Thanks.<br><br>David Johnson<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><pre>Section 1 - General Questions<br><br>1.1 - Are you developing software to run under GEM (any version)? If<br>No go to 1.2<br><br>Not developing but had some fun making simple ports of <span>bwbasic</span> <br>and 4tH to GEM. I enjoy using 4tH in the GEM environment.<br><br>1.1.1 - What version of GEM are you developing for? (eg: OpenGEM, DR<br>GEM/3, Atari GEM)<br>FreeGEM & OpenGEM<br><br>1.1.2 - What tools are you using?<br><br>Pacific-C, turbo-C, djgpp, bindings and utilities from John Elliott<br><br>1.1.3 - Are they free? (as in 'really' free - released under a<br>free-ware or open source license)<br><br> yes<br><br>1.1.4 - Where
do you get your documentation? From the tools you use,<br>from other developers, from google? <br><br>Mostly from John Elliott's site and the related "FreeGEM" & "OpenGEM" <br>sites.<br><br>1.2 - Do you *need* to use GEM? If No go to 1.3<br><br>No. Really cannot think of case where a better <br> alternative is not available (though it my be more modern).<br><br>1.3 - Do you enjoy using GEM? If No go to 1.4<br>Yes<br><br><br>1.3.1 - Why? <br><br>It's fun playing with this bit of living history. <br>I completely missed seeing it. As a user (mosty how<br>I use a computer), I moved from dos to windows with coming <br>across it. If I was lucky, I could get my hands on mac<br>at the time. <br><br>1.3.2 - What would you change about current GEM versions if you could?<br>It would be interesting to see if anything more happens with GEMXM<br><br>1.4 - Please give me a free form comment about what you think of GEM.<br><br>It's great fun, many thanks to the
FreeGEM, GEM-dev community for making<br>it available.<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>gem-<span>dev</span> mailing list<br>gem-dev@simpits.org<br>http://www.simpits.org/mailman/listinfo/gem-dev<br></pre></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
