Yep, I've got it to build and run without crashing -- I posted the requisite
change (one byte!) to the list in February, but it probably got lost in the
noise.  If I get a chance tomorrow I'll incorporate that change into my tree and
upload a ZIP of the full thing.

It's (at least for the XM VDI) hardcoded to x:\GEMSCRAP, where x may or may not
be hardcoded to C.  The VDI uses it when copying/pasting to/from DOS
applications; any change to make the AES more flexible needs to be replicated in
the GDOS, otherwise you'll get apparent hangs when using the DOS clipboard.
