[GEM Development] DOS-GEM in VirtualBox (Was DOS in VirtualPC)

Hi all,
Reading the responses I had to create a summary of my project and of
course which files it contains.
-----
It started off with VPC-2004 and a try to create a virtual machine with
DOS and (of course) GEM on top.
Then an upgrade to VPC-2007.
These machines where static. No attempts to create larger disks.
In the beginning of 2013, when I had a 24 hour per week job, I filled my
spare time to create a setup application with INNO-Setup (see innosetup.com)
I created a 4 MB hard-disk for pre-installed GEM-applications (GEMBOOT
disk) and a 4 MB hard-disk (GEMDATA called) for easy install and
original zip-files.
With the easy-install I mean that the installation is straight forward:
PKUNZIP -O -D <filename> C:\
-----
Now the set-up-application has grown into maturity (still not grown up
;) ) with configuration for VirtualBox, checks on version for VirtualBox
and Windows.
The GEMBOOT has grown to 58 MB and the GEMDATA to 106 MB.
GEMBOOT is a OpenGEM v6 system with the largest working screen size I
could find on John Elliots pages.
And not all GEM-applications/versions have been processed.
-----
GEMBOOT the latest version is installed and GEMDATA contains all (read
older) versions.
The known exception of this is Ventura publisher. I did not process the
latest version (3.0 professional)
If there were GEM-manuals in PDF of the installed applications I do
install them as well.
Thus all-in-all the set-up-application has grown to a 310MB with a
needed space 396 MB.
-----
See attachment for the contents of the GEMDATA
Happy reading.
PS:
If you have GEM-applications or created one please make me happy :)
