Is there GEM related information on available software (or portability
tools) that are being developed in parallel with the hardware so that GEM
can produce "usable" and "analyzable" data? Users might consider it a
backward step to have diffraction hardware that produces 64 Mbyte datasets -
where present available analysis software is more optimised for files
measured in Kbytes?
