[GEM Development] Multitasking OpenGEM on its way

[Dostal, Chris E.]

Figure I'd add my 2 cents in here :-)
 
I just remembered an issue I had with this old dos based monitoring software we had over here.. I got that message "requires atleast x KB" and scratched my head after MEM.EXE reported well over 600 free..
 
I decrease stacks and fcb in config.sys (I think that was buffers=.. bla too long ago) anywhere that area seemed to do it for me, maybe that's got something to do with it?
 
Ah if it doesn't just delete me and let someone useful answer :-)
 
Chris.

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.
