FreeGEM
(ver 3.2.3-paac10a)
Abandoned Freeware


FreeGEM is a freeware clone of the Digital Research's ClassicMac-like GEM. GEM is a 
Shell program that runs on top of DOS.  Default GEM expects that the Shell and any 
applications be in the C: drive, and that the disk format be FAT16.

Although some menus can be accessed from the keyboard, FreeGEM requires a mouse.

This version of FreeGEM has been installed to C:\GEMAPPS.  To start the Shell, 
go to C:\GEMAPPS\GEMSYS, and run "GEMVDI.EXE".  If you need to reconfigure any 
settings, go to C:\GEMAPPS\GEMSYS\SETUP and run the appropriate batch file.

Optional (personally untested) 640x400, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024 VESA drivers.
