As far as I know, GEMDOS doesn't share any DNA with DOS Plus, though
they may have superficial similarities (being operating systems by
Digital Research that implement the MSDOS 2.x API). DOS Plus is, under
the covers, an MS-DOS emulator running on top of a multitasking CP/M-86
kernel, while GEMDOS isn't.
