[GEM Development] OpenGEM Release 4 IMPORTANT UPDATE!

[Shane M. Coughlan]

Shane Land is rather embarressed to announce updates to OpenGEM Release 
4 just one day after the official launch!

OpenGEM, the GUI intended to provide support for the FreeDOS 1.0 
release, has some problems!

OpenGEM Release 4 Complete, Core and Experimental had some issues that 
were discovered by Daniel Quintiliani of the GNU/DOS project over at 
http://danq.lunarpages.com/gnudos/

1) The REPAIR function used to restore essential system files was faulty.

2) The "Exit to DOS" function of the GEM launching file was faulty on 
some versions of DOS.

In addition, we discovered that the UPDATE and INSTALL functions of 
OpenGEM were not working correctly on OpenGEM Release 4 Complete, Core 
and Experimental.

These issues have all been corrected, and an updated version of OpenGEM 
Release 4 Complete, Core or Experimental can be downloaded from 
http://gem.shaneland.co.uk.

If you have already installed OpenGEM Release 4, you can get an update 
patch for OpenGEM Complete, Core or Experimental by visiting 
http://gem.shaneland.co.uk.  To install the update, simply extract the 
zipfile to C:\ and recreate subfolders while overwriting files.

You can look at this two ways...one way is to think that even after all 
these months of development Shane Land still releases buggy 
software...the other way is that we took 24 hours to fix the problem 
after we were told about it.

Shane
