Not true. As a maintainer of the lastest ftp NeXT freewares repository, I can see that NEXTSTEP (so mach kernel) ran on 68k, x86, PA-RISC, and SPARC platforms. Of course OpenStep existed not only for mach but also for Windows NT/95 (like the Yellow Box Rhapsody, with a better support of the broker system and OLE than Microsoft itself), SunOS and HP-UX.
Every genuine or complete NEXTSTEP 3 Apps were a bundle directory which contains 4 binaries for 680x0, x86, HPPA and SPARC (OPENSTEP bundles were more complex because the Resources content were splitted for OpenStep IB and Windows ones); and so, the file manager or the 'open' command launched the well-fitted binary when you "start" the bundle directory.
