Which "GEM"? I'm not sure it's developed or even maintained anymore. I haven't heard jack from anybody (nor Shane Coughlin) about it in recent times. (Not that I should, just saying ....) Latest is probably "OpenGEM", check iBiblio for latest (2006-ish, apparently): http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=opengem http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/gui/opengem/6/ (2006, 2010) http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengem/files/opengem/OpenGEM%20SDK%203/opengem-sdk-release-3.zip/download (2008) Anyways, will it run on others? Dunno, there are way too many DOSes, and I don't have the energy or interest in testing them all! (ROM DOS, PC-DOS, PTS-DOS, EDR-DOS, DR-DOS, RDOS, etc.) The "fun" thing about computers is that you can never know if something will work until you try it. Even then, you might try incorrectly, or maybe it's just not (well) supported (anymore). But having said that, I'm not personally aware of any incompatibilities nor any FreeDOS-isms (bad!). But a healthy dose of skepticism is required as 100% compatibility of anything is often difficult (without lots of testing). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
