> The DOS version was dreadful. Not at first, and not later. Apple sued DR and won, and DR had to cripple PC GEM. No overlapping windows, no icons on the desktop, drop-down menus instead of pull-down, and much more. When it went GPL, all the removed functionality was put back, plus most of the stuff from the vendor-specific runtime-only versions 4 and 5. IMHO it looked great: https://www.seasip.info/Gem/History/freegem2.html https://www.seasip.info/Gem/History/freegem2.html Also, some of the GPL code went into EmuTOS, an all-FOSS TOS+GEM, so it wasn't wasted or lost.
