Steve Jobs has reportedly ordered software developer Rick Scherle to stop work on an interface for the Apple Computer Macintosh which appears similar to one on Jobs’ NeXT workstations: Scherle designed an interface similar to NeXTStep and called it Browser; it displays files, enables users to launch applications and open folders, but displays the information in vertical columns starting on the left with the root directory; he put the thing into the public domain on a Berkeley Macintosh user group bulletin board and soon got the call from Jobs, so he is now working on one that will be a bit different.
