Hi guys

The first development package of what will become OpenGEM/XM (a
multi-tasking version of OpenGEM) is now online.

You can download it here:

To run it, just run GEM.BAT after unzipping everything to your C: root
and keeping the folder structure.

Do NOT install this over an existing OpenGEM installation, as the
directory structures are different and you'll end up with a mess.  If
you are using OpenGEM 5 or previous, and want to try this, please backup
OpenGEM 5 and delete all the files.

This needs testing.  Many things do NOT work yet.  For instance, trying
to run Output will result in a rather fun crash.  Please test, and send
reports.  You need to make sure your Z: drive is not in use, as
OpenGEM/XM will use this as a virtual memory area.

The code here is FreeGEM/XM 3.0beta4
(http://www.deltasoft.com/downloads/gemxm.zip) and John Elliott's new
GEMVDI for GEM/XM (http://www.seasip.info/Gem/Software/qdxm2.zip).
These were installed with the applications from OpenGEM 5 Complete and a
cut-down version of GEM.BAT.

Exiting times lie ahead!  All reports to gem at shaneland.co.uk
