: great code.  His desktop has already brought new life to GEM and has
: been highly successful in OpenGEM 5.  John has continued coding and
: OpenGEM 6 sees a great new advance: we now have support for the DOS
: international code page.  This will greatly simplify any attempts to

  which is still using the August 2005 release of SDPSC9.VGA (plus the
original GEM 3.1 version in GEMAPPS\FONTS and GEMAPPS\GEMSYS\SETUP\VIDEO). 
You can easily tell when you're using the latest SDPSC9 because the font
will be from the current codepage rather than the GEM codepage, and so your
chosen close button graphic will look like a sideways T rather than a
circle.

  You also don't appear to have included SETTINGS.APP / GEMSET.RSC, which 
I think belong with the AES.
