Hi all
The final(?) Release Candidate of OpenGEM 7 is ready and available for testing.
To try it just download the zip file from the repository and unpack to the C:
drive in your relevant machine while preserving directory structure. Type GEM

Hi,
You can install additional software in FreeDOS using "packages". Either
by downloading a package first, and then installing it on your PC, or

For both steps, please make sure you have the FDNPKG tool. I'm not sure
