It's not a GEM app, but appears to be written in the same language -- MegaBasic,
according to strings found in QuickText's RUN.EXE (and also, now I look more
carefully, in QuickMap's QM400.EXE). Interesting... So was QuickMap's AES
written in a BASIC dialect? And who would have put the bulk of the effort into
a port -- DRI presumably?
A bit of Googling turns up <http://www.timeslice.ca/megabas.html>, which
mentions Chris Cochran -- the same name appears in both runtimes... Wonder if
it's worth contacting him; either someone spent a lot of time and effort on
QuickMap, or this MegaBasic could produce GEM apps with relative ease. Maybe.
