The answer for OpenGEM/XM is that it tries to SUBST Z:, and if it does
not exist a minor error message is displayed the OpenGEM/XM runs away.

Interestingly, OpenGEM/XM is not running on DOSBOX.  DOSBOX thinks it is
in Drive Z:.  I wonder if the problem is connected?  The error message
in this case is that GEM 3.0 requires at least 500kb of memory.  Over
600kb is available.
