-RISC and would obviously have no problems
reading the CERN filesystem. There are NEXTSTEP images, and you can even boot
them in QEMU - so on pretty
much anything. (see

Do you have any more info or pointers on this? I've never even heard
of such a thing. I have a full copy of actual NeXTstep, but no
hardware to run it on.
Or [belated realisation] are you only referring to the later editions
for PC-compatible hardware?
FWIW, looks like I took some incomplete notes. Googling "NEXTSTEP 3.3
QEMU" pulls up more.
