I was messing with FreeDOS today, and relized with a little work the GUI GEM could be sweet. I'm thinking of messing around with it some, anyone now anything about it (I read the wikipedia article)?

A guy named Owen Rudge was working on a clone called OpenGEM. A little FYI, Apple sued Digital Research because GEM looked like Mac OS.

That was when GEM had decent market share. What's GEM written in? C, C++, ASM?

BrandonRe:OpenGEM
That my problem, I think C. Hey Todd you're out of the loop, OpenGEM hasn't had a release for 3 years.

I said, [quote]A guy named Owen Rudge [b]was[/b] [i](not IS)[/i] working on a clone called OpenGEM.[/quote] Yeah it was written in C. I'm not sure if it had Assembly in it or not but I'll have a look at the code.

I've played around with OpenGEM as well. I think it's writen in C but it's not as cool as [url=http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/floxwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Pics.Screenshots]oZone[/url]

ToddRe:OpenGEM
oZone is the best!!! It hasn't crashed for me so far and it's perfect! It's like the faster successor to SEAL. Did you ever try their "Codename Illkirch," that oZone App Designer? It is a breakthrough.

agumaRe:OpenGEM
oh yeah, I heard about it in the old forum. Can it multitask?

ToddRe:OpenGEM
You bet. It uses it's own architecture to develop something similar to EXEs which it uses as executables from which it can multitask. It is really awesome! You should download a copy and try it for yourself.

I tried it; it's AWESOME!

ToddRe:OpenGEM
The guy who made it made a previous version of it called QubeOS. It's somewhere on the internet but it resembles oZone GUI. There are several GUIs that were made as forks of SEAL like BadSeal (the continued old-school version of SEAL). I forget the others but BadSeal was the one that stuck in my mind.
