Recently there was a discussion here about including a GUI with Dr-DOS. 
I got a hold of GEM/3 Desktop the other day.  I installed it on a 286
computer. I think it is much better than the New Deal Office/Geos thing. 
Less cluttered interface, and has a lot of possibilities in regards to
updating it to be flexible.  I don't think it would be hard at all for a
programmer to rewrite it for 32-bit dos.  I haven't installed the draw,
publisher, or word processor yet.  I'm gonna try them out next.  Maybe
even on an 8088.  

So Caldera:  YES, GEM is an excellent product that should be brought back
if possible.  It would make a wonderful addition to DR-DOS, just as Star
Office + x-windows compliments your Linux.


Thanks,
