<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I<small> contacted one of the
DTP companies -- GST or Serif -- in the late 90s about releasing the
code under the GNU licence or some similar agreement, and received a
friendly response. However, the company was unwilling to release the
code. From memory, though, they were "unlikely to take action" against
anyone making a copy for personal and private use.<br>
<br>
The correspondence was lost in the Great Hard Disk Disaster, but is
probably in a GEM archive somewhere, as I forwarded everything to the
group.<br>
<br>
You might need to look somewhere around 1998...<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Nick and GEM-DEV'ers:
GEM 5? Never heard of it! Did it exist? Tell US about it.
"GST Publisher", since it did not / DOES not come from Digital
Research, it is NOT covered by the Caldera release of GEM under the
GNU Public License (GNU-PL). (If GST relesaed it, that would be
different!)
As such, even IF I had a copy, I couldN'T give you a COPY. I could,
ONLY, transfer the license rights and all materials that I had to
you (AND NOT keep a copy for myself)!
That having been said, what is different about "GST Publisher" than
the "Publish It! vn. 2" program that "Timeworks, Inc" released in
the USA (~1992)? ("Publish It!" was based upon GST code according
to the copyrights.)
Timeworks was located nearby me - Chicago area, IL, USA and is now
defunct - but I have two copies of their "Publish It! - Lite" and
two of "Publish It! vn. 2". (One boxed, one not.) Unfortuneately, I
didn't make it to their bankruptcy 'auction' :-(
Anyone KNOW if ANY of their other programs were GEM 'based'?
(They might, for example, have been GEM 'runtime-only' environment
programs - like Xerox Ventura Publisher. (I've got versions of VP,
BTW, as well.)
In summary, Nick, I'm curious as to what YOU happen to KNOW about
these requests of your's.
Sincerely,
Thomas Clayton

It seems that I have made, ashamed as I am to say this, a
mistake. It
is not the drawing program, Artline, that I want -- it is GST
Publisher, alternatively known as GEM 5. Could someone please
provide
me the link to get GEM 5?
Thanks,
Nick.
