Thanks. It works perfectly. Are there any plans to merge the FreeGEM
AES with GEM/XM's AES? I REALLY like this version of GEM as the
multitasking/task-switching is very useful for me. There was one
problem though.
If I launch FreeCOM in GEM/XM, using '+' to view the XM menu doesn't
do anything other than print a '+' on the command prompt. Any idea as
to why this happens? AFAIK, FreeCOM doesn't hook Int 21 or anything
like that. Win98's command.com in pure DOS under FreeDOS also simply
prints '+' on the command prompt. However, in Micro-C's IDE, it works
fine and pops up the menu.
Also, what's the easiest way to convert a CLI program into a GEM
program? And, btw, is there actual multitasking going on between
GEM/XM applications or is it task-switching?
