> Hi guys... I've been busy looking at GEM/XM with a FreeDOS guy called
> Blair Campbell, and we've got a question...  In the GEM/XM file there is
> a readme document that refers to missing linker files (INP files?).  Can
> someone explain what they are, and if they were restored in the
> FreeGEM/XM beta4 that Ben released?  Here is a copy of the text from the
> readme file in the GEM/XM archive:
> 
> There is source code for the main parts i.e. GEMVDI, GEM, DESKTOP,
> but there are no linker list files:- .INP files, although the batch
> files are here.
> There appear to be some parts of the binaries missing and to run it
> properly you
> would need a utility to set up a ramdisk in expanded memory. [Please
> upload if anybody has one which can be added to the archive].
> If you get it running the Desktop reports itself as 3.13 the last
> published invocation, However the directory structure is strictly GEM 1,
> and you will need drivers from GEM 2, because of the missing bits you
> will have to load it by hand
> and use the keypad to move the mouse, (seven [pos ] is equivallent of
> mouse click)
> The GEM base files are larger than their equivallent from the released
> versions of GEM.
> Tools used in the build include Lattice 2,14; Rasm86; Metaware HC 1.4;
> Link86 and RASM -(no suffix).
