I got GEM from a box of disks my father-in-law had stored away in a
closet.  Since he died my mother-in-law has been going through stuff and
gave them to me.  It included:  GEM/3 Desktop, Desktop Publisher, PCX-IMG
Filter Pack, Graph, Draw Plus, Wordchart, Bitstream fonts, Printer
drivers, GEM Artline.   All of this by Digital Research.  And then
several Softkey brand programs.  Nice Haul I think.  
I would think that Caldera would have no problems getting their hands on
code for GEM because of their kinship with DR.  

Even if not brought back as 32-bit, the GEM desktop and supplemental
program were very good work well on even a 286.  I'm gonna try on an
8088? or 8086 this weekend for my daughter's school computer.


Thanks,
