In counterpoint to this, a DOSBox preinstalled with GEM (or at least
the configuration and GEM installation and so forth) would be quite
useful to me, at least, as I do not currently possess a windows
machine; thus having a command I could run to fire up GEM (or even a
set of directories I could copy into a dosbox directory and just hit
"go") in a window would be quite useful.
Though this shifts the focus away from GEM for Windows to a more
general "GEM-in-a-box"...
I think it's worth doing, personally, and could be useful. I'd
certainly be willing to test and tweak on MacOS.
Rob.
