[GEM Development] Whatever happened to OpenGem?

[Thomas Clayton]

Dear Mike:

I admit to NOT knowing there was a Release 6 of OpenGEM. However, the "app.s" from R5 (and a few previous R'es) _should_ run just great in R6.

I _suspect_ Shane was concerned with the "core" environment (and its API's) rather than the 'app.s' themselves.

OpenGEM isn't like Linux in this respect: the app.s are not 'bound' to that _ONE_ release (distro?) ONLY. If you go back "far enough" and/or take the commercial app.s released (before ~1993) _THEN_ _they_ might not run.

In any case, TRY the app.s from R5 - and SEE for yourself.


Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton
